Students took the opportunity to participate in a range of very challenging, physically engaging and fun activities with the guidance of North Star Outdoor Education experts. While they had some great fun, they also demonstrated some real leadership qualities, from caring for others to helping build rafts, to finding solutions together to solve any problems. It was heart-warming to hear students’ encouraging voices as they attempted some of the more challenging feats – and then hear cheers of joy as individuals overcame their fear and battled their way to the top of Jacob’s Ladder or the rock climbing wall. Along with the outdoor education learning, they experienced some invaluable team building that will go a long way to ensuring further harmony across the group. We commend them all for their behaviour and willingness to move outside their comfort zones.
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.
