SIXTH FORM REPORT CLASS OF 2015 – 2016

2

We are extremely proud of our Sixth Form students: they work hard and play hard, creating a very special

atmosphere at the school. We aim to provide an environment where students can grow socially as well as

academically, where they can take increasing responsibility for their learning and for their career options.

Students begin to plan on their choice of subjects during the last term of Year 11, choosing four AS courses

to study during the Lower Sixth form i.e. at AS level. At ADHS, we do our very best to accommodate all

combinations of subject choices.

At the start of sixth form classes, AS level students have an Orientation Day where they are introduced to

the The Head of year and the faculty. Newly admitted students from other schools are welcomed in to the

ADHS family. Students who come new are given special support in the early weeks, each one having a

"Buddy" from among the year group and individual meetings with Head of Year / Head of Sixth Form to

help with settling in.

AS level students get to choose any one subject from the four option blocks. Arabic and Physical Education

is compulsory. A level students have to opt for a minimum of 3 subjects. A level Physical Education &

English was introduced this year after feedback from students regarding the subjects they liked to opt at the AS level.

In addition to the mainstream examined subjects, ADHS Sixth Form offers tMBA as an extension course. t-

MBA Digital is an online, engaging and personalized learning platform for 21st century skills. It is an

EdExcel accredited model and has a proven record of providing 21st century skills through business and

technology oriented education practices for high school learners. t-MBA Digital is a self-paced system and

thus, completion is dependent upon the students’ engagement. At ADHS, the program is offered mandatorily

to all Sixth Form students during the PEP lessons.

VISION

“An innovative and dynamic sixth form that inspires students to achieve

excellence .”

Aim

Our aim is to combine excellent academic teaching for AS and A-level with a

This is a very exciting time in the students' lives as their experiences in the Sixth Form will shape their

future studies and careers. We provide our students with a detailed programme of support for University

applications and advice on career choices. In addition to this, we have a continuous and

comprehensive Career Guidance Programme for the Sixth Form students through out the academic year .

On Wednesdays, we invite educational consultants and motivational speakers from different career fields to

help students charter their career pathways, get information about higher education abroad and locally, and

introspect their career choices.

Our new initiatives –

Mentor system - We link our ADHS students who are seeking admission in different Universities

with Alumni students so that their admission procedures becomes easier.

Career Week End Note – A special edition of Career guidance note is uploaded on our

Communicator and Sixth Form Learning Hub, every week end.

Skill Based Training – Based on the responses of a student survey, we have started skill based

training for A level students especially on CV writing, Profile writing , Essays for University

application, Interview skills etc.

A formal Community Outreach Program (COP), to help our students reach out to the society with more

interaction, is part of the curriculum for the sixth form students. This is a tool aimed at increasing students'

active participation in community service. These activities are educational and provide a sense of continuity

to the learning experiences. It allows individuals to interact with their environment - the school community /

members of the family and friends / community groups etc.

COP gives the following opportunities:

to develop Sixth formers’ personal leadership skills as well as techniques to apply these skills

in their future professions

to blend community service and activities so that both are practiced and each is enriched by

the other.

to participate and form an essential community service that builds, utilizes and provides a

framework for academic and civic skills, abilities and competencies.

In the past three years the Community Outreach Programme of ADHS has been actively involved in various

social programs like Nepal Relief Fund, collecting stationery materials for school in India and Philippines,

Blood Donation Camps, volunteering at Latifa Hospital, Manzil and Al Noor Center for children with Special

Needs, collecting food items for labour camps, fund raising, uniform and used clothes distribution in village

schools in India and providing assistance with Art equipment for a school in Nepal etc.

New Initiative :

Manzil Service for all Sixth Form students.

typical 21st century learning environment.

The 21st century skills are a set of abilities that students need to develop in order to succeed in the

information age and the Sixth form curriculum has been consciously designed with the aim to provide

opportunities to develop these skills. The ADHS Sixth Form Learning Hub has been created to promote

collaboration and communication among students. Subject teachers will be uploading homework regularly

and follow up on the participation of students.

Feed back from students on Career Guidance Interface

The Career Guidance Interface has been immensely helpful to me this year. In the span of an hour and

twenty minutes every week, I’ve learned about how to ace my job/college interview, how to write

professional e-mails, how to manage money and most importantly – What skills my future course

expects me to have. I’m really grateful for this opportunity and would love to attend more sessions to

gain more knowledge at the end of the day. Maryam Javed , A level

CGI helped bring an insight on the various career choices that students can make. It also helped

increase awareness of the different courses and services offered to students by universities. It's helped

a lot of students understand how they can get into different universities abroad and locally. It's also

helped them develop an interest in certain jobs which they can try and work for.

