On Wednesday 4th October, we will be celebrating World Animal Day at SISD; a day that unites the animal welfare movement, mobilising it into a global force to make the world a better place for all animals. Each one of us can make a difference, and together we make change!
Dress Up as your favourite animal, or an endangered species - a full costume, a mask, hat, badge or just bring a stuffed toy - you decide.
Donations are welcome for Dubai Cares.

Today we recognise and celebrate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
The 12th day of the Islamic month of Rabi Al Awwal is marked by Muslims as Milad Al-Nabi (Mawlid). During Mawlid, Muslims reflect on the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), emphasising his compassion, love and wisdom.
Our students and staff shared the gifts of chocolates and dates, and our Muslim students enjoyed an informative assembly of music, drama and recitations.

Our KG1 students have been busy measuring this week! The students loved their hands-on and practical maths lesson, learning all about measures. They arranged themselves & their friends from shortest to tallest, before measuring their friends` height with a piece of string. So impressive to see them already using their scissors correctly and working collaboratively with their classmates on their learning.
