“Learning from the Past, Looking to the Future”

Beaconhouse International Student Convention (BISC) brings together students from Beaconhouse schools around the world. As 2025 marks 50 years of Beaconhouse, this year’s theme, ‘Learning from the Past, Looking to the Future,’ draws attention to its remarkable educational legacy. At the same time, Beaconhouse has always remained a learning organisation, with its eye on innovation and growth that serves to make the ever-evolving world a better place.

At BISC 2025, we aim to focus on cultivating an environment that honours the wisdom of the past while nurturing the imagination and potential of our students. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, it is imperative that we empower students to thrive as global citizens, embracing collaboration across cultures and disciplines. This year’s theme emphasises the balance between respecting their cultural, national, and educational heritage and embracing the future, encouraging students to explore their passions and harness their talents in innovative ways.

Learner agency remains a cornerstone of BISC 2025. Students will be encouraged to take ownership of their education, delving into their interests and developing the skills necessary to navigate the future with confidence. BISC will serve as a platform for showcasing entrepreneurial ideas, creative solutions, and interdisciplinary problem-solving, all of which are essential for creating a positive impact in the world.

BISC 2025, themed ‘Learning from the Past, Looking to the Future,’ stands as a testament to Beaconhouse’s commitment to shaping the future of education. By integrating the wisdom of our history with a forward-looking vision, we aim to equip students with the mindset and skills required to thrive in an interconnected, rapidly changing world.
