Congratulations to two of our Year 10 students who have been awarded a Headteacher's Commendation Award for achieving incredible results in the UKMT Maths Olympiad challenge and the Hamilton Olympiad paper.
Both students took part in the UKMT Intermediate Maths Challenge, which is an hour paper with 26 questions, with a requirement to achieve more than 100 out of 135 marks. Dongha scored an impressive 123 marks and Hyeonmin scored a remarkable 112 marks. Both students qualified for the Hamilton Olympiad paper, which is a prestigious two-hour paper with 6 questions, 10 marks per question. Only the top 1500 students in the world are put forward for this. Dongha scored an exceptional 41 out of 60, and Hyeonmin scored a fantastic 33 marks out of 60. UKMT have awarded Dongha a Bronze medal (with Distinction) and have placed him within the top 100 in the world, while Hyeonmin achieved a Merit.
Amazing performance by both students!
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.
