Our profile this week is Sarah Pickering, mother of Aiden in Year 9 and Conor in Year 11. The family are originally from the UK, and have attended BIS Abu Dhabi for 5 years.
What do you do in Abu Dhabi? I work in HR for a semi government organisation.
Tell us something that few people know about you: I used to work in the House of Commons for a year which was an amazing and insightful experience. I even laid the debating table. That’s my claim to fame.
What is your favourite thing about being a part of the BIS Abu Dhabi community? I have made loads of friends through BIS Abu Dhabi, which is often hard bearing in mind I work full time and don’t do the school run, but the BIS Abu Dhabi community enables friendships.
What tips or advice would you give to new families joining BIS Abu Dhabi? Use all social activities to meet new friends. Find out if your kids have friends in your community and meet the parents. Attend social events at school as well .

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.
