ESM Holiday Camps are thrilled that you are looking in sending your child to our camps this spring break. While we are excited to see all our campers again, we would like to assure you that we will be following all appropriate Covid-19 guidelines which have been put in place for our sector. These protocols are there to ensure we run safe camps that will enable children to have an amazing camp experience in a safe and enriching environment and to support this we are planning to double the number of staff and facilities. We offer your child the opportunity to experience a fantastic range of activities. The daily schedules are tailored to each individual camper, which enables your child to experience a balance between activities they are familiar with and new activities that we feel they will enjoy. All campers are obliged to follow the daily programs and take part in all activities. In order to ensure all of our campers enjoy their time at our camps, ESM has firm rules when it comes to RESPECT, BULLYING and BAD BEHAVIOUR. We have a “no tolerance” policy when it comes to this and if the child cannot function within the group environment, we will ask parents to come collect them straight away.

  • School Culture and Students' Achievement
    School culture and students’ achievement Dr. Samia Al Farra Chief Education Officer Taaleem Dubai, United Arab Emirates Introduction • What is school culture and students‘ achievement? Climate? Schools Character?- activity 1 • Theory and practice • My role as a Chief Education Officer – Taaleem Management group • Different curricula schools in Taaleem (Dubai/Abu Dhabi) • My previous experiences in Kuwait and Jordan • The role of school leaders and staff in promoting students’ achievement. The case of DBS and AAM • The role of parents in students’ achievement • School culture and hosting country. Activity 2 • How can we build a positive school culture that enhances learning and achievement? • Conclusion What is a School culture? “The deeper level of basic assumptions and beliefs that are shared by members of an organization, that operate unconsciously, and that define in a basic ‘taken-for-granted’ fashion an organization's view of itself and its environment”. These produce group norms, sentiments, values and interactions in the work place. It gives the school its unique identity or character. W.K. Hoy, C.G. Miskel, Education Administration. Theory research and practice, 3rd edition. Harvard educator Roland Barth’s observed: “A school’s culture has far more influence on life and learning in the schoolhouse than the state department of education, the superintendent, the school board, or even the principal can ever have.”2 1 C. Elbot & D. Fulton, Building an intentional school culture. (Thousand Oaks, CA: Corwin Press, 2008). 2 R. Barth, “The culture builder,” Educational Leadership, 2002, 59 (8), 6-11. “Drawing on research on “smart and good schools”, CEP defines “character” broadly to include both moral character—treating others well (through kindness, honesty and respect)—and performance character, doing things well (as demonstrated by perseverance, critical thinking, and a commitment to quality).

Term 3 sees the introduction of new DASSA and DAPSA competitive leagues which include Rounders, Basketball and Cricket. However, most of the term 2 leagues will run over in to term 3 so Netball, Rugby, Volleyball and Athletics will still play their fixtures during this time. We will continue to run a variety of recreational activities and games for all students to enjoy. We have made sure that there is a wide range of drama, music, art, STEAM and IT clubs available, amongst some well-established favourites such as Chess, Primary Band/Choir and the Pop-Up Council. We are very proud of the breadth and balance of the ECAs available this year and we hope the children enjoy the activities on offer.
