ASAs run daily from 15:30 to 16:30. ASAs provide a diverse range of opportunities designed to nurture individual interests, develop new skills and encourage collaboration across year groups. Many activities are included in the school provision at no additional cost, while some specialised programmes are offered for an additional fee. Each semester, the ASA options are reviewed and refreshed to maintain variety and relevance.
Arts education develops creativity and imagination through visual, tactile and other sensory experiences. Pupils study a wide range of artists, craftspeople and designers from the past to the present. They learn to appreciate images and artefacts across times and cultures and reflect on their own and others' work. Excellent work is regularly celebrated and displayed throughout the school.
The school hosts events that celebrate international culture, such as International Day. The Lions' Roar is a student-created site for content highlighting student successes, school news and topical information articles, and BSB Voices podcasts provide opportunities for students to create media content. These activities give students language and communication practice and help them engage with a multicultural school community.
