Our profile this week is Sarah Pickering, mother of Aiden in Year 9 and Conor in Year 11. The family are originally from the UK, and have attended BIS Abu Dhabi for 5 years.
 
What do you do in Abu Dhabi? I work in HR for a semi government organisation. 
 
Tell us something that few people know about you:  I used to work in the House of Commons for a year which was an amazing and insightful experience. I even laid the debating table. That’s my claim to fame. 
 
What is your favourite thing about being a part of the BIS Abu Dhabi community? I have made loads of friends through BIS Abu Dhabi, which is often hard bearing in mind I work full time and don’t do the school run, but the BIS Abu Dhabi community enables friendships. 
 
What tips or advice would you give to new families joining BIS Abu Dhabi? Use all social activities to meet new friends. Find out if your kids have friends in your community and meet the parents. Attend social events at school as well .
