It’s Graduation Day for our Grade 12s.

I’m at an away fixture of our under 13 cricket team. What a team spirit! Great students and they all love the game. ‘I always breathe cricket’ - Kapil Dev

All exams completed today at UIS. A huge thanks to our school community and Mr Duckett in particular. I was impressed by the composure of our students. Another hurdle crossed for the class of 2024. Let’s go again..

Our Grade 12 exams go ahead today as planned. I have arrived on site and the school is in good shape. Safety is of paramount importance, so do not travel if it is too dangerous. Wishing all our students the best of luck today.

DP exams at UIS will take place as originally planned tomorrow. The school will be closed to all other students and live lessons will operate online. Grade 12 parents have received an email directly with more information.

Unfortunately, UIS will be closed on Thursday and Friday of this week. This is in response to KHDA advice tonight. Live lessons will be in operation on both days for all grades. We are seeking to reschedule Grade 12 IB exams, but confirmation of this will follow tomorrow

Closing out two days at the School and Nursery Show. A fantastic PR event that will undoubtedly result in multiple enrolments. Special mention to the Admissions team of Maria, Rima and Reham who were terrific and were ever present. The reason our school roll is so healthy.

A privilege to meet HE Aisha Abdulla Miran, Director General of KHDA this morning at the opening of the School & Nursery Show at Dubai World Trade Centre

‘Guard of honour’ from our Primary and Secondary students

Thank you for putting our school back together again. Recognition of their magnificent contribution.

Time to say thanks publicly to our Facilities, cleaners and Security staff for the great ‘UIS’ clean up last week. No better place than a Primary assembly.

What a star! Congratulations to Sarah Rubaya in 10B who won the Taaleem Arabic short story writing competition. A real credit to her family and our school.

I am delighted that our school will be open tomorrow. It will be fantastic to see our students. Two bus routes may not be operational. However, those respective parents will be communicated with directly in the next hour.

As the UAE bounces back from this week, our school trip to Barcelona have checked in and are ready to fly. Fantastic news. If Barca FC are ‘more than a club’, UIS is ‘more than a school’

The UIS heroes. Countless hours of work, struggled to get home (many had to stay in the school overnight) and they are still smiling. We owe you. What an attitude. We will ‘tip our hats’ to you all on our return. They are ‘the salt of the earth’

Amended programme for the next two days - Thursday - live lessons for G11 and G12, remote learning and a tutor call for all students in their Homeroom classes. Friday - live lessons for all students in all grades. Specific details communicated by Heads of School imminently.

Live lessons for Grades 11 and 12 and remote learning for all. UIS is following UAE government advice below.
