BHS in the Press

Brummana High School is regularly featured in local and international press on a large variety of elements within the school’s first class, holistic education provision. Since the beginning of 2020, newspapers have been very interested to write about the online learning and support we have been providing during the Covid-19 pandemic. Other items they have wished to document include BHS community reaction following the Beirut August 4th blast, the successful BHS Gives campaign and most recently the excellent, student-led #5thBHSMUN weekend-long event which saw delegates from six countries across three continents participating.
