As part a collaborative learning program students in Year 7 were given the task of preparing a lesson for KS1 students.
Students were given a variety of different subjects to choose to be successful in their application of knowledge and understand of the content. This would allow them to begin to form links of HPL within other areas of the school, whilst developing leadership and teamwork skills.
Overall it was fantastic learning experience for all students involved.
Mental health is a vital part of our students’ overall well-being, yet it’s often overlooked or misunderstood. It's time to change that. Prioritising mental health can improve our lives in ways we might not even realise.
Why Mental Health is Important for You
Mental health affects how you think, feel, and act. It influences our relationships with friends and family, and it can impact our students’ schoolwork.
I was really touched by Áine’s newsletter piece last week, posing the question: ‘What would I tell my younger self?’
I spent some time afterwards thinking about my own parenting journey, and what it’s all been about, now that my two are adults and have ‘flown the nest’. Parenting isn’t easy for any of us, and that’s true even if you’re an experienced school leader – at home, I’m just Dad.
The British International School Abu Dhabi (BIS Abu Dhabi) was deeply honoured to welcome Her Highness Sheikha Shamma Bint Sultan Bin Khalifa Al Nahyan to its campus on Thursday, 17 April 2025. Her Highness, President & CEO of the UAE Independent Climate Change Accelerators (UICCA) and The Climate Tribe, is a distinguished entrepreneur, thought leader, and researcher with a deep commitment to sustainability, climate change, and gender equity.
You might have seen the trend going around - “If I could tell my younger self one thing…” - a moment to reflect, to offer advice we wish we’d heard earlier, or to remind ourselves of what truly matters.
As students prepare to cross some of the biggest milestones in school life, it feels like the perfect time to pause and join in that conversation. But it’s not just our students who are preparing — so are we, as parents. These milestones don’t just belong to them. We’re living every part of it too: the anticipation, the pride, the nerves, and the quiet hopes. Sometimes, it’s the hardest thing in the world — to watch them take these big steps, to stay strong when they wobble, to let go just a little more. It’s a milestone for us as much as it is for them — and we’re walking it together.
