On Wednesday, 3rd February, top mathematical students from Years 8 to 11 took on the UKMT (UK Mathematics Trust) Intermediate Mathematical Challenge. This is a world-renowned challenge, aimed at students up to Year 11.
Incredibly, we had two students from Year 8 already receiving an award! Junhyun and Jinhu achieved bronze awards. Several other students were also very close.
From Year 9, a remarkable ten students received an award, including two gold! Hyeonmin and Dongha performed above expectations by achieving their gold award. Dongha also qualified for the prestigious Cayley Olympiad through such an impressive high score!
Across Years 10 and 11, there were a further 50 awards achieved, including 10 gold and 17 silver awards, far exceeding last year’s results. Regular access to problem-solving tasks, and previous challenge content, is starting to show rewards. Additionally, the maths CCA based around building these key skills, is clearly allowing students to flourish.
Junha and Younes from Year 11 will be moving on to the prestigious Maclaurin Olympiad through their extremely strong performances.
The various Olympiads will take place for our three qualifying students on Thursday, 17th March.
In 2014 Mrs. Lowe arrived to teach at the British International School Abu Dhabi, excited to work with the Physical Education Department to implement and embed Dance within both the curriculum and the CCA programme. Schemes of work were created for FS1 to Year 9 and all PE teachers received professional development training to understand the fundamentals of Dance, to discover the importance of Dance and how movement can be creative and powerful.
Last week, Mrs. Stanier, our Head of Humanities, had the pleasure of accompanying three of our amazing students: Tia and Renad from Year 12, and Turkan from Year 10, to Houston, Texas, to take part in the NAE UNICEF summit. We were thrilled to be hosted by one of our Nord Anglia schools, The Village School in Houston, the first Child-Friendly City in the US recognised by UNICEF. The Village School is a boarding school, so the students got to experience what life was like as a boarding student there for the week.
