King Charles III

On Tuesday 14th November King Charles III was celebrating his 75th birthday. The book about his life The Leadership and Vision of a Modern Monarch was lunched that Tuesday in the most prestigious hotel in London Claridge’s in front of 200 invited guest among whom was also our Principal Dr. Sci. Martin-Tino Časl with his wife Zdenka Časl. Author is Robert Robson who has been a keen observer of the Royal Family and the history, tradition and changing persona of British royalty for more than 30 years. A royal editor and correspondent for major media outlets around the world, he has extensive first-hand experience of royal life – both in the glare of public scrutiny and behind the scenes – having toured with the royals on countless occasions. Arthur Edwards, whose photography features within pages of book, is a legend of royal reporting. From the mid-‘70s onwards, wherever the senior royals have traveled, Arthur and his camera have accompanied them, documented over 200 royal tours to more than 120 countries. The book also includes a wider societal narrative, highlighting stories of success and progress during His Majesty’s lifetime in social, technological and commercial spheres. The book presents a celebration of Charles’s life and achievements in the year of his Coronation and 75th birthday, and looks forward to how he intends to shape the future of the monarchy over the years to come. The book has 6 chapters: The young prince; Family life; The new king; The global leader; An environmental pioneer; A vision of modern Britain. In the last chapter there are several British schools presented including British International School of Zagreb. We are very honored that our school is included in this magnificent monograph. It was presented by authors and Craig Vye from St James's House. In a very spontaneous environment, the three of them told numerous anecdotes about Charles's life from his school days to the present day. They were joined by Kevin Gant - The Mirror Photographer and Ken Wharfe - Former personal protection officer to the Princess of Wales, Prince William and Prince Henry. Our Principal spent a pleasant afternoon talking to old acquaintances from previous promotions at Westminster Abbey, two and four years ago. The pictures show part of the atmosphere from that event.

British International School of Zagreb - THE COMMONWEALTH AT 75
The Commonwealth celebrates its 75th year in an era almost as fractious as that in which it was born 75 years ago. At that time, 1949, the London Declaration established the modern Commonwealth and lit a flame of fraternity and hope for a world seeking to move on from the horror of global war and conflict. Its 56 members span the five continents and three oceans, number more than a quarter of the world’s countries and comprise more than a third of humanity, with 70% of them younger than 30 years. The launch of the Commonwealth at 75 book was held on 9th October in the Cloisters of the Westminster Abbey. It has been researched and written by a select team of academics and award-winning authors and was presented by Lord Norton, History of Parliament Chair, together with a Royal bibliographer and Commonwealth Secretary-General. The links between Westminster and the Commonwealth have their origins in British imperial rule and this book charts how many Commonwealth countries adopted and adapted aspects of the Westminster model to suit their own political cultures. The book explores the development of parliamentary democracy across the Commonwealth, and it is a complex story which reveals divergence as well as commonality. The importance of education and the exchange of ideas have always been fundamental principles of the modern Commonwealth. It is also home to some of the finest education providers and experts in the world. We are very proud that our British International School of Zagreb was invited and presented on 2 pages in a chapter dedicated to Education and Culture. Among many well known universities and schools presented in the book there are only two outside the UK and the Commonwealth. Our BISZ is one of them. Our Principal, Martin-Tino Časl and Mrs. Zdenka Časl his loving and supporting wife were among the distinguished guests. In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, it was a nice opportunity to meet with old friends from previous occasions and make new friends for the future. You can also get a feeling of the atmosphere by browsing through the following photos.
