New Zealand's Anna Richards: "I don't want to put a limit, you've got to dream" (New Zealand)
New Zealand's four-time Women's Rugby World Cup winner and World Rugby Hall of Fame inductee Anna Richards believes you are never to young to stop learning and evolving and that there is no ceiling to the potential of women in rugby.
World Rugby Hall of Fame inductee Anna Richards has witnessed first hand the strides made by women in the sport over the past three decades.
Richards was required to pay her own travel expenses in order to represent New Zealand at the inaugural Women's Rugby World Cup in Wales in 1991. The union did not send a team to the next tournament in Scotland three years later.
By the time she walked away from the test arena in 2010 aged 45 and with a fourth Women's Rugby World Cup winner's medal dangling from her neck, however, the event had become a global showpiece.
Since that September afternoon at a sold-out Twickenham Stoop, Richards has continued to give back to the sport that provided so much, spending four years as Hong Kong women's sevens coach before returning home to New Zealand in December 2017. In March she took up a newly created role as women's player development manager at Auckland Rugby.
"It's been awesome," she said of the job. "Great guys there, really enjoying the atmosphere and the Auckland Rugby Union is very, very supportive of women's rugby which is great."
Not that Richards gave herself much time to settle into life at Eden Park. In April she coached the Women's Barbarians to their first test victory, a nail-biting 34-33 defeat of the USA in Colorado, and last week she was back in London to prepare the invitational side for their clash with England at Twickenham.

Bathroom Sink italian bathroom accessories Walnut Bathroom Accessories Stainless Bathroom Accessories Delta Bathroom Accessories Unique Bathroom Accessories Sparkle Bathroom Accessories
Washstand – A classic washstand can elevate a plain sink into something more interesting while adding a sense of space. In this smart powder room, it works perfectly with the vintage-style faucets, checkerboard floor tile and subway wall tile. A hexagonal mirror and armed wall lamps with shades also add a traditional touch.
Hair can require a lot of maintenance. From gels, to hairsprays, to curling irons, to hair dryers, to diffusers — the list of hair products never seems to end. Most bathroom vanities aren't set up for all this. Wires get tangled, countertops get burned — it's a mess. After years of designing custom bathroom furniture, The Furniture Guild has a solution.

I think this trend exploded in the eighties, usually in the same arrangement. It was a long counter atop a large clunky vanity that extended all the way to the floor. I'm not quite sure when the name "Jack and Jill Sinks" came about, but I suppose it had something to do with fetching a pail of water. Anyway, the days of the same old clunky vanity are long gone. Designers have created an endless variety of ways to arrange two sinks in bathrooms. Let's take a look at a few!
A lengthy sink calls for a skirt of doubled proportions. It adds softness to the space and is a perfect for hiding toiletries in the absence of bathroom cabinetry. Damask patterned skirts take on a more formal approach in this Mediterranean style bath. Choosing the right fabric will allow you to use sink skirt with a range of decor styles.
A long light colored counter, undermount sinks and unexpected large faucets keep this bathroom fresh and contemporary. Translucent doors, gorgeous wood, and hardware mounted to the walls are great accompaniments to these matching bowl sinks. This space saving industrial double sink is an all-time houzz favorite of mine.Here the sinks protrude from one long wood wall unit, giving it a long uniform look. It's a great contrast to the glass wall across from it.

