Dear Parents,
We are delighted to share some exciting updates regarding our dining service and our approach to physical wellbeing. Our students have been an integral part of this transformation, providing us with valuable feedback, and we are excited to share the changes that have taken place.
In July this year, 2 of our students attended the Nord Anglia Summit in New York. Rafaa in Year 12 and Arya in Year 13.
Rafaa and Arya were involved in many activities throughout the week, and had an opportunity to meet ambassadors and other students from around the world. Arya has reflected on her experiences and shared them with us here. Arya and Rafaa are now working closely with Mrs. Baker and Mrs. Brazier to look at ways to continue to raise the profile of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at BIS Abu Dhabi, as well as promote Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities.
On Monday, 9th October, the school came alive with excitement for year 4’s very first Spelling Bee, a captivating event hosted by the dynamic Mr. East. Seven eager participants from each class stepped onto the stage.
The Secondary students in Year 7, 8 and 9 have been investigating some fascinating ideas in maths this week, including opportunities to discover patterns and real world applications of their maths.
Learning is hard
Learning isn’t easy. To go from a state of not knowing something, to knowing it, can be hard. Remembering that piece of knowledge long enough for it to become useful is even harder and piecing together bits of knowledge so that they become understanding…well that’s really hard.
We are thrilled to introduce BISAD BUDDIES, a dynamic Friendship Nurture Group designed exclusively for our Primary students.
Why BISAD BUDDIES?
Building Strong Friendships: Fostering healthy friendships is at the heart of BISAD BUDDIES. Our programme is tailored to help students form and maintain positive connections, creating a more vibrant and supportive school environment.
My name is Caleb Questel. I have relocated from the UK, and I am very excited to take on the role of School Counsellor here at BIS Abu Dhabi. I am an experienced Social Worker with specialist expertise in Learning Disabilities and Mental Health. Within social work, I have always championed the use of psychosocial interventions. I consider these to be a key component of counselling, as a means of bringing meaningful change in the lives of those I work with.
