A key aspect of schools today is a focus on supporting the overall development of every single student. This includes personal and social development in addition to academic development and can provide a wider range of opportunities than ever before.
At BIS Abu Dhabi, there are specific structures set up: our Service programme, the House system, various school trips, CCAs and Moral Education just to name a few. All these areas combine to help students benefit from a range of new experiences and also understand the role they can play in working with others and in making a difference to our local and global community.
I wanted to mention Service particularly in this article and specifically touch on the inspiring story of Greta Thunberg.
Just over a year ago, Greta wanted to do something to raise the issue of climate change and to influence others to work together to look after our planet. Originally it was just Greta who sat outside the Swedish parliament with a sign, yet in the last few weeks we have seen millions of people of all ages who are joining in to help raise awareness of this global issue.
Greta Thunberg is an exceptional case, but it does underline something that is very relevant for BIS Abu Dhabi students today. We believe that all our students can grow up to be positive members of society, and furthermore, we believe that making a difference to others does not have to wait until you are an adult. We create opportunities for all students to get involved with Service in one form or another - we know that this not only helps other people, it also makes a truly positive difference to each individual student too.

Earlier in June, a group of our IB students jetted off to Iceland for an unforgettable adventure. Damian Toader from 12A shares his experience of this incredible trip, capturing the essence of Iceland's breathtaking landscapes and unique natural phenomena through his lens as the group's photographer.
Dear Parents,
As we approach the end of this term and the academic year, we take great pride in celebrating the multitude of successes our children have achieved. This period has been filled with events showcasing the diverse talents and interests of our students here at BIS Abu Dhabi. From the creativity of our dance performances, our success at sports competitions to the incredible ongoing school trips, from the talent displayed at the BISAD’s Got Talent audition and our Open Mic sessions to the World Scholars Cup and the Quran reading, our calendar has been brimming with opportunities for our students to shine.