Wallpaper removal can be a time consuming and difficult project to take on. There are many issues that can come up, too, that you may not be able to account for until the project is already started. For example, if your walls were not properly primed before the introduction of wallpaper, you may be in for some very nasty surprises when you peel a bit of the covering off. Poorly applied wallpaper can take your drywall covering or even parts of your drywall itself off with it. To avoid damaging your walls, hire our Emmetsburg wallpaper removal experts to take care of getting rid of that old wallpaper for you. It is crucial that wallpaper removal be done careful and with the proper tools, otherwise you'll create a bigger mess of your walls than what you started with. So let our Emmetsburg wallpaper removal experts take care of it for you, and rest assured you'll have a nicely cleaned wall ready for interior painting when they're done.
I agree with JHs. If there is no new color on it at all, just talk to the painter about it, if it was an honest mistake (which can happen very easily while painting) your painter should have no problem fixing it. However, in my years of experience, it is not unusual for 2 coats of door paint (good quality) not to cover very well at all. I once painted a red door 7 times, plus a tinted prime coat before I found the door to be a solid color.
Interior house painting costs are calculated on a few key factors. Nationally, interior house painting projects range from $200 to $2,500. The wide price range indicates how much square footage, paint selection and labor can affect cost. One pro uses a laser to measure each room, subtracting the size of the doors and windows, and then bases the quote on the square footage of the actual surfaces to be painted. Painters may provide you with savings if you opt to paint your entire home rather than just having one room or an accent wall painted. For example, the average house painting cost for an 8x12 room with 8-foot ceilings is roughly $200, when contractor-grade paint is used. Painting ceilings, baseboards and frames can also affect cost. Pros may charge per linear foot to smooth and paint baseboards. In one area pros might charge 50 cents per linear foot to paint baseboards, while pros in another part of the country could charge $1.50 per linear foot for the same task. Painters may charge flat rates for painting door and window frames, with one charging $20-$25 and another $60 per door. Geography and regional costs to do business play a major role in the cost of interior painting. The same painter in a rural region has less to pay in taxes, transportation, insurance and overhead than they would in a major city like New York.
State your expectations. The number of coats a painter applies isn't the only factor in determining the quality—and price—of the project. Preparation is also key. If you want a surface that's free of unevenness from past paint jobs, tell the contractors—and be prepared to pay extra. But if you can live with some imperfections, agree on what level of prep is acceptable and what isn't.

How Much To Paint Interior Of House Erie Colorado 80516
The article and comments were great information to have before deciding how to go about getting a painting job done. I think the important point is that there are several key choices (who to do the work; color, sheen, quality, of paint; how many coats; amount of prep/repairs to be done and by whom, how long the job will take, provisions for changes, how detailed the contract needs to be; advanced deposit/progress payments/final payment; final inspection, etc.) that need to be made and it requires advanced research and planning in order to become well enough informed to make the right choices. Then it requires spending sufficient time to check materials and inspect the quality of the work while it is on-going, raher than waiting to do it all at the end.

According to the EPA, professional painters must check for lead -- especially if a home was built before 1978. Many DIY painters forget to test for lead paint. Testing kits are available in home improvement stores for less than $40. You can also hire a lead testing and removal professional to do this work quickly and efficiently on your behalf. Lead paint can be dangerous; it's far better to find it before you put time and effort into painting your home than after the fact.
We had an absolutely amazing experience getting the interior of our house painted by Color World. Tom was quick to give us his time for a quote and go over all questions we had. Shell was informative …and very accurate on helping us choose our colors. They couldn't have sent a better crew of painters led by Shaun Childers. They have completely changed our lives and made our home something we are proud to show off and come home to. Highly Recommend! Flawless from start to finish! 😁 more »
It is often necessary to have a rental property painted -- whether it's to make it your own before you move in or to clean it up for someone new when you move out. Some buildings and landlords have pre-selected painters, while others will contract companies to paint on an as-needed basis. If your landlord or building doesn't have a pre-selected painter, see if you may be allowed to paint the walls yourself. If you're moving in and selecting a non-neutral color, understand that your landlord may require you to repaint the walls the original color when you move out -- and ensure that you're ready to make that investment down the road.

House Painting Cost Exterior Erie 80516
basic formula? single color exterior labor only ranges from $0.85 to $0.95 per sq foot as a BASE starting point. Prices go up depending on multiple colors, slope of surrounding areas, multiple stories..etc.Some painters charge per window to mask off. Ive seen $25 a window to $50. Interiors without flooring can be factored the same way. When you start having to do multiple colors, cut ins, masking, room isolation...etc. the price jumps considerably. I always start with a base of $0.85 a sq foot and figure it out from there. the season plays a major role too. paint and materials are charged separatly and are typically marked up at a minimum of 15%. I always tell clients this. that way they pick the paint out they want and what quality they want as well. Anyways...thats your base. 1250 sq foot home @ .0.95 a ft = $1,187.50 (one color). Pressure washing, Add another $45-$55 per hour. a 1250 sq ft home is not going to take longer than 2-3 hours if its a single story.

I would never suggest that one of my clients buy their own paint because A . They will pay an average of $20 to $30 more per gallon which could add up to $1,000 or more to a full repaint B. most times I'm in the paint store homeowners are kind of pushed to the foreground as they handle all the contractors in the store and C. Paint is heavy, takes up a lot of room needs to be left in it clean dry area and I hate to put a client to work when they are trying to hire me to do their job.

