The students from Years 9 and 10 were competing against 6 top performing schools. Over three events, the schools competed against each other by solving maths problems, all based around the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT) maths challenge that the top students from BIS Abu Dhabi compete in every year.
Successfully, BIS Abu Dhabi students thrived, finishing joint top at all three events, scoring an incredible 100% at each event! This led to a tiebreaker for the top two schools. Under time pressure, sadly BIS Abu Dhabi were pipped to the final solution and were left to settle for a very valiant second place overall.
The students really enjoyed travelling across to other schools, competing against other students, and solving the problems. More competitions are being planned for future terms!
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.
