A week of parent engagement at SISD! It was a pleasure to have our Early Years and Grade 1 parents into school this week to support their children in making very festive Xmas decorations. The students enjoyed showing off their classrooms, the wall displays of their work, their school books and then enjoying a festive session outside!

An opportunity for a heartfelt 'thank you' to our amazing support staff today! Our student leaders had the pleasure of giving the winter gift packages to our support teams this morning. We would also like to thank the SISD Community for your very generous donations and support with this initiative - as a community, we collected donations to fill 143 bags. #Thankyou #wintergifts #sisdcommunity ...

Yesterday, we welcomed Angela McCarthy, CEO of The Earth Foundation, a Swiss organisation established to inspire and empower students, schools, researchers, and young entrepreneurs with innovative ideas to tackle environmental challenge. Our Grade 11 and 12 students had the opportunity to meet with Angela to talk about their ideas and projects, as part of the global @theEarthPrize that the students are participating in, with over 500 global schools. #sustanability #environmentalchange #EarthPrize ...

This week, our Grade 5 students participated in the IBEX Business Fair, an opportunity for them to create startup businesses, plan their product, design their marketing and then ultimately sell their product! The seven-week unit started with writing persuasive letters to ask for 200 dirham loans from parents. Students created business plans with vision and mission statements, forecasted profits, created websites and advertising campaigns with QR codes. The products and services created varied from customized jewelry to hand drawn art work. Grade 5 parents were invited to attend, see the finished results and to purchase the products.
Over 20,000 AED was gained during the two-day event, enabling students to pay back the 200 AED loan from parents and gain profits to either donate, reinvest or save.

Gaining financial understanding at a young age is a crucial life building skill. In addition to this the threading of the Sustainable Development Goals and making contributions to the charity @dubaicares, were both ethical business elements that students gained. ...

SISD is passionate about philanthropic missions. We have been involved in fundraising events, campaigns and welfare programs with @dubaicares for many years. Dubai Cares Distinguished Philanthropic Award in Schools is an initiative that invites students from public and private schools across the seven emirates to participate in this competition by putting forward creative and innovative fundraising concepts, whilst showing a sense of philanthropy and entrepreneurship at an early age.
We were very honored to have welcomed Ayesha Alshared, Fundraising Associate at Dubai Cares during the #SISD_BusinessFair yesterday.

There is still time to donate, the link is in our bio. Thank you for your generous contribution.
