Over the coming months, the Secondary team are looking forward to getting to know the current Year 6 students as they navigate their way from Primary School to Year 7.
On Tuesday we hosted a Year 6 into 7 Progression Evening for parents. The event, led by Mr. Lowe and Mrs. Baker, provided further information about the Secondary School, and information included guidance about pastoral care, timetabling and expectations. A special thank you to our wonderful Year 7 helpers who spoke so eloquently and answered lots of questions about their experiences.
Following this evening, our Year 6 students will participate in our progression programme, which will take place over the coming months. We have several exciting workshops and activities planned, which will give our Year 6 students the chance to learn about the wonderful opportunities that will be offered to our Year 7 students next year.
The end of the year is a time for reflection and celebration, as well as an opportunity to look ahead.
During the last weeks, we have celebrated students at the Sports Award Assembly, welcomed fathers sharing time with students in the Early Years team, enjoyed end-of-term showcases across many year groups, attended IB presentations, participated in a Science Fair hosted by the Science CCA, and watched the Dance Production, BISAD’s Got Talent Show and the Music Open Mic event, to name but a few.
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.
Earlier in June, a group of our IB students jetted off to Iceland for an unforgettable adventure. Damian Toader from 12A shares his experience of this incredible trip, capturing the essence of Iceland's breathtaking landscapes and unique natural phenomena through his lens as the group's photographer.
