To celebrate the Exit Point of the IPC Learning Unit “A Day in the Life…!”, Year 1 – Botafogo Site – had an incredible Job Parade, where students showed lots of creativity transforming themselves into astronauts, singers, firefighters, doctors, ballerinas, football players, and much more! It was a memorable experience for everyone!
Through this learning journey, the children developed a greater understanding of the importance of different jobs and the positive impact they have on our society.

At the end of August, 14 students from Urca Site attended a Maths Festival at Marina da Glória organised by IMPA (Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics). The students engaged in a wide variety of interactive exhibits and hands-on activities, enjoying three hours of pure mathematical delight. This is an incredible event that happens every 2 years with the intention of showing how Maths can go beyond the classroom.
Many thanks to our Maths Department for organising the visit and to our dedicated students for participating!

Following our recent CRESST Relational Culture Review, Barra School Primary students were given feedback on the findings from the review and the student survey that was carried out. They were invited to reflect on what they see as the strengths of our school community, as well as what we can continue to develop.
The feedback highlighted the importance of listening to one another, understanding different perspectives and repairing relationships when things go wrong — all essential to meaningful restorative practices, and maintaining a safe, happy and connected school community.

As part of their new exciting IEYC Learning Unit “Animal Rescue”, Nursery – Botafogo Site – went on a Safari Adventure around our Margaret Mee Garden, using their imagination and wonder.

The children used binoculars to search for different animals, talked about the difference between pets and wild animals, shared which animals they hoped to find and sharpened their listening skills by playing a fun animal sound guessing game. After their adventure, the children completed their very own Safari Checklist, ticking the animals they had spotted along the way.

This was a lovely way to practise observation, recall and their new vocabulary. It was a wonderful morning full of pretend play, exploration, learning and lots of excitement!

The 24th Annual TBSRJ Model United Nations (TBSRJMUN) was a fantastic success! With over 188 participants from schools across Rio, students came together to debate contemporary global issues while developing leadership, critical thinking, collaboration, research, writing and public speaking skills.
MUN gives students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of international relations, act with integrity and contribute to global cooperation.
A special thank you to Ms Mariana Martins and Mr Christian Arenas for their dedication and leadership, and congratulations to all the teachers, chairs and delegations who made this event so meaningful. We hope to see you at the next one!

This weekend, we were proud to host the LAHC Brazil Regional Hub Meeting. Under the theme Nurturing Culture, Connection and Community in International Schools, the event brought together educators, students, families and leaders from four LAHC schools in Brazil: TBSRJ, St. Paul’s, St. Nicholas and St. Francis College.
This meeting was a collaborative professional learning experience. Participants, ranging from students to Board members from across the British International schools of Brazil, exchanged practice, learned from colleagues, explored shared challenges and worked together to design practical ideas that can strengthen our school communities.
It was a great opportunity to connect, contribute and learn beyond TBSRJ, while representing our school within the wider LAHC professional learning community.
Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the organisation of the event! A special thank you to Ms Renata Jardim, our Educational Staff Development Coordinator, Ms Fay Jamal, St. Francis College Curriculum Coordinator and Ms Cristina Prado, St. Nicholas School Head of Professional Growth, for leading the organisation of this outstanding learning exchange and to our sponsors , , & !
