Student’s Voice

For those of you not already familiar with the latest phenomenon in online social networking, Twitter is a personal news and updates service for friends, family, and co–workers. It allows you to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question:

“What are you doing?”

At Bromsgrove International School, we believe that Twitter is a great way to keep you up to date with the schools latest news and events.

You can have short school message updates sent to you by SMS, Email or RSS allowing you to keep fully up-to-date with goings on at BIST.
