DP1 Core Week @GIS_Gems continued with #CAS with @HalladayMalin! We were delighted to have Mr. @JRafaelAngelM join us to fire @IB_DP student passions & have insightful conversations about limitless possibilities!

A memory to cherish. Iftar in Dubai with my final DP Cohort @GIS_Gems ! I will miss these guys incredibly!

What a fantastic day! Senior’s Day for @GIS_Gems Class of 2021! The highlight is always the Senior Walk to rapturous applause through the school community including KG, PYP, & MYP. A special day, for a special group of young people! #SeniorWalk

First morning back after the break. It was lovely to be greeted by this wonderful mural from our DP1 students for CAS, & gifted with some delicious 🇪🇬 treats! It’s great to be back!

That’s a wrap with the application for authorization for @ib_c_p for @GIS_Gems - months of collaboration, & MANY hours of hard work - thank you all! Thrilled that students at GIS will have access to this excellent career related pathway (subject to ✅ verification of course 🤞)

@RCunningham82 @ib_c_p @GIS_Gems @LHole81 Exciting news for our students! Thanks for all your hard work!

Such a great morning! Thanks to our ‘Student Life Committee’ we began a new @GIS_Gems tradition, our ‘Grade 12 Graduation Breakfast’! We whisked our #seniors off campus to the beautiful Sofitel Obelisk for a morning of indulgence! A day they’ll never forget! #Classof2021

The Grad caps & gowns have arrived... meaning the finish line for these wonderful young people is almost upon us. Always a bittersweet time. They’re the reason I go to school each day, & I am so proud of their achievements over the last few years. A fitting cohort to bow out with

Congratulations Rana! Rana also has some excellent offers from University College Roosevelt, University of Nottingham and De Montfort University. #wergis #GEMSeducation

An excellent week comes to a close here in Dubai. DP2 Mock exams ✅ & a successful DP1 Core Week! Feeling thankful for the students I am privileged to serve, the team around me who go above & beyond to support, & for my second Covid vaccination today! Have a great weekend folks!

@RCunningham82 @Adamroohistory @HalladayMalin Heavy week but a great one!

Such a great #DP Core Team, whom I’ll miss next year! DP1 students @GIS_Gems, we are collaboratively planning something especially for you... #watchthisspace @Adamroohistory @HalladayMalin

‘One of the greatest challenges for third-culture kids is that the concept of ‘home’ doesn’t mean the same to someone that has grown up outside of their native culture’ - great chat today with some of my DP students. What does ‘Home’ mean? Where is ‘Home’? gulfnews.com/opinion/op-eds…

This has been a great week with some fantastic university offers coming in for our @GIS_Gems students. #Pride #Unioffers

The global university offers keep rolling in for @GIS_Gems DP students! Immensely proud of these students, with Canada & The Netherlands representing strongly! #Unioffers

This is my why. It makes me happy seeing my students achieve their dreams. Super proud of Tanvi fulfilling a life long ambition to study Law @UniofOxford & Emirhan realising his aspirations to study Culinary Arts @ Ecole Ducasse! #GISUniOffers #DreamsComeTrue

Yesssss. This young lady told me a few years back that her goal was to study Medicine in Ireland. Today, she will accept an offer to study Medicine @ucddublin & follow her dreams! So proud @haniafouad_ UCD watch out, you’re getting a superstar! 💊🇮🇪📚

A very big well done to Tanvi Dhingra! We are proud to announce Tanvi has also received offers from Durham University, University College London, Queen Mary University of London and the University of Warwick #wergis #GEMSEducation

#IBDP1 students @GIS_Gems kick off ‘Core Week’. After a session about the TOK exhibition, we turn focus to CAS & how we can get the most out of CAS in Covid times - ‘What impact will you have had?’, ‘How have you grown as an individual & made a difference in the lives of others?’

Congratulations to Abdullah! He has also received offers from Brock and Ontario Tech University #wergis
