At BIS Abu Dhabi, we are continually seeking to find new ways to help place wellbeing at the heart of everything we do. With this in mind, we have created a series of Remote Learning Resources to help support our students’ wellbeing, which will be published each half term.
These activities draw on new and existing resources to give your child a wide variety of options beyond the classroom, such as:
The PDFs of activities can be printed or used on a device, with clickable links and QR codes to make accessing online content easy. For Global Campus activities, students can only log in using their school email. If you need any support in accessing Global Campus, please contact your child’s class teacher or form tutor.
You can view the Ways to Wellbeing resource by clicking here, or download at the bottom of this article.
Please end any pictures or videos of you, or your families completing tasks to our Instagram page (@bis_ad), our Facebook page (@britishinternationalschoolabudhabi), or use the hashtag #bisabudhabiwellbeing.
In addition, we have several exciting key events coming up in the next few weeks that students can take part in school and online. On Kindness Day (Monday, 9th November), students are encouraged to wear yellow and on House Day (Wednesday, 18th November), students should wear their house colour. National day will also be celebrated at the end of November, and further information will follow.
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.