I totally agree with this as well. I think every time I have read Angie's List reports, they are inaccurate and not researched enough. I had COMPLETE faith in Angie but lately I am hesitate on reports. I would check your local hardware store or even your neighbors to get a recommendation for painters. If you liked what you saw, you can be stress free with your results. I live in Texas and I have borrowed my hardware store opinion bc that seems to be the place most of the contractors or painters come to buy stuff for the jobs. If your neighbors painters, contractors, electricians and plumbers have shown good results, stress free you. I have been stress free with results, glad I asked for other opinions.Don't forget, the Hardware Store knows if that person is trustworthy and honest, their accounts would be shut down.
Take and pass your contractor's certification exam. Like the licensing requirements, the content and format of the exam will vary depending on your location. However, the test will almost always include a comprehensive written section, on top of which you may be asked to describe or demonstrate key skills. Upon passing your exam, you'll have between 1 and 4 years to complete the process of formally registering your business.[10]

The last big decision is how to apply the paint. Most pros use paint sprayers because they're fast, but in inexperienced hands a high-powered sprayer can leave drips, thin coats, and a mist that may land on many things other than your siding. If you do hire a painter who uses a sprayer, make sure he is meticulous about removing, covering, or masking off everything in the area that might get hit with overspray: gutters, roofs, windows, shrubbery, walkways, cars—you name it.

James and all of his crew are truly experienced professionals. From beginning to end they were up front, honest, and fair. They did a beautiful and timely job and were knowledgeable about every step of the process. They patched windows and replaced a rotten wooden door without my even having to ask. I never felt the need to look over their shoulder because I was confident in both their skills and aesthetic. Andrew was the head guy assigned to my project and he couldn't have been more lovely to work with ( a bit of a language barrier, but we made it work). I would highly recommend this company and will look no further in the future. These are guys that take pride in their work.
This is the second time we've worked with House Painting, Inc. and we love them. For both our interior and then our exterior the job was done beautifully by incredibly pleasant and skilled workers. In both cases great care was taken to protect our furnishings/landscaping. The painters were conscientious, professional and thorough. The price was fair and represented great value for money, particularly given the quality of the personnel, the job and the customer service.
Vinyl siding is one of the more inexpensive siding materials to have repainted, especially with recent innovations in painting materials. Homeowners will first need to vinyl cleaned and repaired, and any clapboards or vinyl sections that have blown off because of climate conditions will need to be replaced. Painting professionals will apply paint quickly and easily over the vinyl siding, much like an interior paint job. The finish, however, may require extensive work and regular maintenance. Expect to pay between $600 (~250 sq. ft.) and $2,000 (~1,000 sq. ft.), with prices likely increasing for the finish. Changing the finish on your siding is not recommended unless it's completely degraded and worn away by the weather conditions. Home Painters Erie Colorado
I have a Home Improvement/Painting business, and Angie's List always advertises that that everyone is out to get them. Of course there are people who try to take advantage of homeowners My reputation and repeat business is based on word of mouth. Shoddy work is always a way to get put out of business quick. As far as strictly painting, preparation is a big factor in getting a quality paint job. If you don't prepare the surfaces you are painting you are spinning your wheels, and wasting money, no matter what paint you use. Getting a deposit from a customer is beneficial, but not always necessary. Sometimes it is a godsend, when you get stuck by the customer, which has happened to me more than once

These guys did a great job of repainting the outside of our house on short notice. Even with weather delays, they made every effort to come out and get the job done as soon as possible since I had a deadline from my realtor. The quality of work was fantastic which satisfied even my picky wife and everyone I interacted with was very professional from the owner Varga, to the work crew & the phone staff. I was very happy with elegant and I would recommend/ hire them again.read more

The question, "how is your warranty program funded?" will probably get you some puzzled responses. The fact is, most contractors have never even considered how to pay the expenses associated with warranty callbacks, and some contractors just seem to vanish when they get a warranty call. A professional contractor will be preparing for callbacks (they will happen, even to the best contractors) by including a line item in their budget for warranty work. Ask the question and see what kind of response you get. Sometimes, how the question is answered is more important than the answer itself!
My painter franchisee, who I got from Angie's List, must have found some shmucks on the corner to paint my house. I specifically said I wanted stain. First my house was painted the wrong color, Then it was painted with LATEX paint- not stain. Estimates to 'undo' the damage is around $10,000 and its not a guarantee that it will work. The work is at best amateurish. Many underpainted or not painted spots, drips, etc. They did the entire outside (scraping?, priming? caulking?, painting), cleaned up and left within the time I left for work and came home. There were thee of them (my neighbor told me) This was two years ago and I am still upset. Can't be fixed.

