Welcome to the <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> <strong>Yearbook</strong> for the<br />

British International School Abu Dhabi<br />

<strong>Yearbook</strong>s are wonderful keepsakes. They collect all<br />

our memories in one place so we can look back in<br />

the future to recall challenges and successes and the<br />

friends and colleagues we shared them with. Many of<br />

us will have yearbooks from the past and it is always<br />

a joy to look through them and think back to each<br />

particular year.<br />

Bearing the above in mind, a little context is important<br />

for those who may be reading this in the future! The<br />

year <strong><strong>20</strong>19</strong>-<strong>20</strong> started as normal, but following the<br />

arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic the school buildings<br />

were closed and students undertook remote learning<br />

for all of Term 3. Thus we look back on a year which<br />

had two very distinct parts to it.<br />

Despite the changing situation, the school year at BIS<br />

Abu Dhabi showed students excelling and thriving<br />

just as they always have done. From outstanding<br />

academic achievement through to participation in<br />

extra-curricular activities and trips, students continued<br />

to benefit from all that was on offer.<br />

What we also see through these pages is the incredible<br />

sense of community in the school; students, staff and<br />

parents working closely together to ensure the best<br />

possible educational experiences for everyone.<br />

This community aspect is something very special<br />

with regard to personal development. From everyday<br />

collaborations through to the specific features of the<br />

Service programme, we see students helping each<br />

other and also helping people beyond the school. Our<br />

students are already making the world a better place<br />

and no doubt will continue to do so as they grow older.<br />

So to all readers, whether in <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> or beyond, please<br />

