Before delving into this week's highlights and news, I want to warmly welcome all our new pupils and families who have recently become part of our fantastic school community.

We understand that transitioning to a new school, and in some cases, a new country, can be a challenging experience. However, please rest assured that as a school and a community, we are here to support you every step of the way. Many of us have been in your position before and we are committed to making your time with us a positive and enriching experience.

Last weekend, our joint BIS Abu Dhabi and NAS Dubai Nord Anglia Education Rugby Team participated in Dubai 7s. This is the first time two Nord Anglia Education schools have come together to form a ‘representative’ team and we are incredibly proud of all the boys who were selected to represent the school and the Nord Anglia Education group on the pitch.

Before I start this week’s newsletter, I want to thank you all for the partnership and support you continue to show as we work together as a community to educate our children. I do hope you are able to enjoy some of the winter break as a family and have time together that is memorable for all the good reasons. Our children grow up so quickly and such moments matter to us; I wish you all the best over the break and look forward to your safe return in the new year.

On Thursday, 23^rd November BIS Abu Dhabi held an exciting Rubik's Cube Tournament, drawing in the talents of 13 students who showcased their impressive problem-solving skills and dexterity. The event was triggered by a Year 6 student's impressive Rubik's Cube solve during our BISAD's Got Talent, which ignited a spark of curiosity and determination among the school community.

The BSME (British Schools Middle East) Games is the highlight of the sporting calendar for any multi-sport athlete. At the beginning of the academic year students attend a rigorous trial to compete for a place within the squad. The PE Department selects 12 girls and 12 boys to represent the school in Football and Volleyball for the boys and Football and Netball for the girls. This year was extra exciting, due to the opportunity to travel to Kuwait.

The BIS Abu Dhabi Team would like to remind our community that our Term One CCA programme finishes on Friday 24^th November.

If your child is registered with an external provider, please contact the company leading their CCA to establish their finish date.

Dear Parents,

Nursery had an amazing time last week, diving into the magical world of Nursery Rhymes!
