On Your Marks… Get Set… Sports Day! We are delighted to announce the confirmed dates of our BIS Abu Dhabi Sports Week 2023.
The popular house event has been impacted in recent years due to COVID, however we are excited to confirm that the event is BACK!
Our students have been working hard in their PE lessons developing their fundamental skills of throwing, jumping, and running within the unit of Athletics. All in readiness to support their house in gaining valuable house points on the day.
We truly value the support of our parent community during these events in cheering on their children and their fellow classmates. We therefore extend an invite to all parents into school on the relevant days to support their children during their Sports Day events.

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.
