An event we have missed for the last three years due to COVID. The event was for students from Year 1 – Year 11. Participants had to run, cycle and run. This was the biggest Duathlon so far with over 235 athletes crossing the finish line. The event was well supported by CAS and Secondary students, who volunteered their time to help lead the younger athletes on the running course and assisted in the bike zone. It was a super event with several students feeling happy with their achievements, especially for those who spent the winter break learning to ride a bike or improve their running technique.
Congratulations to all athletes who passed the finish line and received a medal and a ’Goody Bag’ filled with a T-Shirt, 15 house points, a juice carton, fruit, and an ice lolly. Special thanks to the Community Group for providing the juice, fruit and ice lolly.
Families then enjoyed getting together at the Welcome Back BBQ, thank you again to our wonderful Community Group for organising such a delightful event.
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.
