REQUESTS FOR REFERENCES, TRANSCRIPTS, PROOF OF SCHOOL
ATTENDANCE, STUDENT IDENTITY CARDS
School policy is that we require three weeks notification for completion of formal documents. .
Every effort is made to produce documents as soon as possible, however, due to the significant
number of such requests, we count on your understanding that documents must be applied for in
advance of need, at least three weeks prior to the required date

university application process, references are written and submitted along with applications.
Students who take a gap year will also be supplied with a reference, provided that at least three
weeks’ notice is given.
Students, who leave BIS during their school career, are entitled to a reference. The IGCSE
Coordinator (Grades 9 and 10) and the Dean of Students (Grades 11 and 12) are responsible for
producing these references. Three weeks’ notice is required prior to departure

UPPER SCHOOL BEHAVIOUR EXPECTATIONS
BIS is proud of the excellent behaviour that has been displayed by most students over the years.
The following section in no way should indicate that misbehaviour is an ordinary occurrence.
However, in fairness to students and parents who are arriving from many different schools
throughout the world, we believe that we must state behavioural expectations and discipline
procedures in a manner most likely to be read and understood.
