Year 7 Camp

Monday, 25th October was not your usual Monday morning if you were one of 126 Year 7 students at BIS Abu Dhabi. This Monday required you to arrive at school with a sleeping bag, a tent and a bag full of treats for your two-day adventure! It was the day the students had all been waiting for...Year 7 camp!

Some students brought huge cases and some travelled light, but all were buzzing with excitement. At 11.30am students packed away their pencil cases and embarked on their first activity. One group abseiled, others launched sponges at each other, some were brave enough to scale a fish (some even ate the fisheye!) whilst another group took part in team building.

Students took a brief break to watch a movie and eat some pizza and then carried on with the activities. Next, students set up camp, ate marshmallows around the campfire and sang some hilarious songs!

Then they tried to sleep...

The next morning, students woke to the sound of birds and packed away the camp. They ate breakfast together and then carried on with all the activities.

At 2.45pm on Tuesday our amazing Year 7 students were reunited with their parents who were inundated with wonderful tales of a brilliant experience.

The Year 7 camp created memories that will last forever.

A note from Head of Year 7 Mrs. Baker:

I am beyond proud of my Year group. What a special group they are! I had the opportunity to witness their kindness and generosity over the two days and it really was a joy to see. I loved how much they helped, supported and cheered on one another's success. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the teachers who supported the camp (especially those that slept on the field). I would also like to take the opportunity to thank you, the parents, for your support and kind words after the camp. We are a great team!

Message from the Deputy Head of Primary

The penultimate week of term always brings a mix of energy and reflection. Lessons are still purposeful, but there is also a sense of looking back, recognising just how far our students have come.

This year, we have seen strong academic success across the school. Students have worked hard, and the outcomes reflect that effort. But just as important have been the achievements beyond the classroom in music, sport, language, technology, and the arts. Our curriculum is broad for a reason, and it has been clear this year that our students are thriving in many ways.
