Welcome to my blog!
One of the most important skills that students learn at school is the ability to communicate effectively. Sharing our learning is important and here in my blog I will attempt to share some what is important with you.
I hope you find it useful and informative.

Another day at the office: MUN Day 2
Greetings from Doha and the Qatar National Convention Centre, an enormous, beautiful complex which has to boast some sort of record for bathrooms per square meter. It's like looking for a petroleum station in Oman. Give it 30 seconds, you'll see one. Grade 10 did us...
This suits them well: MUN Day 1
You'll forgive our Grade 10 students if they were a bit startled as they reached the top of the escalator inside the Qatar National Convention Center: standing in the middle of the main area is a 10-meter high spider, a sculpture by Louise Bourgeois. It includes a sac...

We ARE there already
"When will we get there?" It is amazing how few times we have heard this cry, yet it is common enough. ABIS students will undoubtedly remember the walking on this trip, lots and lots of walking, but most seem to understand that Paris is the destination, not the...
Our first day out on the town
