This was not so much about presenting curriculum content to them; rather an opportunity to give students a taste of the IB Diploma Programme at BIS Abu Dhabi and an understanding of the skills and learning styles that are fundamental to an IB education.
Students worked collaboratively on activities based around the six subject groups: Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Science, Mathematics, and the Arts. The day involved scientific investigative work, learning the basics of sign language, data analysis and lively discussions surrounding the portrayal of women in advertising. The focus shifted to the Core on Day 2, with students experiencing their first ever Theory of Knowledge lesson and taking part in a carousel of short sessions to learn about CAS, the Extended Essay and university research, culminating in a Q&A session with current and former IB Diploma students.
To round off events and mark the end of Year 11 and iGCSE’s, all students were treated to a bowling trip and pizza in the IB Academy. Students were engaged throughout, and staff are already looking forward to working with this year group in the Senior School next year.
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.
