BISS is proud to boast an Athletics programme full of variety and opportunities for our Elementary and Secondary students. The tables below list the teams and special one-off tournaments and events the students can participate in.
BISS is a member of the Association of Chinese And Mongolian International Schools (ACAMIS), and of the International Schools Activities Conference – Beijing / Tianjin (ISAC). Our membership provides our students a chance to compete with other schools from the Beijing area, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hong Kong and Taiwan. This also means students can have the opportunity to travel to participate in tournaments. This is a special time for our sports teams as comradeship and friendships are strengthened during these events.
Sportsmanship, positivity and empowering our students are the key goals of our athletics programme at BISS. We encourage all students to further their skills, try something new and enjoy the balance that sports and exercise can bring to their school life.
