We draw to the end of another term at BIS Abu Dhabi. In some ways the most challenging of times in many of our lives, but also a time when we can be extremely proud of what we have achieved as a community.
In particular, we should be extremely proud of the students who attend the school. Their ability to react to changes and the way we have to operate has been a lesson to all of us. They understand what is required to stay safe (even the younger ones) and they take this in their stride while staying strongly committed to their learning.
To all our parents – please be proud too of everything you have done to support your children’s education. Whether students have been working at home or in school we know things are not as simple as they used to be. Students still arrive prepared for the day and with full support from home for their activities and all aspects of their education.
There is great pride in the work and efforts of the BIS Abu Dhabi staff for their efforts this term, and I am sure parents will join me in extending congratulations to them. Teachers have to teach online and face-to-face at the same time, plus non-classroom staff have so many more responsibilities to keep the school running so smoothly. It has been a big challenge and the way the staff have performed has been admirable.
So we end the term looking back positively at achievements and we look forward even more positively. For next term I am excited to say that we are able to extend the education even more – please see the separate letter sent out today for more details.
Finally, may I wish all our community a safe and happy holiday ahead. We all work together to support the children and they are in very good hands at home and at school. I trust you and they will enjoy a relaxing and peaceful time and we look forward to seeing everyone again in January.

The end of the year is a time for reflection and celebration, as well as an opportunity to look ahead.
During the last weeks, we have celebrated students at the Sports Awards Assemblies, welcomed fathers sharing time with students in the Early Years team, enjoyed end-of-term showcases across many year groups, attended IB presentations, participated in a Science Fair hosted by the Science CCA, and watched the Dance Production, BISAD’s Got Talent Show, and the Music Open Mic event, to name but a few.
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.
