Mr. Dunn led a Juilliard Creative Classroom workshop on ensemble skills, exploring ways to be inventive with music whilst having lots of fun rehearsing as a group.
See below some student testimonials:
Stuti (Year 7 plays the Piano) – “Working with Steve from the Juilliard school gave me the chance to experiment, explore and have fun with different ways of playing the music.”
Rayan (Year 7 plays the Trumpet) – “It was fun working with someone from Juilliard all together. It was also great to hear the trombone being played because I play the trumpet and it is part of the brass family.”
Aiza (Year 8 plays the Guitar) – “The workshop was very inclusive and interactive. It was a new experience for me – I have never done anything like this before!”
Sebastien (Year 12 plays the Clarinet) – “The workshop was an enlightening experience; it allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the finer details of the music we are rehearsing.”
Kylie (Year 8 plays the Trombone) – “The different ways we learned to articulate music when playing was really interesting and hearing Mr. Steve demonstrating on the trombone was great!”
Students studying the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme at The British International School Abu Dhabi once again performed significantly above the global average.
A total of 76 students at The British International School Abu Dhabi studied for IB exams this year. As well as achieving an outstanding pass rate, the students ’ average score was 33.4, exceeding the global average of 30.32.
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.
In 2014, Mrs. Lowe arrived to teach at the British International School Abu Dhabi, excited to work with the Physical Education Department (PE) 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.
