This week during form time, our Secondary students have been completing activities and having discussions based on International Women's Day. The theme for this year is Choose To Challenge.
A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we are all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day. We can choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women's achievement. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world. From challenge comes change.
Some of our Secondary students are pictured above in the 'choose to challenge' pose.
Inclusivity Club
The Inclusivity Club is a student-led initiative recognising and celebrating diversity, fostering a space where people feel safe to share their experiences and come together. The club produced a fantastic informational leaflet in honour of Women's Day:
BIS Abu Dhabi Female Staff Achievements
We are proud to share some of the wonderful achievements of our BIS Abu Dhabi female staff, please click here.
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.
As exam season unfolds, there's a special kind of stillness that settles over the school. In the quiet hum of the examination hall, behind the rustle of papers and the soft clicking of keyboards, is a profound truth: we are witnessing a moment that our students will carry with them forever. It is the culmination of years of learning, growth, and perseverance, a chapter closing and a new one ready to be written.
