S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It's so hard.
0:01
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It is.
0:01
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Teachers,
0:02
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
if you can go for a swim at 6 o 'clock and begin work at 7 o 'clock,
0:06
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
your day's already set up.
0:08
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And you know as well,
0:10
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
so many of the teachers here are actually fitness fanatics.
0:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
So that's part of what we've done for wellbeing.
0:18
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I mean, the other bit is,
0:19
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
in terms of people,
0:20
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
we get to set a culture,
0:22
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
we get to set a tone and teams as well.
0:25
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Teams just get to be a big part of that.
0:27
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I mean,
0:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I know everyone is,
0:29
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
but when you start something new,
0:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
there's nothing in place and there's nothing in place.
0:35
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
You get both freedom as a double -edged sword.
0:38
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
But I think that freedom,
0:40
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
when it comes to worldview,
0:41
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
we're all going to be new.
0:44
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
So we've got to make sure that all of these new children are looked at.
0:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
My job is to make sure that all of these,
0:48
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
everybody here is catered for
0:52
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
us, feel safe.
0:53
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
If we make this a place where you feel safe,
0:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
then all of those other well -being systems,
1:00
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
all of them.
1:01
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Because all of our teachers are coming from Dubai.
1:03
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Everybody.
1:05
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
We've not had anyone extended.
1:07
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
So they already are embedded within...
1:09
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Is that a strategic decision?
1:10
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Yeah, completely.
1:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It's going to be hard.
1:15
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Launching a new school is not an easy thing.
1:17
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
But the demands of Dubai market,
1:19
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Dubai parents,
1:20
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
and the standards we want to put in place for them is very hard
1:25
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
to hit the ground running when you're also moving to a new country.
1:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Everybody's been hired from within this market.
1:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
So they know at the start,
1:33
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
both what they need to think about it,
1:35
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
you know.
1:36
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And the culture and what it's like in EUA and I think they're really important
1:40
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
aspects that already have embedded in yourself rather than learning it
1:44
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
alongside you.
1:45
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It's a unique place to work.
1:46
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It is a unique place to work and it does take you a few minutes to understand that as
1:51
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
we open a brand new unique place in and of itself,
1:53
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I think one unique is enough for anybody to cope with.
1:56
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
That was also part of it.
1:58
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
We want people to come in who know...
2:02
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
how they're going to look after one another it's a big part of our well -being yeah it's not just it's
2:06
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
not you doing it right it's everyone doing it for one another yeah yeah for sure
2:11
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
and one of the pieces i'm working on for father's day is male role models
2:15
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
in schools and some of the research that i found is and it's definitely
2:19
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
in the uk there's a big disparity between female teachers and male teachers
2:23
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
in schools
2:24
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
and you coming in as head of primary as a male how did you feel that there's a additional
2:29
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
pressure on you in that respect i was the head of early years and it's hills so
2:34
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
that's my background has always been like yeah seven years yeah um
2:39
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
no it's not really i also think compared to the uk there's a lot more male teachers
2:43
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
in primary schools generally you know primary
2:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
yeah secondary and uni
2:50
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
i'm so sorry i'm late i want to say i'll do like this nice
2:54
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
to meet you you too this is one i've been most excited about attending so i
2:58
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
do apologize
3:01
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
You're welcome to come again when it's,
3:03
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I would say, cooler,
3:04
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
which is not going to happen in any...
3:05
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
AC. This is a good place to stand,
3:08
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
though. This is why I say I just need...
3:10
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
If they can just get the shower room sorted,
3:12
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I'm...
3:13
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Okay,
3:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
you can move in.
3:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And then I panic more because I'm getting so hot,
3:17
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
then I just get hotter.
3:18
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Yeah, I'm the same,
3:19
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I'm the same.
3:20
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And I hope you found it informative.
3:22
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I mean, it is...
3:25
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It's a lot,
3:25
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
as I said, from when we were here on Tuesday and Monday as well,
3:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
just the changes that has happened,
3:29
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
the speed at which it happened,
3:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
so that I don't have to stand with those guys and give the teacher a look.
3:36
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Although that works wonders,
3:37
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I've seen it in a lot of new builds.
3:39
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
You see these contractors revert back
3:43
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
to schoolboy,
3:44
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
schoolgirl childhood.
3:45
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I think they did three weeks ago when I walked here.
3:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I hit in absolute panic.
3:49
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I was like, Costa was like,
3:50
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
no, it's all right.
3:51
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Jan's like, no,
3:52
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
you're still in a good fashion.
3:53
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It will happen.
3:54
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
The UAE is good at many things,
3:56
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
but getting things up in a short amount of time is a skill.
3:59
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It's been 16 years to know that it goes up.
4:01
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
You still always have that panic,
4:02
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
but then it always works out.
