All organisations want to get better at what they do. Our school is a very fine one indeed and our community can be rightly proud of the education and environment in which our young charges are growing up. Families provide a caring environment for children at home, and our teachers teach wonderful lessons for students to learn from in school. As parents and teachers though, we should always take time to reflect on the impact we are having on the young people in our care, and we should strive to be a little better at what we do each day.
Within our school, our teachers encourage each other to learn new ways to teach children, to try new ideas in the classroom, to see if doing something a slightly different way might make it a little better for the students in the class. As teams of teachers, whether that be a year group in the Primary School or a subject team in the Secondary School, teachers work together to create plans for how their area of the school will improve and change over a period of time. Those changes are rarely revolutionary, generally teams are ‘tweaking’ existing practice a little to see if trying something new might make a significant difference.
Our students see this in their classrooms. They notice a teacher trying something different, offering new ways to learn, bringing something the students haven’t seen before into the lesson. And it’s a fine example for our young people. It isn’t anyone else’s responsibility to make us better at what we do, it is our own responsibility to look to improve in whatever field of work we choose, in our relationships and friendships, in our hobbies and pastimes. Being a ‘good example’ means many things. Trying to be better at what we do each day, is one of those things.

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 Award Assembly, 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.
