Message from our Associate Principal As we close another chapter in our school’s journey, I am filled with pride and excitement as I reflect on the remarkable achievements of our school community. Earlier this year, we were thrilled to announce that our collective efforts had been recognised as we were honoured as the ‘British International School of the Year’ by the Independent Parent School Magazine. This accolade, coupled with our outstanding rating in the UAE inspection framework, reaffirms our commitment to excellence and continuous improvement. GEMS Wellington International School now places as one of the very few schools in the UAE with such a rich legacy and history of high achievement, an achievement I’m proud of but would like to extend my gratitude to our amazing teachers and leaders who go above and beyond daily for our children.
Our curriculum continues to evolve, offering students a diverse range of opportunities for growth and exploration. From the vibrant elective subjects in Middle School to the specialised teaching in the Lower School, our students are flourishing academically and creatively. Moreover, our personalised pathways for older students, navigating through GCSE and IB study, ensure that each individual’s potential has been nurtured and realised. As we forge ahead, we are privileged to collaborate with world-class partners who enrich our curriculum and provide unparalleled learning experiences. From West End Stage for aspiring performers to 8Billion Ideas for future entrepreneurs, and Shape Robotics for coding and AI enthusiasts, our partnerships ensure that our students are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in an ever-changing world. I am immensely grateful for the dedication and leadership of our Student Senior Leadership Team (SSLT), under the guidance of our Head boy and Head girl, Ujjwal and Wiann, where their genuine commitment has made a tangible difference. I am thrilled for Tarun and Maya as they step into their roles, poised to carry forward our mission whilst actively embodying our school values. Together, we’ve achieved so much, and I couldn’t be prouder. As we look to the year ahead, I’m filled with confidence that we’ll accomplish even greater things. Let’s keep pursuing excellence, staying true to our values of Integrity, Empathy and Fortitude, and empower our students to reach their fullest potential. Andrew Jenkins Associate Principal
Our commitment to holistic education continues to be exemplified through our comprehensive extra-curricular program, “Explore, Enrich, Excite.” With over 100 clubs offered weekly, students have grasped every available opportunity to pursue their passions and interests outside the classroom. Furthermore, our extensive international trip programme featuring destinations such as Japan, USA, Kenya, and Thailand, has allowed students to immerse themselves in diverse cultures, fostering global citizenship and understanding. Beyond the classroom, our students continue to astound us with their endeavors in sports, the arts, and philanthropy. Their caring nature is evident in the multitude of sustainability initiatives and personal philanthropic projects they passionately drive forward.