Ashley Dçosta , A level

The CGI sessions provided us students with an intuitive and outstanding insight into the lives of our

chosen profession. We were given a rare opportunity to interact with professional with various fields,

who not only told us what it takes to succeed in our careers but also gave us glimpses into what to

expect if we continued in our field of education. I thank the teachers for stting up such informative

sessions and I hope to see more in the future. Sreenivas , A level

awarding our high achievers with various laurels, and like ever, the room was enveloped in

pride and praise, teachers and parents alike pleased to see the children they meticulously

and judiciously molded into the winners they are today. Wishing a hearty congratulations to

all our remarkable high-fliers.

As our head boy put it, teachers aren’t just ordinary staff, they are irreplaceable superstars. The

event, tirelessly envisioned and executed by the girls of 12th grade, kicked off with a bang, as the rally

of teachers took their positions, their entrance marked with thunderous applause. Walking down the

ceremonious red carpet, name after name the teachers were called upon, each followed by a sweet,

personalized message based on why the students appreciate their efforts. Without missing a beat, the

event shifted to the play prepared by the students, in which the audience was treated to a live

visualisation of their interpretation of what goes on inside the mind of our dedicated mentors. A

welcome. They were entertained by the talented finalists of the talent contest and a few

lucky students received goody bags to take home. The newly elected student council

efficiently managed the crowd and took care of the celebrity guests.

To help bridge the gap between students and

teachers, a healthy staff-parent relationship and

communication is invaluable, and the KS5 Coffee

FOUNDER’S DAY ASSEMBLY

Diyafah was a sea of pink as it commemorated its Founder’s Day on Tuesday, 3rd November.

Founder’s Day assembly is a tradition followed at ADHS every year. Generations have gone through

Diyafah School but this day in her memory has been celebrated with much solemnity by staff and

pupils of Diyafah school ever since and will. On this Special day, the staff and students came in the

best of their pink attire to observe the Pink Day and raise an awareness towards Breast Cancer. This

year too, at the special assembly organized by Year 13, students lit candles and placed flowers in her

memory. Many of the guests, including the school Chairman, Governors and Parent Council members

were moved by the performance, which included a short skit and montage of all 34 years of Al

Diyafah. Students presented their warm thoughts through insightful poems and reflective speeches.

Veteran teachers who had worked with Mrs. D’Cunha were felicitated.

The Founder’s Day celebrations concluded with the inauguration of the new Sixth Form annexe, a

testament of how far Mrs Winnie's dream has come. The new annexe was named the ‘Winnie D’Cunha

Sixth Form Centre’.

In response to the initiative of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin

Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and

Ruler of Dubai, launched through his Twitter account, ADHS

participated in the initiative of raising the UAE flag

simultaneously with other members of the UAE community at

12 noon, 3rd November. Students, teachers and staff gathered

in the basketball court to raise the UAE flag at 12 noon in the

presence of the Management and the Senior leadership team.

They then sang in unison with the National Anthem which was

An excerpt from the write up by the Head Girl,

Sowmya Gopalakrishnan from 12G :

STUDENT COUNCIL ASSEMBLY

STUDENT COUNCIL WORKSHOP

It was facilitated by our Principal and Head of school, who conducted the workshop

with the theme, ‘leadership and teamwork’.

The success criteria of the workshop involved recognizing leadership qualities and

working together as a team in order to optimally complete a specific task, in this case,

building a paper airplane.

The students were divided into 7 groups, and each group had a leader. The leader

planned a lesson separately while the remaining group members took part in a paper

folding activity that illustrated that everyone is unique. Finally, the group leaders

taught the members how to make the plane and each plane was tested to see how far

it went. Overall, it was an enthralling experience that will be etched in our memories

forever.

STUDENT FEEDBACK

Sixth Form is an invigorating experience. As unsettling as the

idea seemed at first, it seems to grow on you. It is definitely

an adventure that most of us are savoring, and with the help of

our teachers, the transition seemed even smoother. Year 13

sounds a little taxing, but it actually is a lot of fun.

NAJMUS

YEAR 13

I would describe year 12 as a roller coaster ride . There were highs and

there were lows. It was fast paced and at times there was a moment

where you waited for the drop.There is a vast difference between year 11

and sixth form , one such example is that in Year 11 everything was done

for us . We were pushed by our teachers to excel constantly. Sixth form

is where we push ourselves , though we feel like the teachers are not

there , they are silently molding us. They set up career fairs for us to get

a better look at life outside of school life , our counselors tirelessly work

with us to make life long choices and dealing with our constantly changing

decisions . If I had to use one word to describe Sixth Form it would be

"different" . A different perspective on life , different career choices ,

different changes , different teachers , a different experience all

together.

SARAH

Year 13

The ADHS Sixth Form can best be described as the final launch pad to our lives ahead, be it

through the myriad opportunities like community service, various character building responsibilities

and duties, or the invaluable Career Guidance Interface. We are aptly facilitated in our endeavours

by the exclusive Sixth Form building, as well as the tireless and dedicated efforts of our teachers;

and overall, we feel well equipped in tackling this crucial stage in our lives.
