@craigcantlie @NishimachiOfcl Congratulations Craig!!

Happy to share I will be the new Principal at Nishimachi International School, a K-9 school in the heart of Tokyo beginning in August. Nishimachi has an excellent reputation & proud school community and we look forward to being part of the next chapter in the school's history!

I have been greatly enjoying my gap year while spending some time subbing in the local school board in my home town. Spending time with family and friends truly is the most important thing in life. Happy holidays everyone!

Finished my last day at GEMS GAA today. What an exceptional group of teachers and staff. I will definitely miss the UAE and all it has given us over the past 11 years. So many memories and friends made along the way. Looking forward to the next adventure! @MsNiamhEDU @GaaGems

A huge shoutout to Mr. Joyce and the Middle School Choir for their rendition of “Home” by Phillip Phillips. @GaaGems @GEMS_ME Give these students a contract!

We are once again Distance Learning here in Abu Dhabi, but our teachers are prepared and students are eager and engaged with their peers in their live lessons. We have learned so much about student wellbeing and successful teaching during Covid. We persevere! @GaaGems

@dbackes42 @SEGA SNES is better!

Pulled the @SEGA and #SNES out to entertain the kids for a bit. Made me sad that NHL ‘95 was ever a $.49 sale. #lowHRR #blowinit #SNESIsBetter

@YvetteCuencoSC @GaaGems You are missed here @YvetteCuencoSC !

@MrScottMacD @GaaGems Fantastic to see the National Day celebrations return!

Congrats to 50 years UAE at @GaaGems ! It was a very special day had by all!

A student dropped off a gift of cotton candy on my desk this morning. Not the healthiest choice, and he must of snuck it through security in his bag, but it is greatly appreciated! Happy Thursday to everyone! @GaaGems

Middle School staff discussing wellness Wednesday check ins with our students. With over 90% of MS students back on campus, our priority is student wellbeing. Great work by our Heads of Grades leading the way. @GaaGems

Head of Department meeting discussing how students can track their own learning. Sundays feel so much more productive after meeting with this great group of leaders. @GaaGems

Mr. Coulter, our Grade 8 PE teacher and Head of Department, just couldn’t resist showing his students how to properly do a push up. A real life exemplar! @GaaGems

Well said Ted!

I absolutely love this! Talking about gathering data to support students’ well-being. So many ways to learn more about our students. Thank you @MsZahraB! @GaaGems

New staff in the building! Some icebreakers, food and digging in to Standards Based Learning. I’d say that’s enough for today. Positive vibes and great energy! Congrats and welcome to @GaaGems !

Supporting #BellLetsTalk Mental health awareness.

@craigcantlie No way! That question is laughable!

@MrScottMacD this is a question for you...