4:04
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Because you're telling the parents that it's going,
4:05
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
that's
4:05
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
They're number one thing.
4:07
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
No questions about the DIA name.
4:09
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
They know it's trusted.
4:10
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Will your building be ready?
4:12
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And I believe it will be ready.
4:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It will be ready.
4:15
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
You do need those moments.
4:16
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Sometimes you have those moments where you go.
4:18
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And the hard bit's essentially done right.
4:22
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
The build and the design and then it's all the fun bits now.
4:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
The cladding,
4:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
the ceiling.
4:29
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
That's why we're not really worried.
4:32
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
When you see the ceiling,
4:35
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
it's just bolt on.
4:36
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
The infrastructure's there.
4:37
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Now you can do the colours and the furniture.
4:39
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And the furniture's already done.
4:41
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It's already waiting for us in our warehouse,
4:42
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
packed really with our names on it.
4:43
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
So it's literally ceiling boards,
4:45
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
the final bit of paint,
4:46
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
the flooring going in,
4:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
and we're sorted.
4:50
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Just that simple.
4:51
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Just that simple.
4:52
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Depending on the power.
4:53
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Throw up a ceiling board or two.
4:55
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Give the floor a lick.
4:56
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
We're done.
4:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
We're out.
5:00
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Really?
5:00
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Really?
5:01
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And when the rest of the boards arrive,
5:05
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
150 of them are dedicated to just doing things.
5:08
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Wow.
5:09
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Because they've managed to do all the MEP and all those kind of things already.
5:12
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
So it'll happen so quick.
5:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
What's your sign -off date?
5:16
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
End of July.
5:19
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Good chunk,
5:20
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
good chunk, yeah.
5:21
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I think now every time you come in,
5:23
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
you're just going to see it move at such a rate.
5:25
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And that's what we sometimes have to stop ourselves from doing,
5:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
is not coming in too regularly so that you do get that...
5:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Those jumps.
5:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Yes.
5:32
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Every couple of weeks it's about right.
5:34
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
You know, you can see it,
5:35
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
whereas when it's daily,
5:35
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
you're almost like, I've changed.
5:37
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Yeah.
5:37
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It's like when I get on the scale daily.
5:39
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I throw mine away.
5:42
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And still nothing happens,
5:43
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I just don't get on it anymore.
5:44
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
That's it.
5:46
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Just do one foot.
5:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
My brain will think,
5:50
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
just because I've done those stairs,
5:51
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
now I'm okay for a chocolate.
5:52
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Yeah, we are.
5:52
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I'm sorted.
5:53
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I'm done.
5:54
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I like that.
5:55
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I like that thinking.
5:56
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Balance.
5:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Balance.
5:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I was just saying one of the pieces I'm writing is on male role models in the school to
6:01
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
be released around Father's Day and James was saying that all
6:06
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
of your staff have been recruited from within Dubai and you've got two leadership roles,
6:10
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
key, leading by men and is that a strategic decision?
6:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Because traditionally women...
6:16
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Women tend to be fired through school,
6:17
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
am I right?
6:17
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Yeah, yeah.
6:18
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I mean, and that is my role.
6:19
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Basically,
6:20
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
James and I have done a role reversal in Poster,
6:22
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
but yeah, at this point in time when...
6:24
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
The principal is now female and you're head of crime.
6:26
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And the fact that James is also an expert in early years is a matter.
6:29
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I was just saying that.
6:30
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Experts are a bit strong.
6:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I know you're applauding,
6:32
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
but I'm all right.
6:33
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
My wife's going to hear that and be like,
6:35
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
what?
6:38
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And then you've got someone who's a DP specialist and they're wanting to make sure that the secondary school starts
6:43
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
off on the right foot so that he knows what their end journey is supposed to look like.
6:46
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And that has been a conscious decision.
6:48
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I say this,
6:52
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
but not because I'm saying it.
6:54
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It's because we have been told this by the other schools.
6:56
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
They see us as the dream team at the moment.
6:58
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
But we get teased a little bit,
7:01
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
you know, to the new school.
7:02
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
They say it with a bit of tugging cheek,
7:06
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
but I know deep down.
7:08
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It is the dream team.
7:09
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Yeah, that's good.
7:10
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Once you get that right,
7:12
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I think then when your staff come in and your students come in,
7:15
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
you're winning for sure.
7:17
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I think to your point about male role models,
7:19
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I think.
7:21
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Fundamentally, kids just need people to be present in their lives and invested in them.
7:24
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
That's the key to everything.
7:26
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Whether it's males or females,
7:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I think the investment part and just the presence,
7:30
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I think that leads to all sorts of wonderful things in terms of the kids'
7:35
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
development.
7:35
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
All the way up to senior students who I come and look after,
7:39
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
the minute I'm just there and I spend the time with them.
