On Friday 10th March, 20 students from Year 4 to Year 12 visited Yas Marina Circuit as part of their F1 in Schools Teams programme.
During the trip, they received a comprehensive presentation on the rules and regulations of F1 in Schools, saw a demonstration of manufacturing equipment, and were given an exclusive look at past portfolios and cars.
They also had an analysis session and tour of the circuit, which included a view of their race cars. In addition, the students were able to put their own designed race cars to the test on both the F1 in Schools track and in the wind tunnel.
This experience provided a valuable opportunity for the students to ask questions and get answers from experts and gain design inspiration for their own F1 in Schools cars, in preparation for the National Finals Competition in June.
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.
