From Cover to Cover – Safa’s Sensational Skills Year 12 Visual Arts student Safa was selected as a winner in a global Arts competition! Visual Arts students illustrating their way into your home and workplace!

You may recently have seen BIS Abu Dhabi’s first ever publication, our thrilling novel The City.

Perhaps you wondered who created that stunning etching of a vaguely familiar distorted city landscape with swooping migrating birds? We can thank Year 12 Visual Arts student Safa for that fantastic book illustration cover. However, that’s not the only thing we can thank her for…

Safa recently submitted another of her illustrations into a prestigious international competition. The Catalogue Cover Competition was run by 'Specialist – Arts Craft & Design', one of the most popular Arts materials suppliers for industry professionals and education suppliers, overseas, in the UAE and UK. This annual competition challenged students to create an artwork for their catalogue cover for the following year.

We are thrilled and immensely proud to announce that Safa was selected as one of the winners in this global competition! Her spectacular illustration of Abu Dhabi’s iconic Al Bahr Towers was selected as the Catalogue Cover winner for the UAE, and will be featured on all catalogues distributed in the region for 2021. Not only will Safa’s artwork be featured on the cover of next year’s catalogue, she also won herself and the school 1200AED worth of vouchers… thank you Safa!

Celebrating World Children's Day at BIS Abu Dhabi

On Wednesday, 20th November, our school community came together to celebrate and acknowledge World Children's Day, with this year’s theme on ‘The Future Changed Child’. The day began with a powerful moment of unity, as we gathered onto the school field to form a large "WCD" for a group photo, while our Primary School students sang *‘We Are the World’* under the direction of Miss. Keane on the piano and Mr. Quigley orchestrating away. This heartfelt performance highlighted the spirit of collaboration and hope for a brighter future for children everywhere.
