About the business

 (PeopleBench x ISQ). Out of more than 3,000 staff surveyed across Queensland's independent schools, BiS stood out:

  • 100% of staff

    supportive, collaborative and warm

Our workplace culture is one of our greatest strengths, and Teacher Aides are a deeply valued part of that.
