I
take pleasure in welcoming all new parents, students and community members
to Le Bocage International School. LBIS is an evolving school and a very
special place. We are extremely proud of the educational programme it
offers and the great pace of development which has occurred since its
founding in 1990.
LBIS combines an outstanding academic curriculum with an active and engaging
programme of sports, cultural and performing arts activities. Our students
consistently perform well in such challenging programmes as the International
Baccalaureate and the International General Certificate of Secondary Education.
In recent years we have seen a steadily increasing number of our IB candidates
being awarded the full IB diploma. In November 2004 100% of our graduating
class sat for the full IB Diploma with 78% of them awarded the full diploma.
Our graduates are welcomed into universities in many different countries
around the world.
The focus of our school is centred directly upon students and their learning.
LBIS aspires to being an international school of excellence. This vision
is guided by a transparent and compelling commitment to be a learning
community which at its very heart celebrates daily the values of commitment,
integrity, excellence, collaboration and love of learning. In this environment
LBIS students rise to the expectation that they will challenge and exceed
their own personal best - in other words, our students will push themselves
beyond what they have already achieved, and in the process develop the
self-confidence and will to become learners for life.
Our teachers, administrators and parents have recently forged together
a far-sighted Strategic Plan to ensure that our mission is achieved and
that LBIS continues to be an enjoyable and stimulating place to be for
teachers and students alike.
We have designed this introduction to Le Bocage International School to
provide you with a glimpse into our dynamic learning community. Please
take a moment to acquaint yourself with the academic programmes, the support
services, sports and cultural activities. In addition we have included
a section on our immediate geography and Mauritius to give you a flavour
of the area and country in which we are located.
On a personal note, I believe one of the most striking features of the
LBIS community is its friendliness and the wonderful welcome we extend
to new students and parents. I encourage you to visit us and to see first-hand
our facilities and meet our outstanding teaching staff. You will be most
welcome at the Le Bocage International School.