enjoy these pages and the snapshot of life that they<br />

bring. “You are only young once” as the saying goes –<br />

the students of BIS Abu Dhabi are certainly making the<br />

very most of being young and gaining everything they<br />

can from their school.<br />

My little Jellyfish what a fantastic year it’s been. We have<br />

laughed, cried and shared some wonderful experiences.<br />

We made new friends, conquered our fears and had lots of<br />

fun along the way.<br />

It has been an absolute pleasure to teach each and every<br />

one of you, and I’m so proud of how far you have all come.<br />

From your first day to the last, your enthusiasm, energy<br />

and smiles have been infectious. I can’t wait to see the<br />

amazing things you are going to achieve as you continue<br />

your learning journeys.<br />

1A, where do I begin? I feel like we just got started<br />

and then before I knew it, the year was over. I am so<br />

proud of each of you and feel privileged to have been<br />

part of your journey this year. Watching you grow<br />

and learn new things each day has been wonderful,<br />

but nothing will beat the silliness we had in our<br />

classroom every day (snacky-wacky and lunchywunchy<br />

have been particular favourites of mine)!<br />

You are a FANTASTIC bunch of children with bright<br />

futures ahead of you. Term 3 certainly wasn’t easy<br />

but I was so proud to see you trying your best with<br />

your learning at home. Keep it up next year, try your<br />

best and you will go a long way!<br />

This year has been very different for us all,<br />

But how fast the weeks did go,<br />

As I’ve watched you continue to learn and grow.<br />

But now the time has come,<br />

For you to spread your wings and go.<br />

So hold your head up proudly,<br />

I know that you’ll go far.<br />

The one thing that I hope you remember,<br />

Is to know that you are all special,<br />

Special because you are YOU!<br />

You’ll all be shining beacons,<br />

Just being who you are.<br />

2A, you have been an incredible class and I want you<br />

all to know just how much I loved being your teacher.<br />

It was an honour to teach such amazing, adventurous<br />

and ambitious children this year and I will miss you all<br />

so much. Thank you for a wonderful year!<br />

MRS. COCKER<br />

You are all very special children,<br />

And you really need to know,<br />

How I loved being your teacher,<br />

And how fast the year did go.<br />

You arrived in September,<br />

All quiet and so small,<br />

We were separated in March,<br />

Except for our daily conference call.<br />

You stepped up to the challenge,<br />

You didn’t just give up,<br />

You made me proud every day.<br />

When all your fantastic posts popped up!<br />

Without you keeping me busy,<br />

Smiling at me every day,<br />

The time would have gone so slowly.<br />

And my days would be so grey.<br />

You have lit up my days,<br />

Shown me how great you kids are,<br />

Reminded me why I love to teach.<br />

Even though it’s from afar,<br />

You have grown up in front of me,<br />

Your little teeth have fallen out,<br />

You are confident and chatty,<br />

My little class, I would not be without.<br />

I am sad that our time was cut short,<br />

In this crazy year we’ve had,<br />

You’ll always hold a special place,<br />

In my heart and in my head.<br />

I know you have to leave me,<br />

The time has come too fast,<br />

I will be here if you need me,<br />

My memories of you will last.<br />

Please come back to visit me.<br />

As through the grades you grow,<br />

Try hard to learn all you can,<br />

There is so much still to know.<br />

One thing I tried to teach you,<br />

To last your whole life through,<br />

Is to know that you are special,<br />

Just because you are you!<br />

Unprecedented times of Virtual Home Schooling was set.<br />

But before it began, what a time we had had,<br />

We’d had many adventures and we were so glad.<br />

We had learnt about penguins and polar bears too, Then<br />

off to Africa next and we went to the zoo.<br />

Our class assembly was great, full of laughter and fun,<br />

Then along came Roald Dahl and thank goodness<br />

would be the best at their Maths,<br />

winning competitions like a pro,<br />

excelling in getting points for dojo.<br />

And then our time was cut short,<br />

How we laughed,<br />

And worked so hard<br />

With each redraft.<br />

certainly demonstrated resilience throughout the<br />

6A, what a talented class you are! From beginning<br />

the year as conservationists protecting the<br />

rainforest; becoming surgeons dissecting hearts;<br />

architects designing cities and explorers venturing to<br />

Antarctica, you certainly have developed a myriad of<br />

skills over the year.<br />

Each of you should be incredibly proud of your<br />

progress and achievements in Year Six. You<br />

have all demonstrated resilience, perseverance,<br />

thoughtfulness and curiosity. Cherish these qualities<br />

and build on them as you progress to Year Seven,<br />

where I am sure you will accomplish great success.<br />

Be confident and make the most of all opportunities<br />

that come your way. Remember, mistakes are<br />

powerful and proof that you are trying; mistakes<br />

have the power to turn you into something better<br />

than you were before. Don’t be afraid to make a<br />

mistake, just make sure you learn from it.<br />

And all the lessons learned,<br />

Enjoy the next adventure guys,<br />

And take pride in all you’ve earned.<br />

Some advice to you all as you prepare,<br />

For the next phase in your learning,<br />

Don’t worry if you get it wrong,<br />

The world will keep on turning.<br />

Try your best and take your time,<br />

Try and learn from your mistakes,<br />

We all work at different speeds,<br />

I know you’ve got what it takes.<br />

And when you’re met with adversity,<br />

Or come upon resistance,<br />

Nothing in the world can take,<br />

The place of pure persistence.

