S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
And we said we don't treat Arabic and Islamic as a separate subject.
0:03
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
It basically follows the same model like the other subject.
0:06
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
So we'll also have Arabic reading days.
0:08
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Like this week is going to be an Arabic reading.
0:10
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
So everybody reads in Arabic.
0:11
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Oh, wow.
0:11
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
And also bringing in to understand and speak the language.
0:15
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
So we...
0:16
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
We've lately started in our current school,
0:19
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
but we're going to be starting this from day one year.
0:21
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Every week you learn one word,
0:23
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
one vocabulary in Arabic.
0:24
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
So you try and use that.
0:26
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Yeah, that's the best way to learn.
0:28
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
And now, because I don't work with as many Arabic people,
0:30
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
my son teaches me the words that he's learned at school.
0:33
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
No, I just really want the teachers to be involved in learning their language.
0:36
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
And we've got so many Emiratis as well coming in,
0:39
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
so that would be helpful.
0:40
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
So you said,
0:41
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
just touching on what you said earlier about,
0:43
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
you've brought some existing stuff from Raffles Dubai.
0:46
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
yeah and what's been your strategy for recruiting teachers so
0:50
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
basically what we're looking at first of all there's been a
0:54
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
big demand from teachers also to look for high quality education and there are some
0:58
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
teachers who have really been looking for IB schools as well because I
1:02
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
think that we've had a lot of teachers coming from Sharjah to our current schools as well
1:06
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
so
1:07
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
What I've done is I've looked at,
1:09
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
of course, when we advertise our school,
1:11
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
we also give opportunities for our existing teachers if they wanted to apply.
1:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
And of course,
1:15
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
we can't bring everybody,
1:16
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
but we were very selective of who are we going to bring.
1:19
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
So heads of the department,
1:21
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
like the head of Arabic and the head of Islamic came in here,
1:24
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
our existing grade five team leader came in.
1:27
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
is coming in with us,
1:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
who's going to be our PYP coordinator.
1:30
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
So we've got some Lee people,
1:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
then our NYP coordinator from secondary is
1:36
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
coming to us here.
1:36
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
So she's bringing her 14 years background of the NYP.
1:40
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
So that we start off with high quality from day one.
1:42
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Because to start off a new school,
1:44
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
you need to model the best practice.
1:45
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
And that's what we thought we needed some people from our existing schools.
1:49
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
But then when we retired,
1:50
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
we looked at teachers here.
1:53
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Of course, we're looking at anybody who's...
1:54
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
I'm a great believer that if you are fond and you've got a passion of learning and growing yourself,
1:58
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
that's what we're looking into.
1:59
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
And so much of an opportunity to grow in a new school.
2:02
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
And that's what people are looking for,
2:04
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
you know, here.
2:05
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
So, yeah.
2:06
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
A lot of our teachers,
2:07
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
I think about 90 % of our teachers are from this region,
2:09
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
so they're already here.
2:10
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Region of UAE or region of Sharjah?
2:13
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Sharjah. That's really important,
2:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
I think. Sharjah and Russell Kainer,
2:16
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
because there are quite a few teachers.
2:17
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Iraq Academy's got some more teachers there as well,
2:20
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
who are looking forward.
2:22
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Achiman Academy,
2:23
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
some teachers are coming from there.
2:24
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
So they're coming from an existing IB school,
2:26
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
but then,
2:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
of course, they're coming into a new school,
2:29
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
and they're really loving that.
2:30
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
So very few teachers have been hired from abroad,
2:33
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
I think.
2:34
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Barring three or four at this point of time in the secondary,
2:37
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
most of them are existing people from this country,
2:40
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
so they understand the UAE,
2:42
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
they understand the culture,
2:43
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
which is so important,
2:44
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
especially in Sharjah.
2:46
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Yeah, I agree.
2:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
And, you know,
2:48
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Sharjah is different.
2:48
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
You have to be really wanting to belong to Sharjah to stay here.
2:52
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
It's not that inviting for expat communities.
2:55
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
So that's been very clear from day one.
2:58
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
We really want people here because one of the most important things for us as a school,
3:01
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
a new school, is retention of teachers.
3:03
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Yeah.
3:04
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Because that's what I've been hearing.
3:05
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Teachers come and go here.
3:06
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
And I've been very clear.
3:08
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
If you're signing up,
3:08
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
you're signing up for three,
3:09
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
four years minimum.
3:10
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Okay.
3:11
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
You know, otherwise it's...
3:12
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Continuity for the students and families.
3:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Continuity.
3:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
And I think when people feel happy and staff well -being is catered for.
3:18
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
And people feel belong.
3:19
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
Because I don't want to do things in isolation.
3:22
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
I involve the teachers.
3:23
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
They unpack everything with me.
3:25
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
come come and talk to me if something that doesn't work let's fix it you know if you get
3:30
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
that lying in from teachers and they feel that you're celebrated for who you are i think you
3:34
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
get the culture and people don't want to leave that yeah that's what we're looking into here yeah
3:38
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_06_16_2026_12_00_01)
nice
