I highlight this because of our commitment to world class learning experiences. Learning experiences come in many forms, indeed if you read our previous newsletters, you will notice the trips, community events, theme days, sports events and performances, all of these create deep enriching learning experiences. This is one of the strengths of our school, we are constantly reviewing and adapting, looking at new ways to deepen our children’s learning and understanding.
This includes our classroom, we must never lose sight of that day-to-day practice and constantly reflect, review and adapt to suit the learners in front of us. What we do above and beyond cannot distract from our day-to-day practice, each teacher has a chance to shape lives and cannot waste the opportunity to grow young people's hearts and minds, through exciting, innovative and creative learning.
We are committed to ensuring our young people receive the best, and next academic year our focus is going to be on ensuring our practice in the classrooms is ‘World-class’, and that moments that are shared between students and staff help to recognise each child for their unique talents and empower them to use their individual gifts.
Over the next few weeks, we will be inviting parents to year group meetings where the leadership team will be highlighting the aims for our short, mid and long-term future. We will also be able to share with you the exciting initiatives and building projects that will support us to achieve our vision and mission statements.
One of the direct outcomes from ‘world-class’ learning are the excellent academic outcomes for students. This term, our Year 11 and Year 13 students will be starting their exams in GCSE and IB, this is a stressful time for our most senior students, and we wish them all the best in their journey.
In closing I wanted to share an update on the auditorium. The space is nearly complete, and our young people will soon be performing in this spectacular space.
Have a great weekend.
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.
