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 />

Shining Stars are what you are, illuminating the sky,<br />
And after all you have learned this year it is not surprising<br />
why.<br />
The fun and laughter we shared together every single day,<br />
You all played, sang and danced in your own amazing way.<br />
We became doctors, chefs, nurses, vets and even race car<br />
drivers;<br />
We saw fish, sharks and whales while exploring the sea as<br />
underwater divers.<br />
Remember all the laughter, love and friendships you all<br />
made,<br />
And all the memories you shared together in Whale class do<br />
not ever let them fade!<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 />

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 />

It’s been quite a year that we’ll never forget,<br />
Unprecedented times of Virtual Home Schooling was set.<br />
1XXXX<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 />
George won!<br />
So Year 2 is now over but let’s give a huge cheer,<br />

face every day. Even with the craziness of our virtual<br />
learning, you all showed how amazing and dedicated<br />
you are. It was an absolute pleasure to teach you this<br />
year and a shame we were not in the classroom for<br />
the year. Keep shining like the stars that you all are.<br />

How we laughed,<br />
And worked so hard<br />
With each redraft.<br />

certainly demonstrated resilience throughout the<br />

grow and achieve in Year 6.<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 />

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 />

Or come upon resistance,<br />
Nothing in the world can take,<br />
The place of pure persistence.

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 />

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

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 />

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 />

summer anywhere.”<br />

Then you’ll never have to wonder<br />
About what you could have done,<br />
If you’d summoned all your thunder.<br />
And if your best<br />
Was not as good<br />
As you hoped it would be,<br />
You still could say,<br />
“I gave today All that I had in me”.<br />
Congrats on a successful school year, 9A!<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 />

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 />

Over the past 3 years, I have come to associate 11B with<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 />

lastly, always remember, be brave, be kind, but be 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 />

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 />
