At CIS, we encourage well-rounded development of our students, encompassing academics, co-curricular activities, and extra-curricular activities. While academics sharpen intellectual skills, taking part in activities outside of the classroom teaches invaluable life skills such as teamwork, leadership, respect, self-worth, and commitment.

We recognize the importance of the school as the community center and the important part that co-curricular and extra-curricular activities play in enhancing academic performance AND in developing well-rounded individuals. CIS sponsors both co-curricular and extra-curricular activities and cooperates fully with off campus activities agencies in order to provide those experiences for our students at all levels.

Activities include both individual pursuits and team building activities for students from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Students may choose from a wide variety of activities that can include (but are not limited to) : Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Swimming, TaeKwonDo Club, Mad Science, Art Club, Photography Club, Improv Club, French Club, Band and Choir, Newspaper and Yearbook Club, Experiential Field Trips, School-Wide Celebrations, Student Council, Dramatic Productions, Plus many, many more!

Announcements regarding clubs are generally made through the school’s Daily Announcements, TV Announcements, or made by the teachers themselves at school.

STUDENT BEHAVIOR

EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS

1. Students are expected to behave responsibly in and out of school and to consider themselves as representatives of the school and its traditions at all times.
2. School property is to be respected.
3. Students will display good manners at all times, and be courteous to each other as well as staff members and visitors to the school.
4. Students are expected to be punctual and present for all classes unless ill.
5. The completion of all assigned schoolwork is the responsibility of the student. This means being organized, making good use of class time, completing all assigned homework, asking for help when necessary, and completing any missed assignments due to being absent.

6. While on school property students must remain in designated areas, as determined by members of staff.
7. Adherence to the uniform code is required during the school day and when representing the school. Students are expected to wear the school uniform properly at all times, unless informed otherwise by the school.
8. Students are expected to comply with the directions of administrators, teachers, student teachers, teacher assistants and other authorized school personnel.
9. Students are expected to move in a safe manner while in the school. We expect students to walk—not run—when moving within the building.
10. Students are strongly urged not to bring personal valuables to school. Please be aware that it is the sole responsibility of each student to care for personal items. The school is NOT responsible for lost or stolen items.

11. Students and parents are expected to respect and celebrate personal, cultural, and religious differences.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Optimum learning takes place only when students approach their work with intention and integrity. It is vital, therefore, that students are aware of situations that may arise whereby they are tempted to act dishonestly and of the consequences of these acts. In order to prevent situations where cheating or plagiarizing may take place, students will learn how to properly document sources (e.g. bibliography, endnotes, quotations) and will be taught effective study skills. Parents should also take care that when helping their students with projects, assignments, etc. that they encourage their students to do their own work and resist the temptation to do it for the student.

Part of learning is making mistakes—it is important to allow your children to make them too!

Appropriate consequences (academic penalties, etc.) will apply to acts of plagiarism, cheating, collusion, or other acts through which a student unfairly misrepresents his/her effort or achievement.

“Plagiarism” occurs when a student knowingly represents any idea or work of another person in any academic assignment, test, or examination as his or her own.
“Cheating” occurs when a student obtains an unfair advantage over other students in the context of reparation or performance of any academic assignment, test, or examination.
“Collusion” occurs when a student knowingly allows his or her work to be submitted by another student.

IN-SCHOOL INITIATIVES

At CIS, we endeavor to make our school a home away from home for our children.

We actively encourage all students – from the little KG children to our Grade 12 students – to interact with each other through various school programs.

Helping others is contagious and at CIS, we teach our students how to be positive members of the community. One of the ways that we encourage this is through our Bucket Filler program. The concept behind the program is that everyone has an invisible bucket and when our buckets are full, we feel good! By doing and saying kind things to others, we fill their buckets, and in return ours are filled, too.

HOUSE LEAGUE

Each child is assigned a house and this house will stay with them throughout their time at CIS. The house is an integrated mix of all students from KG1 through to Grade 12, with all students working together in friendly competition with the other houses. Students can earn points for their house by doing good deeds, being helpful, following directions, or being a good friend.

Students can earn points for their house for good behavior such as good attendance or following directions. House points are updated weekly.

AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS & ACTIVITIES

At Canadian International School, we believe in a holistic approach to learning and encourage our students to broaden their horizons and explore their talents by participating in one of our after-school clubs. Clubs generally meet once a week and include a wide range of opportunities for activities including, but not limited to, photography, drama, sports, band, and art.

ATHLETICS

Our CIS Athletics department proudly runs competitive sport teams for U9 to Varsity level athletes. As a member of ADISSA (and networking partner with many schools across Abu Dhabi,) CIS can offer a variety of teams in the following sports:

Swimming, Touch Rugby, Basketball, Volleyball, Football, Netball, Cricket, Underwater Hockey, Zumba, Gymnastics, Softball, Badminton, Cross County Running, and Triathlon. There are over 30 teams across the grade levels, providing equal opportunity for both boys and girls. Additionally, CIS hosts an annual Grizzlies Varsity Volleyball Tournament for our senior teams.

“Max” our school mascot comes out for support for many of our home games, tournaments and intramural opportunities within our House League system. Hope to see you on the field or in the cheering squad. Go Grizzlies!
