 Welcome

This week sees 460 competitors from 16 schools come together for
3 days of activities. Every one of the students will have trained hard
and will be aiming to do their very best (and perhaps beat their very
best) in the competitions to come. We wish them all success in this.
Not everyone will win, but if we give our best, both as an individual
or as a teammate, we know we could not have done any more.

Please also take the opportunities presented this week to also extend
the hand of friendship to all. Sport is the focus that brings us all
together, but let us also enjoy the company and camaraderie this
brings. Let us depart at the end of the week with all of us having done
our bit to make these Games as good as they can possibly be for
everyone else too.

The British International School Abu Dhabi is very proud to host this
I am delighted to be able to welcome all students, coaches, parents and supporters year’s Games. For the next 3 days our home is your home and we are
to the 2019 Under 11 BSME Games here at the British International School Abu delighted to have you with us. Enjoy every moment and take away
Dhabi. those precious memories that will stay with you forever.

BSME is a wonderful organisation which helps bring students and schools together Now...... Let The Games Begin!
to benefit all involved. Their ongoing efforts provide students with opportunities
which they would not otherwise have and which single schools could not provide. Patrick Horne

 During the three days of competition, athletes will face a
variety of different challenges. Some will be physical, some
will be psychological, some challenges will be larger than
others, some will be individual, and some will challenge the
whole squad. All will require resilience, determination and
support from friends to overcome. This is what the BSME
games offers; the opportunity to challenge and test yourself
against others and against yourself, whilst having a good
time doing it.

As a school community we will support and assist you in any

way we can to make sure your BSME games experience is
one you will remember for a long time.

Ryan Baker
Welcome all athletes, coaches and families to BIS Abu Dhabi. As a school Director of Sport
community, we are very proud to be hosting The BSME games and are looking
forward to celebrating your success over the three days of events.

At BIS Abu Dhabi we are fortunate to have outstanding facilities that can
accommodate the whole of the games on one site. Being able to hear and
see goals being scored, personal best’s being achieved, and baskets being
dunked in from around different parts of the school site will create a superb
atmosphere.
