Last Friday, students from Year 7 to 10 met with Mr. Threlfall (Head of Admissions), Ms. Carey and Mrs. Baker, to take part in our ‘Buddy Workshop’.
When students join British International School Abu Dhabi, they are assigned a 'buddy' who makes sure they have everything they need in the first few weeks of school.
During the session, we spoke about the role and responsibilities of a buddy and Kata from Year 13 shared her experiences of starting school three years ago and what having a buddy meant to her. We now have a team of trained buddies ready to welcome and support new members of our community!
We’re thrilled to announce that Nord Anglia Education is continuing its partnership with UNICEF for another three years! Since 2017, this unique collaboration has provided incredible opportunities for our students to engage in meaningful social impact initiatives that raise awareness of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), helping foster empathy, social advocacy, and global citizenship in all our classrooms.
Turkan, Tia, and Renad – our student Social Impact team – returned from Houston in June. The final part of their Houston experience was to provide feedback to the school’s senior leaders about what they had learnt during the UNICEF training and to propose their ideas for change.
EDIB stands for Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging. At The British International School Abu Dhabi, we are committed to giving our students an experience that is inclusive and representative of all nationalities, genders, abilities and religions. In essence EDIB is an extension of our school’s core values: Kindness, Honesty and Respect.
