I absolutely love this term! It’s the perfect time to embrace the outdoors and enjoy a wide range of events and experiences, all while making the most of the ideal weather. This week alone, we’ve kicked off with our induction for new parents and students, the Duathlon and Community BBQ, and the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh expedition. Looking ahead, our students will take part in exciting sporting events like BSME and our own internal sports days. With trips, student leadership conferences, STEAM events, and so much more planned, this term promises to be truly unforgettable!
The term really is packed!
For our staff, this term is equally vibrant, with numerous opportunities for professional development that continue to enhance their teaching. They will have the chance to attend the Abu Dhabi Teaching Conference, which we are hosting, as well as the BSME Conference and the NA Teaching and Learning Conference, held at our sister school on Reem Island this year.
For parents, there are many workshops and opportunities to learn about how subjects are taught, how you can support your child, and to connect with others through our community group events and coffee mornings. We also look forward to the blessed time of Ramadan—a period for reflection, connection across our community, and celebration of the good in our lives.
It truly is shaping up to be a fantastic term ahead, and I am filled with joy and gratitude for the shared commitment to giving our best to ensure that each and every child has a rich and meaningful journey that adds value to their lives.
Happy New Year, everyone!

Our school has been honoured with not one, but two prestigious awards in recognition of our commitment to parent engagement: the MENA Parent Partnership Award and the ADEK Best Parent Engagement Award.

Our facilities provide the backdrop to – and inspiration behind – many of our students’ greatest achievements.
From our Creative Technology Zone and 524-seat auditorium to the Team Falcon Sports Academy, every space is designed to enrich learning and unlock endless possibilities.

It’s something I’ve believed for a long time — that learning isn’t predetermined by our genes. It’s about growing, persevering, and learning through the process. I was really mindful of this idea at this week’s wonderful Primary Summer Concert, after which I found myself reflecting on whether these amazing children have an innate talent, or whether they have achieved so much because of hard work and practice.
I believe it’s the latter. These children, their parents, and their teachers all seem to share the belief that by trying and working hard, they will get better at what they do. This is what we call a growth mindset.
On 22nd May, BIS Abu Dhabi proudly celebrated the graduation of our incredible Class of 2025. This special event brought together students, families, and staff to celebrate a milestone that was years in the making, one filled with dedication, friendships, and unforgettable memories.
The school auditorium was filled with pride and excitement as the ceremony unfolded. Read on to relive the highlights of this special day.
