I am from a beautiful and mountainous town called Draa El Mizan which is also a province in Northern Algeria (Kabylie). However, I have always lived by the coast of a region called Tipaza. It was part of the Roman Empire and is known for its ancient ruins and sandy shores.
I knew at an early age that I wanted to become a teacher; it has always been a dream of mine. After receiving my High Diploma in Teaching, I then went on to Glasgow University to obtain my Postgraduate Diploma in Education.
I worked as a teacher in different national and international schools in Abu Dhabi until one day I joined BIS Abu Dhabi, where I started as an assistant teacher in Key Stage Two. Working at BIS Abu Dhabi has been, without a doubt, the most unforgettable experience not only with students but also with all the other teachers and staff.
As I am fluent at speaking and writing in 3 languages, I have been fortunate to be a member of the Arabic Department for the last 3 years. As a Nursery and FS2 Arabic teacher, I devote all my energy to my lovely little ones; I simply cannot describe my happiness and joy when I watch the children developing the love of learning in a dynamic environment where each day is different.
In my free time I love cooking, I am constantly trying new Mediterranean recipes which I share with my three lovely sons who live abroad in Madrid and Paris. I am looking forward to when I can once again invite friends over to my home to spend a nice evening together with them. I also enjoy volunteering and recently I have been supporting Alliance Française of Abu Dhabi.
The penultimate week of term always brings a mix of energy and reflection. Lessons are still purposeful, but there is also a sense of looking back, recognising just how far our students have come.
This year, we have seen strong academic success across the school. Students have worked hard, and the outcomes reflect that effort. But just as important have been the achievements beyond the classroom in music, sport, language, technology, and the arts. Our curriculum is broad for a reason, and it has been clear this year that our students are thriving in many ways.
Celebrating Our Shared Success: A Year of Partnership and Recognition
As we approach the end of a vibrant academic year filled with events, achievements, and memorable moments, I am delighted to share some fantastic news with you all. 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.
Read on to discover how these awards celebrate our collaborative culture, highlight parent-school partnerships, and support meaningful improvements for our students.
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.
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.