Your home's paint does more than accentuate the natural beauty and architecture of your home, it provides a barrier that prevents surface deterioration, water infiltration, mold and mildew growth, infestations from pests, and so much more. With Arizona Painting Company's Total Home Painting Diagnostics, we will analyze the exterior and interior paint of your home, which is the first step to improving your home's performance and creating a healthier home.
When selecting a color scheme for the home's exterior homeowners can choose color options that will correct flaws that they may feel exist with their home and property. Some examples include utilizing two shades of a single color to make a home appear appropriately sized when the home may be too large or too tall. To accomplish this effect individuals will want to place the darker tone on the upper level of the home's exterior. Smaller windows can appear more proportionately sized by trimming them in a lighter tone of paint. Darker colors make a space or feature appear smaller. The same effect can be obtained for homes positioned further away from a curb. By using lighter tones the home will not feel camouflaged.

Diving while snorkeling requires that you learn to force your ears to "pop" to equalize pressure and swim below the surface more comfortable. You also need to practice expelling water from your snorkel by forcing a strong burst of air through the tube as you clear the water's surface. Special "purge snorkels" are available on the market for those who want an extra line of protection against getting water in your mouth.
Snorkeling (British and Commonwealth English spelling: snorkelling) is the practice of swimming on or through a body of water while equipped with a diving mask, a shaped breathing tube called a snorkel, and usually swimfins. In cooler waters, a wetsuit may also be worn. Use of this equipment allows the snorkeler to observe underwater attractions for extended periods with relatively little effort and to breathe while face-down at the surface.
Northern California beaches. They tend to be cold and windy, and Ocean Beach is no exception. There are those glorious warm days that happen a few times per year in the Fall. If you choose this location for a photo shoot make sure that you wear layers at this location. And arm yourself with hair ties and clips, because it can get windy. Take it from me, a family photographer (K. Sienk Photography)! One cool feature that I really love about this beach as the graffiti on the walls towards the north end. Pros: Not crowded Parking is easy Large beautiful beach Cons: Windy Cold Not a lot of variety Great for: Family photo sessions, mini sessions, maternity sessions, milestone sessions in the first year, weekday and weekend sessions, toddlers who like to run around. Not good for: trying to avoid wind. www.ksienkphotography.com
How committed are you to summer's crochet trend? Mildly, like only-buy-one-top-and-wear-it-on-a-summer-Friday committed, or full-blown, let's-make-everything-crochet committed? It seems like fashion brands are betting on the latter, as crochet bikinis and one-pieces once again rank highly among swimwear offerings this season. And you can choose your own adventure—or, rather, take on the trend: Go subtle with a crochet trim lining a triangle-top bikini, or embrace the texture with a fully crocheted one-piece. Just don't be surprised when you lock eyes with another crochet-loving beach-goer over the next few months.

While the two-piece swimsuit as a design existed in classical antiquity,[8] the modern design first attracted public notice in Paris on July 5, 1946.[9] French automotive engineer Louis Réard introduced a design he named the "bikini", adopting the name from the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean,[10][11] which was the colonial name the Germans gave to the atoll, transliterated from the Marshallese name for the island, Pikinni.[12]
With so many great destinations available in the Caribbean, you may have a hard time deciding exactly where to go. Islands like Anguilla, St Barts, the BVI and the US Virgin Islands offer a diverse choice of accommodations, activities and restaurants. You can get your scuba diving certification, go hiking to scenic waterfalls and book massages. There is great choice of small intimate hotels with an emphasis on personal service, and larger resorts offering water slides, pools and kids' clubs. Among the top all-inclusive options in the Caribbean are Bolongo Bay which offers live entertainment, Couples Swept Away for honeymooners and Jumby Bay where you can an amazing variety of sea life.
To measure your foot length, sit down on a chair and place your foot flat on a piece of paper. Trace the foot by holding a pencil vertically and outlining the foot. The longest toe and back of heel are the most important measurements. Using a ruler, measure the distance from the bottom of the heel to the tip of the longest toe. Record the result in both inches and centimeters and use these measurements to find your size in the chart. If one foot is larger than the other, the measurements for the larger foot should be used.
Located on the eastern coast of Malaysia, the Perhentians consist of two islands. Both are stunningly covered with a lot of palm trees, wide beaches, and crystal blue water. There's not much to do here, and visitors typically lay on the beach all day, resting from last night's drinking. It's the perfect place to put up a hammock. A strong monsoon season limits when to go to between March and October. During the other times, it's best to head to Thailand, where the weather is nicer.
After making sure your equipment works and fits, do a test run. Get used to breathing out of a snorkel. Swim around a pool if necessary. Get used to the feeling first. If you are in a beach, start by swimming around the shallow area before plunging into the deep. By practicing, you are getting yourself used to the feeling of swimming around and breathing through the snorkel. Remember to always keep the top of the snorkel afloat. If water comes in, you can easily blow the water out.
An island may be described as such, despite the presence of an artificial land bridge; examples are Singapore and its causeway, and the various Dutch delta islands, such as IJsselmonde. Some places may even retain "island" in their names for historical reasons after being connected to a larger landmass by a land bridge or landfill, such as Coney Island and Coronado Island, though these are, strictly speaking, tied islands. Conversely, when a piece of land is separated from the mainland by a man-made canal, for example the Peloponnese by the Corinth Canal or Marble Hill in northern Manhattan during the time between the building of the United States Ship Canal and the filling-in of the Harlem River which surrounded the area, it is generally not considered an island.

