THOUGHTS OF THE YEAR
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL Today’s footprint is tomorrow's legacy. I welcome you to the third edition of The Book, a memoir of events past. This has without a doubt been a year of bringing back what makes Kings’ Kings’. Students have jumped at the opportunities on offer to them, both within and beyond the classroom, and The Book captures these perfectly. The real highlight, however, has been the rebuilding of our community, through a variety of events as well as students simply having the freedom to move around their school; we have seen growth in so many of them, both socially and emotionally. This year, there has been some extraordinary highlights, whether that be in sporting fixtures, the black box theatre, the food technology rooms, or within lessons.
4
It would, however, be wrong to not mention the Year 11 and Year 13 cohort who, after a very different GCSE and A Level course, have taken the exams in their stride, balancing not only the return of formal exams with the time difference between us and the UK, which results in some interesting timings, but also in the personal drive that each and every student has shown to achieve to their own personal best. Once again, The Book provides our students with a peek at ‘what's to come’ for them in their future years at Kings’ as well as a memoir of past experiences. I sincerely hope that you enjoy flicking through the third edition of The Book and that you get as much pleasure reflecting on the memories made in 2021-22 as I have. Rebecca Gray Principal

MESSAGE FROM THE PRIMARY DEPUTY HEADTEACHER Another wonderful year at Kings' School Al Barsha is coming to an end. It has certainly been a different year for me, having spent most of terms one and two on maternity leave. Since returning in spring, it has been simply lovely to see and feel our school coming back to life, with whole-school celebrations, in-person assemblies, school parades, exciting hook days, and just enjoying being together again with fewer restrictions in place.
roles and responsibilities, with students across all phases using their voice to share ideas in order to have real impact within our school. The well-being of staff and students continues to be a key priority and it continues to be a privilege to be a part of such a special school community. Rebecca Tennant Deputy Headteacher, Primary
A real highlight this year has been seeing how our student leaders are embracing their

THOUGHTS OF THE YEAR
MESSAGE FROM THE PRIMARY DEPUTY HEADTEACHER Wow! What an incredible year we have had at Kings' School Al Barsha. This year it has been absolutely wonderful to be able to begin to rebuild our community spirit. From inviting parents back on site to attend our first large-scale performance in over two years for the amazing National Day concert, celebrating 50 years of the UAE, to a wonderful International Day celebration, fun-filled sports days, and our community Iftar, Barsha is truly buzzing once more. Students have continued to impress us with their resilience, hard work, and tenacity, and it has been fantastic to see them return to active learning and working collaboratively in the classroom. It has also been especially
6
lovely to be able to see their lovely, smiling faces again in the playgrounds and other outdoor areas. This year saw the return of a bigger and better ECA and enrichment programme, and it has been delightful to see so many students participating in their passions, sharing their talents, competing against other schools, taking a risk and trying something new. As always, it has been a pleasure and a privilege to be a part of this truly special school community this year. Steph Milner Deputy Headteacher, Primary
KINGS' SCHOOL AL BARSHA | The Best By Every Child
MESSAGE FROM THE SECONDARY HEADTEACHER The end of an academic year is always a time for reflecting and reminiscing. For students leaving for university or family relocation, there will be even more room for nostalgia. Friends made, funniest moments, and favourite teachers always rank highest in these thoughts and conversations. Looking back with pride is, I suspect, a normal part of human nature. As a community, we have had several occasions to mark historic moments, from the 50th anniversary of our home nation to the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II. As a school, there is so much that we can take pride in too. Re-establishing normal school routines after the disruption of the
past two years has been at the top of our priority list. Within that, preparing our Year 13s for their final A Level examinations, bearing in mind they have never had to sit formal exams before, has been a challenge that the students took on with tremendous character. What makes Kings’ School Al Barsha great, however, are the opportunities offered beyond the confines of subject specifications. The Book contains so many memories of the activities that lead to real personality growth. I hope you enjoy reliving these experiences now and for many years to come. Paul Taylor Secondary Headteacher

THOUGHTS OF THE YEAR
MESSAGE FROM THE SECONDARY DEPUTY HEADTEACHER Kings' School Al Barsha has well and truly come back to life this year and it has been wonderful to see and be a part of. Bringing back extra-curricular opportunities, school performances, National Day, International Day, sports days and more has given us the opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate. It has also been a pleasure watching the maturity of our Year 11 and Year 13 students as they have prepared for the return of exams and have faced this challenge with resilience, determination, and positivity. Indeed, once again, all of our KSAB students have

impressed me this year with their incredible adaptability, enthusiasm, and energy. As we start to look ahead to the next academic year, I am confident that life at Kings' will continue to build on what is already an incredible school, and well and truly flourish.

