Their learning has not been refined to the classroom, with our SEHS students having opportunities to enrich their understanding and apply their work independently in both a lab and field based practical settings.
Firstly, the students gained an appreciation for the relevant anatomical systems by participating in a chicken wing dissection. Exploration into the role and structures of the relevant bones, joints, muscles, and other connective tissues, was the key focus in this lab based investigation. Naturally, links to Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences were made as well as discussions and tasks completed to consolidate prior learning.
Secondly, students were exposed to more applied work in the form of a field based practical investigation. In particular, students were seeking out to explore the research question “To what extent does joint interaction improve overhead throwing performance”. What added to their practical experience was their requirement to take on both researcher and participant role. Therefore, providing a learning opportunity for the students with regards to the appreciation of study reliability and validity.
Both experiences provided an amazing learning opportunity in readiness for their Internal Assessment later next year where they will be applying this independently.
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.