Hi everyone, I live in Townsville, in Northern Australia, with our own tropical island – Magnetic Island – just off shore. It is hot here, I would guess about 35 degrees. While you are rugged up, I am in bathers with my hair up, sitting under a ceiling fan, dreaming of somewhere cooler! Most days here are hot with blue skies, we love it when it rains. Cheers. Jan

Just bought the Super Snorkel and brought it to Montauk last weekend. Boy was it a hit! Everyone wanted to try out the snorkel. We even had people who had been snorkeling for years there. They were blown away by the performance. It is amazing to be able to go underwater WITHOUT anything in your mouth. No more jaw tightness from calming on the snorkel mouthpiece. I can't wait to use it again on our next trip, or even at the pool.
String bikinis and other revealing clothes are common in surfing, though most surfing bikinis are more robust with more coverage than sunning bikinis.[202][203] Surfing Magazine printed a pictorial of Kymberly Herrin, Playboy Playmate March 1981, surfing in a revealing bikini, and eventually started an annual bikini issue.[204] The Association of Surfing Professionals often pairs female surf meets with bikini contests, an issue that divides the female pro-surfing community into two parts.[205] It has often been more profitable to win the bikini contest than the female surfing event.[206]
Some commercial snorkeling organizations require snorkelers at their venue to wear an inflatable vest, similar to a personal flotation device. They are usually bright yellow or orange and have a device that allows users to inflate or deflate the device to adjust their buoyancy. However, these devices hinder and prevent a snorkeler from free diving to any depth. Especially in cooler water, a wetsuit of appropriate thickness and coverage may be worn; wetsuits do provide some buoyancy without as much resistance to submersion. In the tropics, snorkelers (especially those with pale skin) often wear a rashguard or a shirt and/or board shorts in order to help protect the skin of the back and upper legs against sunburn.[citation needed]
The greatest danger of snorkeling is that snorkelers are hard to spot in the water by jet skis and leisure crafts, since a diver is often submerged under water with only a tube sticking out of the water. Contact with poisonous coral, dehydration and hyperventilation are other health hazards. Sun burn is also common as the back is exposed to the sun when spending long hours snorkeling.
Heim's atome was more in keeping with the sense of propriety of the 1940s, but Réard's design won the public's attention.[49] Although Heim's design was the first worn on the beach and initially sold more swimsuits, it was Réard's description of the two-piece swimsuit as a bikini that stuck.[9][64] As competing designs emerged, he declared in advertisements that a swimsuit could not be a genuine bikini "unless it could be pulled through a wedding ring."[10] Modern bikinis were first made of cotton and jersey.[65]

Inter legend Javier Zanetti has spoken about his career as well as talking about the current crop of players at the club.
The Argentine enjoyed a spectacular career at the Nerazzurri, a club where he spent nineteen years playing his trade.
"I had a long career because I love football. I did my job with great enthusiasm and professionalism, which is the most important thing for a player," said Zanetti to Sina TV.
"I was the captain for Inter for a long time," he added
"It was always an honor to wear the armband, now I try to teach all the members of the first team how to develop into greats based on my experiences."
The retired full-back admitted that he received many lucrative offers from big clubs around Europe.
"I received many offers from some of Europe's best, but I always said that my intention was to remain at Inter because I wanted to create history with this jersey.
"The victory in the Champions League was a great dream that became a reality. That night in Madrid is something I will never forget, and it will remain in the hearts of our fans and especially in the history of Inter."
The Inter vice president concluded by touching on Inter's current season.
"As for the current season, we are aware that we are lacking in a few things and there is a lot to do.
"Our goal was to return to the top and we're doing it.
"I hope that at the end of this season Inter finish strongly."