MESSAGE FROM THE SECONDARY DEPUTY HEADTEACHER Although masks are still firmly part of our lives, this academic year has been the most uninterrupted in 3 years! We have been able to meet with our community face to face, begin to work alongside our students, learning together, and, most importantly, we have been able to start bringing back the events that make Kings' School Al Barsha the wonderful school that it is.

PRIMARY JUNIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM Not one moment this year can exceed the feeling of joy I felt when I was given the opportunity to lead our Primary Leadership Team as Head Girl. I am proud to say that Kings’ has opened up so many doors and opportunities for me, including recitals, sporting events, performances, and much more. Kings’ is truly a diverse school,

rich in various cultures, talents and interests. There is no doubt in my mind that our school’s motto, The Best By Every Child, definitely applies to our school. Sophie Mosanya Head Girl

SECONDARY JUNIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM This year has been incredibly eventful, from a new student leadership structure to a secondary school fundraiser, we have enjoyed a really successful year. The last two years have certainly been a challenge for us all, however, with covid restrictions loosening, our school was able to strengthen its community through whole-school events once again. We celebrated different nationalities throughout the school on International Day and celebrated our UAE culture as a whole-school on National Day. This year, we were fortunate enough to have been able to visit Expo 2020, a once in a lifetime event, where students learnt about future development of the UAE and other nations. Our new student leadership system allowed for far more students to immerse themselves
12
in opportunities that either broadened their knowledge (through societies) or allowed them to help make our school even better (Through Committees). Our committee system proved to be very successful with our school raising over 16,000 AED through a secondary-wide charity event, Kings’ Splash. Our committees were able to give back to the wider community further through desert clean-ups and recycling competitions. We are very proud of all the achievements across the school. Congratulations everyone on such a great year! Zainab Ali Reza Head Girl

SECONDARY JUNIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM It's been a remarkable year at Kings' School Al Barsha, and the reinvigorated sense of our community and spirit has certainly left its mark. The many achievements of our societies, student leaders, and community events are thanks to the trust and passion of our fellow students. Whether they dedicated countless hours to the wellbeing, environment, finance, events, or charity committee or joined the hundreds of students who participated in Kings' Splash, every one of them has helped make this year count.
the forefront of our committees and student council. As we continue to grow as a school, retaining this sense of community will grow ever more important, but so will its ability to inspire, empower and, above all else, do good. It has been the driving force behind our work as the student leadership team over this last year. Indeed, we have learned a tremendous amount about what brings our community together, along with many challenges that have only left us more ambitious and excited for what we can do next year! Arshan Haghshenas Head Boy
We've felt a real buzz of excitement around student leadership ever since the election campaign at the beginning of the year; momentum that we have used to expand the role of student voice and bring it to

MY YEAR IN YEAR 6 This year, I have taken advantage of every opportunity and made the best memories along the way. I had a go at lots of new sports and represented the school in others, including the BSME Netball Tournament and the UDO Dance Competition. With a love for music and drama, I joined the musical theatre squad, the choir, and the Year 6 production. I was especially proud to be among the first students at Kings’ to sit the LAMDA
14
exam in performing arts. Other highlights include the Junior Duke Award and the residential, our first ever! Throughout all my experiences this year, what stands out for me is how much our year group supports each other in all we do, like one big family. Harriet Efford Deputy Head Girl
KINGS' SCHOOL AL BARSHA | The Best By Every Child
MY YEAR IN YEAR 6 This year, a highlight for me was the Year 6 Residential. I really enjoyed challenging myself and collaborating with other children across the year group. My favourite topic that we have studied this year is World War II. I liked that I had the opportunity to research all things about the war and present my findings to the class.
Although this was my first year at Kings’, I have really enjoyed taking on the role of Deputy Head Boy and feel I have developed my leadership skills. In Year 7, I am excited about meeting new friends and using the design and technology facilities. Naael Sheikh Deputy Head Boy