to accomplished, young people, ready to meet the<br />

challenges that face you in the future. We welcomed<br />

two new students this year - Miguel and Minwoo - who<br />

have complemented our group nicely. Sadly, we waved<br />

goodbye to Gabriella as she left our shores in December<br />

and daunting, moving up to Year 7 is a big step, yet every<br />

day you came with smiles on your faces and bursting<br />

with positive energy. We celebrated so many events this<br />

year, National and International Day, Sports and House<br />

Day and camping under the stars on the sports field to<br />

name just a few! We also welcomed Faris, Yohannes and<br />

Jumana at various stages throughout the year and I’m<br />

sure they would agree that you all welcomed them with<br />

open arms and it didn’t take long before they were part of<br />

unusual and at times lonely, but I am so proud at the way<br />

you have conducted yourselves online and engaged with<br />

If by Rudyard Kipling<br />

If you can keep your head when all about you<br />

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;<br />

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,<br />

But make allowance for their doubting too:<br />

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,<br />

Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,<br />

Or being hated don’t give way to hating,<br />

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;<br />

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;<br />

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,<br />

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster<br />

And treat those two impostors just the same:.<br />

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken<br />

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,<br />

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,<br />

And stoop and build’em up with worn-out tools;<br />

Thank you for another brilliant year, 8C. I enjoyed<br />

every day. You are all destined for great things, keep<br />

working hard and take the disappointments that<br />

come your way well and you will exceed expectations<br />

in school and in life.<br />

Achieve some<br />

perfection yourself, so<br />

that you may not fall<br />

into sorrow by seeing<br />

the perfection in<br />

others. - Rumi.<br />

If you can make one heap of all your winnings<br />

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew<br />

To serve your turn long after they are gone,<br />

And so hold on when there is nothing in you<br />

Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”<br />

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,<br />

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,<br />

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,<br />

If all men count with you, but none too much:<br />

If you fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth<br />

of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in<br />

it, And - which is more - you’ll be a Man, my son!