A mixed gender GEMS owned Foundation Stage to Year 6 school following the English National Curriculum, GEMS Royal Dubai School takes children from 3 to 11 years of age and, as of May 2016, is Mirdiff's first and currently only KHDA Outstanding-rated school. From small beginnings in 2005, when the school grew slowly in its initial years, Mirdiff's increasing popularity as a residential area, has ensured the GEMS Royal Dubai's development and growing appeal.
GEMS Royal Dubai School has been rated Outstanding for the fourth year running in the 2018-19 KHDA inspection process. An abbreviated version of the inspection report can be found under the Inspection tab. An update of this review will be completed once the full report has been issued.
The story so far...
GEMS Royal Dubai School is currently home to 1240 students, with 84 teachers, and 109 teaching assistants (a significant increase of over 40 compared with two years ago), giving the school the resources to be able to offer a good level of individual attention. The largest single demographic grouping of student is British, although over 60 nationalities are represented in total, and one in six of the school's pupils is Emirati. This is a highly inclusive school with approximately 10% of students having been identified as Students of Determination with SEND requirements.
GEMS Royal Dubai School follows the English National Curriculum (offering Foundation Stage and Key Stages 1 and 2), and has departments for Art, English/Literacy, Mathematics/Numeracy, Science, French, Arabic and Islamic Studies (from Year 1 onwards), ICT, Geography, History, Library, Social Studies, Music, Technology along with Physical Education (PE) and swimming.
Teachers are largely recruited from the United Kingdom, and the school currently enjoys a relatively low (and good) teacher turnover of 18% in the last academic year (compared with 12% a year ago). The teacher:student ratio is 1:15 - average for this tier of school.
As a GEMS school, the children in Year 6 are guaranteed a place in Year 7 at a number of colleges within the group including GEMS Wellington Academy Silicon Oasis, GEMS Wellington Academy Al Khail, GEMS FirstPoint and Bradenton Preparatory School without the need for an Entrance Test. However, none of these schools is currently rated as highly as GEMS Royal Dubai and, in the past, this seems to have affected the turnover of students, who appear to have left early in order to secure their Secondary place elsewhere. In the early 2010's, the school did briefly expand to include Secondary, but insufficient student numbers caused this section's closure.
Whilst it might have been appealing for parents nowadays, the school site is simply too small to accommodate the size of Secondary school needed to be able to offer an all-through option on one site. Given that the number of students on roll has remained stable over the past 3 years, it is perhaps now the case that parents have growing confidence in their Secondary options elsewhere within the GEMS group.
Students identified with SEND seem to have declined sharply. Four years ago, some 27% of GEMS Royal Dubai's pupils were identified as having mild SEND requirements, including learning delay, mild behaviour difficulties, dyslexia and dyscalculia. In 2017-18, it is less than 10%. It is not clear if this is a real decline in numbers, or a question of definition.
GEMS Royal Dubai occupies a building that is traditional in appearance although only a little over 10 years old. Facilities are by no means "old-fashioned" or traditional. They include classrooms are equipped with interactive boards and students have access to PCs, laptops, iPads and iTouchs. All technological applications used at GEMS Royal Dubai school are shared with parents so that students may continue their learning at home.
In addition, children have access to separate Foundation Stage and Primary libraries, a Multi Purpose Hall, Creative Arts taught in separate suites for Music, Drama and Art, a Mac Suite and ICT Suite, a Foundation Stage Creative Learning Zone and a Science Laboratory. Students from Year 2 can enjoy the catering available in the School Canteen, whilst parents are able to meet and relax in the Community Café. Outdoor facilities include basketball, netball and tennis courts, a sports field for soccer and other ball sports, and two swimming pools; one learner pool (0.5m depth) and a 25m six lane pool (1.5m depth).
There had been some grumbling about access to, and parking at the school; however, the school has told WhichSchoolAdvisor.com that Arabian Shopping has ample parking, and the pedestrian crossing ensures a safe place to cross.
The school provides a number of after school and extra-curricula activities (including swimming lessons, ballet, karate, music, art, computers, clay modeling, chess, cookery and Indian dancing). Paid activities are provided by outside providers through E-sports and Academy Plus with payment made directly to the outside provider.
What the inspectors say
