We’re seeing this across Primary as the children are truly ‘hitting the ground running’ in their new learning topics. As always, with our wonderful team of teachers, there are lots of exciting and motivating activities planned. I anticipate your children will come home full of news and eager to share their learning experiences with you. The interest you show in their school experience is absolutely vital to their success and achieving their potential. I am very appreciative of the engagement and involvement that BIS Abu Dhabi parents have with their children. It’s not something that can be taken for granted in other schools, so please keep up your fantastic work!
Last week, we enjoyed two fabulous events that highlighted the very best of our amazing youngsters.
Firstly, the Duathlon was a terrific success. Watching the students sprint, trot, or even collapse over the finish line was a testament to their spirit and resilience. I was delighted to see such a strong turnout and to be part of this joyful occasion. Congratulations to everyone who took part, and thank you to the staff members who organised it.
The second event was the ‘Principal’s Breakfast’ in The Hub, where students from across the Primary School were recognised for their positive presence in school. These children were selected either for their fantastic attitude to learning or for demonstrating our school values. Alan and I had a wonderful time chatting with them, getting to know them individually, and hearing about their experiences at school. It was truly a privilege to spend time with such lovely children, and I look forward to repeating this with others in the future.
As always, thank you for your support, encouragement, and warmth towards the school. I look forward to seeing you at the gates!

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.
At BIS Abu Dhabi, we believe that when families and schools team up, incredible things happen. We’re proud to have won the MENA School Excellence Award 2025 for Parent Partnership, but this award is about more than just recognition. It’s about the people, the conversations, and the community that make it all possible. Read on to discover how we’re making a difference together.
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.
