Nord Anglia Education (NAE) schools across the UAE continue to demonstrate the value of parent and community engagement through impactful events and initiatives. These activities create an environment of collaboration and connection, enriching the student experience and fostering a strong sense of belonging amongst families, schools and the wider community.

Creating Shared Memories and Strengthening Connections

At Nord Anglia International School Abu Dhabi (NAS Abu Dhabi), the recent Autumn Festival, hosted on October 31st, showcased creativity and community spirit, bringing the community together for an evening of connection and shared experiences. Highlights included imaginative ‘trunk or treat’ displays, creative costumes, and unique stalls hosted by families and partners. This event exemplified the school’s commitment to nurturing a sense of belonging and fostering meaningful relationships.

The upcoming Al Etihad event on 28th November will further highlight the school’s collaborative ethos. Families, students and staff will come together for a colourful parade, cultural performances, the much-anticipated whole-school photo forming ‘NAS’ in UAE colours, and immersive experiences in the Eid Al Etihad Village. Activities include henna art, traditional Emirati food stalls, UAE-themed STEAM projects, flag-making, live performances and interactive exhibits that showcase the UAE’s rich heritage and vibrant traditions.

Nord Anglia International School Dubai (NAS Dubai) recently brought its community together at the Autumn BBQ on October 30th, creating a warm and welcoming space for families to connect and bond. The event featured activities that encouraged collaboration and shared experiences, such as Trunk-or-Treat, a Scare Maze, and a photobooth where families could capture memories together. This event reflected NAS Dubai’s commitment to parent engagement, which fosters collaboration, enriches the educational experience, and helps families create lasting memories.

At The British International School Abu Dhabi (BIS Abu Dhabi), preparations are underway for the UAE Union Day event on 28th November. This event will bring the school community together for traditional Emirati performances, camel rides, face painting, Harbeya dance, photo booths, arts and crafts, traditional games, quizzes and a UAE-themed souq. By offering families an immersive experience, the event reflects the school’s values of unity and cultural appreciation. For BIS Abu Dhabi, Union Day is more than just a school event; it serves as a heartfelt tribute to the UAE’s values of unity, pride, and cultural heritage. The occasion reflects the diversity and togetherness that define the school community, offering shared moments that honour these meaningful connections.

At Swiss International Scientific School Dubai (SISD), the recent Winter Wonderland event brought families, students, and staff together for an evening of festive activities that fostered meaningful connections and a sense of belonging. A highlight of the event was the students’ performance of festive tunes they had been rehearsing for weeks. One parent shared, “This event reminded us why we love this school — it’s not just academics, but the joy and creativity our children experience every day.”

SISD’s National Day celebration on 28th November will honour the UAE’s cultural heritage with hands-on activities, traditional music, and cultural displays, deepening the participants’ understanding and appreciation of the UAE’s values.