your enthusiasm and your positive energy always put a<br />

smile on my face. We shared great memories together<br />

celebrating Kindness Day, House Day and we had fun<br />

dancing our hearts out to songs at our winter break<br />

party.<br />

I am so proud of how independent and mature you were<br />

when we made our transition to virtual learning and I<br />

love our tradition of sending the penguin emoji to help<br />

lift our spirits during our online registrations. You are a<br />

special group of young people who show great kindness<br />

and compassion to each other. I know you are all missing<br />

your school life and friends, but remember that this<br />

situation isn’t forever and we will be back to our great<br />

from an Irish poet Seamus Heaney that will help us look<br />

forward to the future “if we winter this one out, we can<br />

summer anywhere.”<br />

all shown throughout your learning journey. Thank you for<br />

another memorable year, full of adventures, good times,<br />

It’s been an interesting year to say the least, but whilst<br />

undoubtedly a challenge, I think every student in 9C<br />

has learnt something about themselves. You have<br />

learnt that no matter what life throws at you, if you are<br />

willing to adapt, stay positive and continue to work<br />

hard then you can achieve amazing things. This year<br />

has prepared you well for the start of your GCSE’s next<br />

year and no matter what happens in the next 2 years<br />

you will be successful.<br />

Since the beginning of this academic year, 9D have<br />

brought joy and laughter to form time every day,<br />

including the times when we met online and could not<br />

be in the same room! You have been a delight to spend<br />

the school mornings with, each with your own unique<br />

personalities and all being highly valued members of<br />

our school community. As you now look ahead to the<br />

next stage in your school life, I know you will continue<br />

to bring positivity and determination to all that you do<br />

and I look forward to seeing you thrive in Year 10.<br />

Dear Year 9, Our third year together! It continues to<br />

be a privilege to watch you grow into the adults you<br />

are.<br />

What a memory this will all be when we leave and<br />

think back to BIS Abu Dhabi. We have learnt so much<br />

about ourselves and our community and the things<br />

we can achieve when we pull together.<br />

As we move to next year, never forget to keep<br />

learning and looking for opportunities to challenge<br />

yourselves and go beyond your comfort zones.<br />

I hope for nothing but the best for each of you and<br />

your families. See you next year, Mrs. Grange.<br />

Thank you for being a fantastic tutor group 10A.<br />

This year has been full of ups and downs but<br />

each and everyone of you has demonstrated<br />

determination, flexibility and most importantly<br />

kindness and empathy in overcoming every<br />

challenge you have faced.<br />

I have no doubt you are going to continue to<br />

succeed as you complete the final steps to your<br />

GCSE’s. Keep going and keep smiling on your way.<br />

Well done 10B for completing another academic<br />

year which by far has probably been one of the most<br />

challenging. I can not put in words how proud I am of<br />

you all, especially with the situation where you have<br />

had to work at home. The quality of work and effort<br />

from each and every one of you has been second to<br />

none since the beginning of the year.<br />

I feel lucky having so many students in my form who<br />

brighten up my day and I am so proud to receive the<br />

many positive emails from your subject teachers<br />

regarding all the great work being completed by you all<br />

and the kindness you show to your peers.<br />

Keep this up 10B and I am sure you all will be more<br />

than ready to face GCSE exams in a years time!<br />

Hi Folks,<br />

Well done on completing this most unusual of academic<br />

years - who would have guessed what dramatic changes<br />

would be upon us so shortly after this class photo was<br />

taken. Actually, virtual learning has given each of you a<br />

great opportunity to become independent learners for an<br />

extended period of time; and this experience should serve<br />

you well in your further education - particularly when<br />

you go to university. Have a great break, recharge your<br />

batteries and be ready to go again in Year 11, when normal<br />

service will resume - inshallah.<br />

a sense of resilience, bravery and determination. This<br />

is a unique group of students that has taken Mandela’s<br />

ourselves or to learn something new’. With that attitude,<br />

each day, each passing moment is enriching and<br />

fulfilling.<br />

11C, ‘you are one of a kind’, you fill a classroom with<br />

a unique energetic high-spirited atmosphere. Your<br />

diverse personalities have meant that you have been<br />

able to learn and grow from each other and each of<br />

you have embraced this opportunity. Form times<br />

have always been an opportunity to communicate<br />

openly and reflect on each other’s viewpoints during<br />

discussions. All of you have demonstrated a mature<br />

open-mindedness to each other during these times.<br />

Your ability to work together, supporting one another<br />

has created a thriving environment for all you to learn<br />

in form time as well as in your lessons. I am impressed<br />

by how effectively you have managed to engage with<br />

each other as friends and form members. Academically,<br />

you have all wanted to achieve your best this year<br />

and have worked extremely hard. I am proud of your<br />

motivation, focus and achievements. It has been a<br />

pleasure having each of you as a student in my form<br />

class. I wish you all the best with your future goals and<br />

lastly, always remember, be brave, be kind, but be you!<br />

friendly, sociable and supportive you have all been to one<br />

another and to me. You have definitely made my first year<br />

at BIS Abu Dhabi very enjoyable.<br />

For those of you remaining at BIS Abu Dhabi, I look<br />

forward to watching you continue to grow. To those of you<br />

venturing to pastures new, and moving to new countries,<br />

I wish you all the very best of luck with whatever road you<br />

Form class 12A, it has been an absolute pleasure being<br />

your Form Tutor this year. Being a new teacher in a new<br />

country however experienced you may be, is still a nerve<br />

racking experience! But you made me feel welcome from<br />

day one, and that I will be forever grateful for. It’s been<br />

great seeing you grow, learn and mature into individuals<br />

that I know your parents are very proud of. So it’s for me<br />

to thank you. To you, young gents, keep wearing those<br />

suits with pride and young ladies, continue to form those<br />

bonds that I so admire from afar, during form time.<br />

Very much looking forward to conversing with you all<br />

next year.<br />

have the strength and determination to take on any<br />

challenges that come your way in the next 12 months.<br />

Congratulations, you did it! You have been the most<br />

amazing form group I have ever had the privilege of<br />

working with.<br />

Advice for those of you going to university next year:<br />

1) Never buy anything from the campus bookshop... you<br />

will find it cheaper online!<br />

2) Say “yes” to everything in your first semester - it will help<br />

you to make new friends.<br />

3) Put effort into staying in touch with your friends and<br />

family wherever you call ‘home’, they will always be there<br />

for you.<br />

Wishing you all the best for university and beyond. Keep<br />

shining and keep us updated with all the fantastic things<br />

you are destined to do.<br />

Finally, try to be on time to your lectures next year!<br />

When I think of 13C, what comes to mind?<br />

Too many things but namely: Missed deadlines! CAS,<br />

EE, TOK,...each worthy of their own individual saga.<br />

Clearing you out of the IB Academy because you were<br />

late to a lesson.<br />

Or maybe sending you there to do something<br />

productive, having a coffee and a chat in the Hub,<br />

celebrating that all important jump to the next grade<br />

level, or consoling you on a disappointing result.<br />

Hearing of extracurricular successes, reveling in your<br />

exciting university offers and future plans, or simply<br />

just having a chat and a quiz in 372 , while listening to<br />

my fabulous taste in music; I don’t think my mornings<br />

will ever be the same.<br />

You each brought a smile to my face with your<br />

anecdotes and jokes everyday and I will miss seeing<br />

you.<br />

Thank you 13C for the last two years I wish you all every<br />

success in the future and hopefully our paths will cross<br />

again in the years to come. Make good choices!!<br />
