GEMS Royal Dubai School

Our Deputy Principal of Secondary, Zaineb Mahdi, joined Georgia Tolley on The Agenda on Dubai Eye 103.8 to discuss the proposed social media restrictions for young people and what they could mean for our community.

The discussion explored the impact of social media on young people, the opportunities and challenges it presents, and how schools can support families in helping children develop healthy, safe and responsible online habits.

At GEMS Royal Dubai School, we believe that digital wellbeing is a shared responsibility. Through our curriculum, digital safety education, and ongoing guidance, we are committed to supporting families as they navigate an ever-changing online world.

Stories came to life at RDS today!📚✨

In celebration of World Book Day, our students across every year group immersed themselves in a series of interactive workshops led by Shakespeare & Co, where English and Performing Arts came together to spark creativity, imagination and confidence.

From stepping into the shoes of iconic characters to bringing stories off the page and onto the stage, it was a morning filled with laughter, learning and unforgettable moments.

Now it’s your turn… 👀

Learning has never been so exciting! 🔬💡

It may look like play, but in Early Years, every moment has a purpose.

Through building, exploring, creating, sharing and imagining, our youngest learners are developing the foundations for everything that comes next.

This is where the Royal Standard begins - with curiosity, creativity and meaningful experiences that help children discover who they are and how they learn best.
