Our Vision and Values ​ BBI students are self-motivated, with a love for learning. They are excited by the opportunities provided at school, and have the independence of spirit to become lifelong learners. They are active participants in their learning, rather than it being seen as something that is ‘done’ to them. Learners give consideration to their own learning and experience, assessing and understanding their strengths and limitations in order to set targets and goals to support their learning and personal development. They are effective thinkers, with the creative, critical and metacognitive skills required to enable them to learn how to learn. ​ Students develop self awareness, courage and confidence in themselves as risk-takers in their learning. They are proud of their achievements, recognising their uniqueness. They are confident decision makers, and have high expectations of themselves and others. ​ Students have an understanding of the bicultural and multicultural nature of our school and New Zealand society. They are internationally-minded, future focused citizens, aware of their responsibilities towards the environment in which they exist, and to the people they share it with. Students act with integrity and respect, acknowledging the consequences of their actions. ​ In turn, BBI provides the structures, the environment and the support to enable each student to meet with success. There is a positive school culture based on mutual respect and understanding, inspiring all to strive for their personal best at all times. ​ For students to be successful, we establish a partnership between students, teachers and parents/ caregivers, with all working together in the best interests of the learner. The school actively promotes this partnership. ​ Student learning is the focus for all that we do. ​

Languages ​ Rationale: Language and culture are inseparable - In order to embrace our world we need to learn the language of another culture. Language and Culture of New Zealand must be celebrated. ​ "Learn a new language, you open a new window on your house and you have a new vista." —Aristotle ​ BBI has chosen to incorporate Te Reo Maori as its official second language. Some classes will embrace an asian language. Where possible, culture and language will be inseparable within all units of Inquiry. This needs to relate to the bicultural nature of New Zealand or Asian Awareness, specifically focusing on the countries of Japan and China. We offer students extension language opportunities in Mandarin Chinese and Japanese and students are given the opportunity for extension in Maori Language and Culture through our Kapa hapa, waiata group and poi groups. ​ BBI Waiata ​ Over the past two years students from the Kapa haka group have written our own BBI waiata. It has been produced with music and sung at important school events. ​ ​ ​ Lyrics of School Waiata ​ Te Rere a Te Manu aaaa - uuuu – aaaa - uuuu Kua tupu ake au i roto i nga tikanga I have grown up with the values O to tatou kura wananga Here at our school BBI Ka rere atu au i konei As I fly from here Ki te tihi o Ohuiarangi To the top of my mountain Ka kawe i te kete o te wanangaI carry the basket of knowledge aaaa - uuuu – aaaa - uuuu Te kete Aronui (all sing) The kit of knowledge to help mankind Na te hau o Tawhirimatea On the winds of Tawhirimatea Ka rewa ake au - (KI RUNGA) - ki runga I rise above Kia whakatakotoria (KIA HE) ara ana mata Chorus Whaia te tikitiki Whaia te tikitikiWhaia…a…a… (Pause) te tikitiki ​ ​