7:42
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Sometimes it's just a chat or I can see they're frustrated or they're something bottled up
7:46
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
and you go, let's just go for a walk.
7:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And it's less who I am and my gender and more the fact that I'm sitting
7:51
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
there and recognizing you and giving you the time of day and seeing you for who you
7:55
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
are. I think that's enough.
7:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
a lot of the times.
7:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I think that's usually the magic tool.
7:59
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It is,
8:00
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
and I'm a raging feminist through and through,
8:03
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
but in this day and age there's a pressure on young men and social media and the manosphere
8:07
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
and all the other people whose names we mentioned that now reside in UAE
8:12
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
unfortunately.
8:12
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It's the role of education though.
8:15
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It is the role of education for sure.
8:17
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Again, I don't know if it's gender specific,
8:18
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I think it has to do with...
8:20
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
how you teach the kids to see the world and be critically evaluative
8:25
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
of the things that they're hearing.
8:26
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
To sit there and go,
8:27
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
that sounds a bit sus,
8:29
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
instead of just saying,
8:30
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
yeah, that makes sense.
8:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And a lot of the times,
8:32
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
some of the more dangerous messaging that gets out is because the kids are,
8:35
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
go back to my point,
8:36
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
the kids are not seen,
8:37
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
people don't invest in them,
8:39
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
people are present in their lives.
8:41
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
vulnerable to that need.
8:42
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
They want somebody that sees them and speaks to them.
8:46
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And if there's nobody present,
8:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
they will gravitate sometimes with angels.
8:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
You've been very thoughtful.
8:58
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I want to say thoughtful as if you've got a male in everyone,
9:01
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
where we, obviously early years,
9:03
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
you've got,
9:03
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
but from grade one onwards,
9:05
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
you already have a male presence in the future.
9:07
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And where
9:13
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
you've mentioned about,
9:15
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
you know, that presence.
9:17
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
one of the parts that when we were busy having the chats with something as simple as furniture when
9:21
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
it came to our offices as
9:27
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
long as there's a chair and a table because none of us are office
9:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
people yeah i mean i'm not genuinely if you go to any of our current schools
9:35
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
now they will say a miss candace or mr james poster of
9:40
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
scene in the corridors
9:44
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It was heartbreaking for me going back to,
9:46
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
for example, Basha just before the break again.
9:50
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And the kids are like,
9:51
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
are you back?
9:52
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And you're walking down the corridor.
9:53
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
James went and did a tour with parents at the school,
9:55
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
and they were like, Mr.
9:56
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
James, are you back?
9:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And you can see it.
9:59
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
So I was at Emirates Hills,
10:00
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
but not at the same time as James.
10:02
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And then I moved to Barsha to get that started in 2018.
10:05
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
James was there then.
10:06
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Costa's the newbie in the group.
10:09
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
But we've known each other through the IB network of where Costa started the Middle East.
10:13
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
So it was myself,
10:15
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
David Hicks,
10:16
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
who's back at Barsha now.
10:17
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
There's a lot of continuity,
10:19
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
let's just say.
10:20
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
A little bit of experience.
10:21
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Coming in through.
10:23
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
So I think that's it.
10:25
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
That's definitely been part of the group.
10:27
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I mean, it's been the one we had the longest year now,
10:30
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
16 years with Interventures,
10:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
and I've had the experience of doing all 3D,
10:33
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
the experience of doing DIA.
10:35
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It's exciting,
10:39
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
it's nerve -wracking,
10:40
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
but again, that's my excuse for my coffee and my chocolate.
10:42
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
The nerves are good,
10:45
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
nerves are good.
10:45
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
And it's about balance,
10:48
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
right? Coming back to your point,
10:49
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
making sure that there's positive role models across the board.
10:53
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
But I think as educators we will remember that one teacher that really impacted
10:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
us and probably made us want to go into education.
11:00
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Do you have that person in your head from when you were at school?
11:03
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Yes, I can say right over here now,
11:05
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
the reason I became a teacher is Mr.
11:08
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Gary Johnson.
11:09
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I can name him,
11:10
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I know exactly where he is,
11:11
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
and he was my grade 6 and 7 teacher.
11:13
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
7 was primary school.
11:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I think we can all do this.
11:16
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Miss Jenkins for me.
11:17
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
It's so important.
11:18
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I can't shame my mother,
11:22
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
although she's a teacher,
11:23
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
taught at the same school.
11:25
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
By default we will never have.
11:27
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I was fortunate enough not to have her as a classroom teacher.
11:30
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
My sister had her for two years.
11:32
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
She was the only English class in the school that they were teaching at and so if my mum was moved
11:36
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
from the one grade to the next grade,
11:38
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
it must have been a kid as you.
11:39
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I've got to be two years...
11:40
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
Do you have to call a mess?
11:41
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_06_04_2026_10_27_12)
I always wonder that.
