We are back! The next event is a 5km Virtual Race, as part of the NAE Global Sports Competition. This event starts this Saturday, 17th October and finishes on Monday, 26th October.
The 2km participants were absolutely incredible and we want our team to get bigger and bigger!
What do we need to do?
Students and their families are invited to run, walk, skip, or jog 5km, record their time, and take a photograph of themselves, or even better, the whole family completing the distance!
For each competitor we record, the school gains a point, and the school with the most points wins a prize. The highest-ranking individual competitors will win individual medals.
What ages can compete?
There are different age categories to compete in, starting from 5 years of age. Please make sure students complete the run with an adult.
We are also continuing with our additional ‘adult’ category, allowing staff and parents to get involved!
When do we need to record the time by?
All entries must be completed by Monday, 26th October 2020.
I am not very fast; can I take part?
YES! This is all about our community coming together. Win, lose or draw it is the taking part that counts and we are so excited to be back together. Please get involved! Please share your photographs with us! Be ambitious. We are better together!
But Mr. Baker, its half term!
I know, and students deserve a huge rest because of the amazing effort they have all put into the school term so far... but after the 5km!
It would be great for students to get physically active and to stay away from those computer screens for as long as possible during this break.
We did it! Where do we record the time?

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.
