Welcome back. We hope that you have all had a brilliant summer and are ready for the next school year.
Is your child interested in learning an instrument?
Enrollment for instrumental music lessons at BIS Abu Dhabi is now open. Instrumental lessons will take the same format as last year, where pupils will leave their classrooms for 30 minutes to be taught by a specialist music teacher from the Juli Music Institute.
The Juli Music Institute offer Instrumental lessons on Woodwind, Strings, Brass, Percussion as well as Piano and Guitar. The instrumental lessons will work on a rotation system so that students are not missing the same lesson every week and timetables will be given to your child’s class teacher as well as sent home.
How to sign up
To sign up for instrumental lessons you will need to either:
All completed forms need to be given to Miss Rochell (kate.rochell@bisad.ae) by Thursday 3rd September or delivered directly to the Juli Music Institute, Al Bandar at Al Raha beach.
Cost
The cost for the instrumental lessons is 1200 AED for 10 lessons. All payments can be brought to the finance office here at BIS Abu Dhabi or again delivered to the Juli Music Institute at Al Bandar.
Any questions regarding instrumental music lessons please email kate.rochell@bisad.ae or feel free to come and see Miss Rochell in room 286.
It’s something I’ve believed for a long time — that learning isn’t predetermined by our genes. It’s about growing, persevering, and learning through the process. I was really mindful of this idea at this week’s wonderful Primary Summer Concert, after which I found myself reflecting on whether these amazing children have an innate talent, or whether they have achieved so much because of hard work and practice.
I believe it’s the latter. These children, their parents, and their teachers all seem to share the belief that by trying and working hard, they will get better at what they do. This is what we call a growth mindset.
This week at BIS Abu Dhabi, we have had the joy of celebrating both ends of the school journey and it has been a beautiful reminder of how we support our students to dream big and grow into their future selves.
As exam season unfolds, there's a special kind of stillness that settles over the school. In the quiet hum of the examination hall, behind the rustle of papers and the soft clicking of keyboards, is a profound truth: we are witnessing a moment that our students will carry with them forever. It is the culmination of years of learning, growth, and perseverance, a chapter closing and a new one ready to be written.
