“Amazing!”
“Awesome!”
“Can’t wait for next year.”
and
“We got to walk around the school on our own.”
These were just a few of the comments I heard after the two fabulous transitions days our current Year 6 cohort just had.
On the first day the children were able to taste what secondary life would be like and conducted themselves in a mature way with nothing but praise from all the teachers they met. The English department arranged a very interesting and tasty lesson and during their Science lessons children were able to create and hold fireballs!
The fun continued on the second day where the children were able to spend a day with our Year 12 students, asking them questions about secondary life and creating a sustainability campaign which they are ready to roll out next year to all the children in the school. I have to admit I am not a great fan of rap music but even I had my head bopping to the ‘Oak Sustainably Rap song’.
Overall, two fantastic days which I hope was informative as well as fun to the children and I know for sure they will all be a great asset to the Secondary School next year.
The penultimate week of term always brings a mix of energy and reflection. Lessons are still purposeful, but there is also a sense of looking back, recognising just how far our students have come.
This year, we have seen strong academic success across the school. Students have worked hard, and the outcomes reflect that effort. But just as important have been the achievements beyond the classroom in music, sport, language, technology, and the arts. Our curriculum is broad for a reason, and it has been clear this year that our students are thriving in many ways.
The British International School Abu Dhabi, part of the Nord Anglia Education family, is proud to announce that three students have been selected to attend this year’s 2025 Nord Anglia Student Summit in Houston, Texas, a transformative leadership event focused on global citizenship, sustainability, and student-led innovation.
