To returning parents, welcome back and to all our new families, our heartfelt welcome to our school community and Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Every parent in school is automatically a member, so we are glad to welcome you on board.
The start of this year will be a much quieter for the PTA as sadly our much-enjoyed monthly coffee mornings, parent language classes, charity events, information talks and secondhand uniform sales are all currently on hold.
As soon as we are able to enjoy some of these activities again, we will of course let everyone know. We can still support each other and our children through our class rep roles mentioned in the brief summary below.
We welcome returning and new parents to contact us or your class teachers if you would like to help your child's class by supporting the teacher as the Class Rep, sending email reminders, connecting parents through Whatsapp groups, and generally being a face for parents to (virtually) seek out if they are unsure or need some support.
Primary Class Representatives (Reps)
Being connected in our community has become more difficult due to the current restrictions. We can ease this challenge and nurture our fantastic School Spirit by utilising our Class Rep roles. Please contact your class teacher to volunteer and support your child's class.
Secondary Year Representatives (Reps)We all know when our children reach Secondary School, they do not need to see us around as much, however, this does not mean we do not get to be involved in our school community. Parents can still make new connections, share experiences and advise. Year reps help to facilitate this, while liaising with the Head of Year to share updates and reminders when required. Please email us on [email protected] to volunteer.
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.
