Fairgreen’s Science Teacher Mr. Adam Hall recently accepted an award as one of the “Top 50 Organizations in Education” at the Global Forum for Education & Learning in Dubai for his work in creating A Million Solar Stars (MSS), a solar education programme implemented in various schools across the globe that gives students the opportunity to develop solar energy solutions to power schools.
The head of our ‘Design, Engineer, Construct’ course, Mr. Samuel Landete, recently accepted the Middle East Consultant Editor’s Choice Award for the DEC programme on behalf of Alison, Watson, CEO of Class of Your Own, the UK-based non-profit that founded this incredible, unique curriculum that helps students develop a range of skills and knowledge fundamental to successful engagement in technical and professional aspects of the Construction and Built Environment sector of industry.
Fairgreen's Technology Specialist Mr. Matt Backus arranged for a series of valuable visits from a Senior Apple Professional Learning Specialist. Students and teachers have benefitted from this experience by learning how to optimize use of Apple/iPad products.
Congratulations to the first cohort of Fairgreen teachers and staff who voluntarily completed the ".b Foundations" Teacher Mindfulness course, an 8-week program developed by the Mindfulness in Schools Project (MiSP), a UK-based non-profit established in 2009 to help improve the mental health and wellbeing of children. Our Head of Counseling Mrs. Jackie Greenwood is the only MiSP-trained teacher in Dubai who is certified to teach this course.
Fairgreen students run a plastic collection programme on campus that repurposes used plastic bottles into t-shirts. Recently, Grade 5 students partook in a desert clean-up and learned firsthand just how important this effort is.
Fairgreen is proud to be a part of The Sustainable City in Dubai, modelled to become an international showcase for sustainable living, work, education, and recreation. Recently awarded as Dubai’s happiest community, this pioneering development will enable Fairgreen students to experience sustainable living in action, and access the city’s unique resources such as a dedicated biodome with aquaponics and urban farming equipment, the Equestrian Centre and the Innovation Centre.
