Years 4-12 Visit Yas Marina Circuit

Our F1 Schools’ team visited Yas Marina Circuit this term. We have 20 students from year 4 to year 12 making up 5 teams taking part in the competition this year. 2 professional teams and 3 Rookie teams who will be competing in the national finals in June.

During the trip, students received a comprehensive presentation on the rules and regulations of F1 in Schools, saw a demonstration of manufacturing equipment, and were given an exclusive look at past portfolios and cars.

They also had an analysis session and tour of the circuit, which included a view of their race cars. In addition, the students were able to put their own designed race cars to the test on both the F1 in Schools track and in the wind tunnel. This experience provided a valuable opportunity for the students to ask questions and get answers from experts and gain design inspiration for their own F1 in Schools cars.

On March 20th, UN’s International Day of Happiness, BIS Abu Dhabi celebrated its first ever One People One Planet event and what a success it was! All students, parents, and staff came together in unity and positivity, focusing on caring for the environment and driving positive change.

The Year 12 Student Activist Team and school collaborated with a number of local businesses who showed their support by hosting stalls in our market Souq, selling sustainable and healthy products, as well as putting on a range of fitness, wellbeing, and educational activities and workshops, from yoga to mindfulness, gardening to cook and play, face painting to a magic show from the spectacular Magic Phil, so there was something for everyone!
