Recently, RBAI’s Business Studies Department (with help from the Careers Department) hosted its annual Business Insight Conference for all Year 13 pupils. The day was facilitated by Barbara Hume from Sentinus. Throughout the day students developed their team-working, decision-making, problem-solving and communication skills as they worked in teams of 8 alongside a volunteer from the local business community.
The BOIA held a Valentines Ball for parents and friends of Inst and the wider community to raise funds for the school, which they did with sheer enjoyment and pleasure.
