World Book Day is celebrated on Thursday, 4th March. To mark the occasion, we are inviting students in Primary and Years 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 to dress up in book-themed costumes on this day.
Your child may decide to dress up as a character from a book, a famous author, or even just a costume that reflects their favourite storybook genre.
If your child is virtual learning, we encourage you to share your child’s photos with our community using the hashtag: #bisadworldbookday
Throughout the day, students will be taking part in ‘Drop Everything and Read’ sessions, so we also ask that your child brings in a physical reading book or an E-book to read. You may wish to make use of Teen Book Cloud or Tumble Books to explore some options!
We have also been in contact with Kinokuyina bookstore, who are kindly offering 10% off books in their Galleria store for BIS Abu Dhabi students. To redeem this offer, you will need to present the voucher found here. Posters.ae are also generously offering BIS Abu families 10% discount with the code BISAD10.

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.
A few weeks ago, as part of our IB DP Language programme, Year 12 students in the French Ab Initio and French B classes united to celebrate Mardi Gras (Shrove Tuesday). Originally a catholic event welcoming the ritual fasting of Lent, Mardi Gras is celebrated in France with festive parades and sumptuous public celebrations.
At BIS Abu Dhabi, students came together to not only recognize the festivity but rejoice at the opportunity to share and learn about the international traditions fostered within our community. With the help of Monsieur Depose and Mademoiselle Merchadier, the French DP classes baked tasty treats, including crepes, waffles, brownies, and traditional beignets!
