As Year 2 are learning about ‘Under the Sea’ and Year 3 ‘humans and other animals’, they went on a trip to the Palma Aquarium. They took part in a drama workshop learning about the interaction of different ocean species, and also about why it is important to protect our oceans and keep them clean. They were then given a guided tour around the aquarium which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Everybody learned lots and had a great day out.

Primary students at Bellver International College were rewarded for their hard work and other qualities in the Friday afternoon assembly.
Teachers from each class nominated students to receive the certificates and everyone eagerly awaited the results. The beginning of the school year is a very important time in the Leo Club at Bellver International College. It is when the new officers are elected and plans for the forthcoming year are made.
After three years as president, Claudia from Year 11, thought it was time to hand over the important job to someone else. At a special assembly she recalled some of the highlights of her presidency and was happy to hand over the job to Gabriel from Year 10. Gabriel confidently addressed more than a hundred of his peers, telling them about the annual sponsored walk and other ideas he had for the club to be involved with during the next twelve months. Friday afternoon saw a surprise assembly for the whole school to celebrate the retirement of much loved Christine Vears.
Christine has worked at Bellver for almost thirty years and it was both a happy and sad occasion to wish her farewell. The children sang her songs and the Head Boy and Head Girl from the Primary and Secondary departments related their memories and thanks for the years of service she had given to the school. At the end of the assembly Christine was presented with a book that had been prepared by the students and a farewell song was sung. Everyone at the school wishes her a long, happy and healthy retirement. Bellver International College has been celebrating recent exam results for their IGCSEs and A level students. Students can be proud of their achievements with all obtaining 5 A*-C grades. An outstanding 87% of the grades were A*-C, with an average of 8.4 IGCSEs passed per student. This is well above the UK national average. Students at A level also achieved a 100% pass rate enabling them to pursue their future careers, in subjects such as medicine, at universities in the UK, Germany and elsewhere.
Students were pleased with their efforts with Lucia in year 12 saying: “I am very happy with my IGCSE results in year 11 and they have enabled me to be able to continue my education at Bellver and start my A levels”. Maria, from Year 12, said: “I was very happy with my results in year 11 and this has given me the chance to continue my education which is important for my future career”. The principal of the school, Mr Vincent Deperrois, added: "Every year, Bellver students achieve outstanding results thanks to their hard work and self-discipline, as well as their teachers' dedication. We are proud of them." A massive congratulations to all the students and the teachers who helped them last year and here is wishing them even more success this academic year. Bellver karting champion

Year 11 carried out a micro climate weather survey around Bellver International College to help prepare for their IGCSE exams next summer. Students learned how to use and accurately read a thermometer, anemometer, barometer, wind vane and hygrometer. They collected the data from a variety of locations and then compared their results to see if there were any specific factors which affected the results.
