World Kindness Day is a global celebration which promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to ourselves and to the world.
Our amazing students at BIS Abu Dhabi spread kindness everyday as it is one of our core values, but on Sunday they were spreading kindness even more so than usual.
Students and staff came into school wearing yellow, the colour of kindness, and were welcomed into school by music with a kindness theme.
Students began their morning with a brief history of Kindness Day, and Secondary students participated in interactive challenges to encourage discussion about what kindness looks like and how important being kind is to our overall wellbeing and happiness.
Decorations around the School marked the Kindness Day occasion, and Primary held a Winning Window Competition for the best Kindness-themed classroom windows created.
Students were encouraged to take part in random acts of kindness throughout the day via an interactive Kindness Wheel, which were situated in both the Primary and Secondary areas of school.
A Kindness Box allowed Primary students to share notes of gratitude to staff and fellow students, including ancillary staff such as the cleaners and security.
A Kindness Tree display in Secondary promoted ‘Kindness in Bloom’ for students to write messages on. It was not just the students who had all the fun of course - staff also had the opportunity to write Kindness notes to share their appreciation and gratitude to each other too!
“Because that’s what kindness is. It’s not doing something for someone else because they can’t, but because you can.” – Andrew Iskander
The British International School Abu Dhabi (BIS Abu Dhabi) was deeply honoured to welcome Her Highness Sheikha Shamma Bint Sultan Bin Khalifa Al Nahyan to its campus on Thursday, 17 April 2025. Her Highness, President & CEO of the UAE Independent Climate Change Accelerators (UICCA) and The Climate Tribe, is a distinguished entrepreneur, thought leader, and researcher with a deep commitment to sustainability, climate change, and gender equity.
At The British International School Abu Dhabi, we believe that education is not just about academic success—it’s about nurturing compassionate, responsible young people who understand the importance of giving back. This Ramadan, I have been truly moved by the way our students have embraced the spirit of the holy month, demonstrating kindness, generosity, and a genuine commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.
Inspired by the latest Nord Anglia INSIGHTS article exploring why the Early Years are the most important years of a child’s education, we know that a child’s most significant learning happens during this time - in ways that are not always immediately visible.
