International Day was a huge success last week, as members of our community celebrated with traditional dress, wearing the colours of their national flag, participating in traditional games, an international family quiz, and the re-creation of some traditional cooked food.
Our IB Diplomma Programme students would like to keep the momentum of the Virtual International Day alive, through the power of cooking.
A new project will be run by five Year 12 CAS students, with CAS standing for Creativity, Activity and Service.
The CAS students would like to learn about different types of food within our community. The student-led project is called ‘Culture in a Cookbook’. The group of inspiring CAS leaders would like members of the BIS community to share recipes from their home country to collate into one large cookbook.
Email your favourite family dish to [email protected] by Wednesday, 31st March. The CAS group will respond to your recipe with a follow up form to gather additional information that can support the Cookbook.
CAS is one of the three Core subjects students complete as part of the IB Diploma Programme. A CAS portfolio should demonstrate :
The CAS International Cookbook Team look forward to receiving your recipes!
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.
