Her day began with an early morning community workshop for parents of students in Year 3 and Year 4 explaining and delivering the Juilliard philosophy.
During Helen’s visit, she worked closely with the Year 3 and Year 4 classroom teachers offering professional development and sharing opportunities for creativity within the curriculum. Helen worked closely with the dance teachers observing both Year 1 and Year 2 dance lessons.
Later in the visit, Becka Vargus another Juilliard Dance Specialist joined Helen to deliver a choreography workshop to girls in Year 8. This workshop will form part of the programme to support students in creating their own dance for the annual dance show. It has been an inspirational visit allowing a number of teaching staff to understand and utilise the Juilliard Creative Classroom, an online performing arts resource for Nord Anglia schools.

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.
