U16 Girls Football success!

For the past decade, The British International School Abu Dhabi has actively participated in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE), promoting personal growth, resilience, and community impact among our students. This year is particularly special as we celebrate our first cohort of Gold Award achievers. With the largest number of participants ever, the DofE International Award continues to be a vital part of our mission to create world-class learning experiences, nurturing empathetic, resilient, and talented individuals.

Life is full of questions - some small and simple, others profound and life-shaping. At BIS Abu Dhabi, we believe asking the right questions is key to growth, discovery, and future success. 

This term, our students have been reflecting on big questions: 
- What do I want to do when I’m older? 
- Where do I want to go to university? 
- What GCSEs should I study to help me achieve my goals? 
- Should I pursue a BTEC pathway or the IB Diploma Programme in Senior School? 

These are not easy questions, but it’s not about having all the answers now - it’s about being brave enough to ask them. 

In my experience, Term 2 is always a productive part of the year. By this point, relationships between adults, teachers, and students are well-established, routines and expectations are firmly in place, and the children have settled into their classes.
