Every year, Reach British School eagerly joins the United Arab Emirates in celebrating UAE Flag Day, an occasion that holds great significance for us. As an international school located in Abu Dhabi, we take immense pride in actively participating in this joyous celebration. It serves as a symbol of our unwavering commitment to the nation’s leadership and a resounding affirmation of our deep sense of belonging to the United Arab Emirates.

As part of our tradition and commitment here at Reach, our students showcased their national pride by forming a human UAE flag. As they stand together, forming the UAE flag, they represent the values that the UAE Flag Day represents – unity, loyalty, and a shared vision for a prosperous future.

“We are honored to witness our students’ enthusiasm as they actively participate in this meaningful tradition, year after year. Their commitment to showcasing their national pride is truly remarkable and serves as a testament to the exceptional education and values instilled in them at Reach British School,” said our Principal, Mr. Craig Halsall.

“This year, the Reach British School commemorated Flag Day with an exciting event where all the students came together on the playground to create a human flag. This special day holds great importance as we honor the legacy of Sheikh Zayed, may God have mercy on him, and strive to fulfill his vision, which encompasses the core values of our school: safety, respect, and ambition,” added Mr. Osama ElSayed, our Head of Ministry of Education Subjects

On this UAE Flag Day, we extend our warmest wishes to all members of our school community and beyond. May this day be a reminder of the strength and unity that lies within us, as we join the entire nation in celebrating our beloved UAE. Happy UAE Flag Day!
