British school's IB diplomas

JAKARTA (JP): The British International School (BIS) in
Bintaro has awarded diplomas to 14 of 15 International
Baccalaureate (IB) students, the school headmaster said
yesterday.

John Birchall said in a statement that the IB diploma is the
international matriculation requirement to enter universities.

"These BIS students will now be attending universities in many
parts of the world, including Britain, Australia, New Zealand,
the USA and Malaysia," he said.

Gisela Quast topped this year's examination with 40 points
scoring seven (top score) in English, French and geography,
followed by Tamara Brunskill, Harriet Quast and Roshan Vaswani,
he said.

BIS, which was established in Jakarta 24 years ago, has thus
far focused on teaching primary and lower secondary students, he
said. (hhr)
