University Internship for SES Biologists:

During the winter break, a group of 12 SES biologists participated in an internship program offered by The Department of Applied Biology / Biotechnology Program at the College of Sciences / University of Sharjah. The internship covered a wide range of biological experiments that reinforce our GCSE and A level Biology curriculum.

This was an excellent opportunity for students to develop scientific skills outside of their normal school environment, to network and to meet other keen students and working professionals in the field of Biology.

Primary ECA Dance Club Every Monday. The dance group was split into two and the children had the opportunity to choose their own song, practice a routine and perform it in front of the group!

Year 2 Arabic lessons have gotten creative and they have made some wonderful frog and butterfly artwork 🐸 ?/

Rather than making them walk the plank, Ms Woods & Ms Ward enjoyed taking their year 7 English students outside to peer-evaluate their letters in a bottle. The students were writing from the point of view of a pirate pleading for help from Blackbeard's flagship.🏴☠⚔?/

Tuesday 8th September saw a large and enthusiastic gathering of parents for the Parents' Support Group Coffee Morning. The PSG is a crucial part of Sharjah English School. Being mainly concerned with building community spirit and organizing fund-raising efforts, the group consists of parents who are willing and able to devote some voluntary time to enhance the experience of the children at school – through supporting school events with refreshments, building community spirit, and celebrating diversity with our annual Iftar and other social occasions.
Fundraising efforts in the past year have enabled the purchase of a laser cutter for the Design and Technology department, and supplying IT equipment to support music and composition.
All parents are invited to participate in PSG events; the level of commitment can vary from a few hours a term to getting involved in our big efforts such as 'Winter Fayre.'
You can follow the PSG on their Facebook page. Please see the PSG page on the school website for details of how to get involved.

SES is proud to recognize the achievements of Mr. Toby Oakeley, of our PE department, who recently represented the UAE at international level in Rugby 7s.

This is a huge personal accomplishment for Toby, and provides an inspiration to all our students. Toby, himself as SES alumnus, is a model of the rewards of dedication, discipline and hard work which we promote as values that all our students should aspire to, whether in sport, arts or academic work.

Well done, Toby!
