Empowering Student Leadership at BIS Abu Dhabi: A Week of Remarkable Initiatives

It has been an inspiring week at BIS Abu Dhabi as we witnessed our students taking the lead across various activities, showcasing their initiative and passion for learning.

Dear Parents,

We have the pleasure of inviting you to join your child at school to take part in our National Day Celebration on Wednesday, 29th November from 11:30am to 3:00pm. Parents are welcome to attend the performances, join in on the carnival-style activities and take a look around our UAE themed souq.

A song and dance

I went to a Flamenco show last week. It was quite extraordinary. Not quite up there with the Flamenco show I once saw in a rather grotty café in downtown Madrid around the corner from the Atocha train station, but still, truly excellent. The thrill of live action music and dance, the possibility of an error, the sound, the light, the tension throughout the theatre…..

Dear Parents,

It's been an action-packed week at our school, and I'm excited to share with you the highlights of our recent events and learning opportunities. Throughout the school, we've been dedicated to finding innovative ways to enhance the learning experience and ensure that we remain future-focused and compassionate in supporting one another. In this newsletter, we will provide a brief overview of the various activities and achievements that have shaped our week.

In July this year, 2 of our students attended the Nord Anglia Summit in New York. Rafaa in Year 12 and Arya in Year 13.

Rafaa and Arya were involved in many activities throughout the week, and had an opportunity to meet ambassadors and other students from around the world. Arya has reflected on her experiences and shared them with us here. Arya and Rafaa are now working closely with Mrs. Baker and Mrs. Brazier to look at ways to continue to raise the profile of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at BIS Abu Dhabi, as well as promote Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities.
