Dear Parents,

I am thrilled to share the exciting events that unfolded at our school, starting with our school coming together this week to celebrate World Children's Day and House Day. The atmosphere was one of unity, inspiration and positive action, creating a memorable experience for all.

Nursery had an amazing time last week, diving into the magical world of Nursery Rhymes!

This week at BIS Abu Dhabi, we had the privilege of hosting Dr. Leslie Williams, the Senior Programme Lead for Social Impact and Giving at Nord Anglia, and the EDIB Global Equality Chairperson. Dr. Williams played a crucial role during her visit, engaging with both our students and staff in various impactful ways.

Not quite up there with the Flamenco show I once saw in a rather grotty café in downtown Madrid around the corner from the Atocha train station, but still, truly excellent.

Dear Parents,

It's been an action-packed week at our school, and I'm excited to share with you the highlights of our recent events and learning opportunities. Throughout the school, we've been dedicated to finding innovative ways to enhance the learning experience and ensure that we remain future-focused and compassionate in supporting one another. In this newsletter, we will provide a brief overview of the various activities and achievements that have shaped our week.

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.
