Ten schools from the Middle East participated in six sporting events over the three days. Friday included girls’ football and boys’ basketball. Saturday was swimming and athletics, and Sunday finished off with boys’ football and girls’ netball.
It was a fantastic event, helped by our amazing staff, students, and community groups who made sure all visiting schools and parents were welcomed with open arms.
We are extremely proud of our U11 BSME Squad who performed superbly throughout the intense but exciting atmosphere. Being cheered on by hundreds of spectators, our squad managed to win the boy’s athletics and finish second overall in athletics during the heat of Saturday afternoon.
It was the first major school competition for our athletes, and we hope that they have inspired other students to participate in regular exercise and start preparing for next year’s competition.
Well done to everyone involved.
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.
