My name is Jacklyn Bausista Aledia, and I have worked at BIS Abu Dhabi as a Bus Monitor and Clinic Assistant for three years.
I was born in the capital of Manila Philippines in 1980. I love the colour purple and one of my favourite hobbies is cooking; I especially enjoy making Filipino dishes. I have two siblings, and I am also a proud and happy mother of three; two sons and one daughter.
I studied Computer Science before deciding to move to the UAE. When I first arrived, I worked in an office for five years, where my tasks included assisting with paperwork, cleaning, and making tea and coffee.
I went on to become a teaching assistant at another school for two years. I then joined BIS Abu Dhabi. I was thankful to have got the job, and being here has given me the opportunity to enhance my abilities and realise what I am capable of.
I am forever grateful for all the blessings I have been given, and being part of the BIS Abu Dhabi family is one of the biggest blessing that I have received.
There is this saying that I always believe; "Do everything with a good heart, expect nothing in return and you will never be disappointed..."

As we draw this academic year to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on what has been a truly remarkable journey for The British International School Abu Dhabi. This year has been defined by so much more than achievement, it has been a year of resilience, creativity, compassion, and bold ambition.
Read on to discover the unforgettable highlights, proud achievements, and inspiring moments that made this year at BIS Abu Dhabi truly remarkable.
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.
Celebrating Our Shared Success: A Year of Partnership and Recognition
As we approach the end of a vibrant academic year filled with events, achievements, and memorable moments, I am delighted to share some fantastic news with you all. Our school has been honoured with not one, but two prestigious awards in recognition of our commitment to parent engagement: the MENA Parent Partnership Award and the ADEK Best Parent Engagement Award.
Read on to discover how these awards celebrate our collaborative culture, highlight parent-school partnerships, and support meaningful improvements for our students.
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.