MY YEAR IN YEAR 7 This year was my first year in secondary school, and I am proud to say that I spent it here at Kings' School Al Barsha. It has been an extraordinary year filled with new experiences. Each one has been memorable, whether it was taking part in the Year 7 production or learning how to bake in Food Technology. Everything that is done here, no matter what it is, you always feel like one big family. Take sports day for example, it was so amazing how the whole year group got together and cheered on their classmates.
16
Splash day was another highlight as everyone got together again to dunk Ms Rose with water. Everyone has a voice in this community. I felt so involved when deciding on the student leadership team of the school. When I first joined, I remember wondering if I would fit in and how it would all work, but I felt very welcomed by all the lovely teachers and students here very quickly. Shamsa Al Mheiri Year 7
KINGS' SCHOOL AL BARSHA | The Best By Every Child
MY YEAR IN YEAR 7 Even though I have been at Kings’ School Al Barsha since Year 2, I felt like I was entering a whole new and exciting world when I joined the Secondary. The building was different, the lessons were different, and even the classes were different. Needless to say, I was very worried about getting lost on my first day! However, the teachers and students were very supportive. I remember spotting a teacher and asking her where my form class was. She was super helpful and showed me the right way. This kindness immediately made me feel settled and helped me to start off a very successful year on the right note. I’ve had a lot of fun participating in all of the events that the school has to offer, for example, International Day. I loved how I only had to walk a few steps to visit another country. The countless countries, teachers and parents that
took part in International Day made it one of the highlights of my school year. Another one of my favourite parts of the school year was voting for Head Boy and Head Girl. I loved how included everyone was in the process, the hype for who was going to be appointed and how each candidate promised to do something for the school community. I have also really enjoyed all of the new exciting lessons we have had, for example, Food Technology. This was probably one of my favourite lessons in school because of the different dishes we made. This also taught me many life skills, like cutting vegetables (and that cutting onions is torture!) and cooking pasta. This was all made easy by the amazing specialist equipment and the expert teachers. I am a much better chef now! Krishh Bhuyan Madbhavi Year 7

MY YEAR IN YEAR 12 Throughout my time at Kings’ School Al Barsha, I have had the opportunity to develop my critical and analytical skills through taking part in various opportunities that Kings’ has to offer, and these have guided my career aspirations. My journey in Sixth Form has been a challenging but thrilling experience as I have discovered strengths and weaknesses that have made me develop into a well-rounded individual. While I have had my difficulties in Year 12, it has opened my eyes to becoming more independent and taking action on my own, preparing me for Year 13 as well as for the future.
18
Overall, Year 12 has taught me about the struggles that I may face, but also how to overcome those struggles and be the best version of myself. Moreover, my experience in Year 12 has enabled me to broaden specific skills by taking advantage of the various opportunities at school and by undertaking further learning, which is always recommended. Despite what challenges I may face in Year 13, I am excited to move forward in my educational journey. Zara Shirin Batliwala 12N

MY YEAR IN YEAR 12 I have been at Kings’ School Al Barsha since Year 6 and, therefore, the school has had a huge role in forming my personality, friendships, and mindset. I can confidently say that in the 6 years I have been here, I have had a brilliant experience, especially when it comes to teachers and the quality of education. Kings’ has also helped me to discover my love for sports, whether it was from playing for the school rugby team or entering the school’s state-of-the-art gym for the first time.

Year 12 has been an exciting experience; I am following my academic passions and now I am at the point of planning where I will go for university. Year 12 has taught me a lot about coping with challenges and how to remain strong. I can’t believe I’m nearly in Year 13! Abdullah Zweil 12G

KINGS' SCHOOL AL BARSHA | The Best By Every Child
KINGS' SCHOOL GRADUATES Class of 2022, you are nothing short of legendary and I want to thank you on behalf of the whole Kings’ School Al Barsha community. You have, without a doubt, been an inspiring group of individuals and it has been a complete privilege to work with you all. As you move forward and take the exhilarating leap into adulthood, I want you to ask yourself: What are you taking with you? What are you leaving behind? It is said that it is not what you have been through in your life that defines who you are; rather, it is how you got through it that has made you
into the person you are today. Indeed, it is your strength of character, your resilience when faced with setbacks, the motivation to keep going, and the camaraderie to support each other that cements you as legends in our eyes. You survived a turbulent and unprecedented time in our history, and you made it out the other side triumphant. Consider, therefore, what have you learnt about yourself? What skills are you taking with you in to this great adventure? I wish you every success in all that you do and I already look forward to hearing about your journey in years to come. Kings’ is going to miss you incredibly, but what we get to miss, the world gets to gain. Natasha Ringshaw Head of Sixth Form

WORLD BOOK DAY As part of the World Book Day celebrations, and to promote a love of reading, students were asked to come into school dressed as their favourite authors and literary characters. There were many creative outfits and awards given out for the best dressed in each year group. We had characters from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Sherlock Holmes and this year, even a squad of Tyrannosaurus Rexes from Jurassic Park! Students took part in runways as part of the Costume Competition of 2022. We saw so many fantastic costumes that it was so difficult to choose a winner.
Primary students were invited to write a review for their favourite book to be published on the virtual Bookflix and shared for all of the community to enjoy whilst Secondary students took part in interactive quizzes, reading and writing competitions. Throughout the day, the World Book Day anthem was played to encourage children to Stop, Drop and Read!