In the 2017-18 KHDA inspection, which took place in January 2018, GEMS Royal Dubai School was rated Outstanding by the DSIB Inspection team for the second time over the three year period from 2015-16. The reason for this anomaly is that GEMS Royal Dubai was one of the Outstanding rated schools that took part in the KHDA's Abundance mentoring project in 2016-17, and was not, therefore, inspected.
Two years after the initial Outstanding rating, GEMS Royal Dubai has continued to make or maintain improvements in performance across the key indicators for the most part, and in the majority on non-Arabic core subjects, attainment and progress were deemed to be Outstanding. There has been some slippage in Students' Achievement in the Primary section (as distinct from the Foundation Stage), notably in regard to progress in Mathematics (which has dropped from Outstanding to Very Good) and in the Primary section's learning skills (the same downgrade).
Conversely, attainment in Mathematics and English have moved up to Very Good (for English across the school), and progress in Primary Science is now rated Outstanding. Interestingly, key measures for Arabic as a first and second language and for Islamic Studies are rated almost universally Good, the sole exception being progress in Arabic as a first language, which remains Acceptable. This is something of achievement, since many Dubai schools struggle to move their Arabic ratings beyond Acceptable.
Inspectors commented that the strengths of the school lie in the fact that:
Students' personal and social development and their Innovation skills were found to be Outstanding across both phases with inspectors commenting that "A spirit of innovation is a key feature, witnessed in students across both phases and flourishing in science. The exemplary behaviour of students is matched by excellent staff relationships."
The quality of teaching is an evident strength of GEMS Royal Dubai, although stronger in the Foundation stage than in the Primary School. "The quality of teaching is outstanding in the Foundation Stage. It remains very good in the primary phase. The school has a well understood model for what they view to be outstanding teaching, learning and assessment. Teachers' planning is well-informed by assessment and meets the needs of almost all students." Improving standards in the Primary section will clearly be a focus for the school over the current academic year and beyond.
At the core of the school's success clearly lies the curriculum in terms of its delivery and its adaptation to meet the needs of all students - both rated Outstanding. Inspectors commented that "The highly effective curriculum implementation and adaptation are strong features of the school. The curriculum is well received by students. Opportunities for creativity and innovation are evident in most subjects particularly science. These are enhanced through competitions and extracurricular activities."
Aside from the academic elements, GEMS Royal Dubai is also a caring and inclusive school. The Protection, Care, Guide and Support of students is also rated Outstanding. The support for students with SEND requirements has also been evaluated as Outstanding in this inspection (up from Very Good) and is a significant achievement. Few schools are deemed to provide this level of provision. Inspectors noted that "The inclusion champion and senior management team hold themselves collectively accountable both for the school's inclusive ethos and the outcomes for students with SEND. Strategic planning and regular reviews result in very effective provision. Highly strategic and collaborative practices accurately identify the needs of students with SEND. The school maintains valuable professional links to refer students for on-going assessment and subsequently adapted support."
Clearly, for any school to operate effectively, the leadership and management of the school are key. Indeed, this was stressed by the head of the KHDA, Dr. Abdulla Al Karam during the announcement of the inspection results for 2017-18. It would seem that many schools could emulate the leadership at GEMS Royal Dubai. The inspection team stated that "Leaders at all levels, including the principal are committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for all students. Relationships are excellent and parents value deeply the diligence and care provided by the school. Strategic school-improvement planning and improving teachers' performance, are given priority. Governors are supportive and ensure compliance with all requirements. The outstanding culture of innovation is attributed to visionary leadership." High praise indeed!
Of course, there are areas in which GEMS Royal Dubai still needs to make improvements. The inspection team identified the need to:
Parents in general have very positive feelings towards the school, with good feedback on the level of friendliness and helpfulness of teachers. The KHDA inspection team commented that "Parental involvement is encouraged, welcomed and documented in school policy. Parents, students and teachers work together with a sense of common purpose to achieve the best possible outcomes. Parents volunteer and workshops are held on curricular matters." 91% of parents who responded to the pre-inspection survey expressed themselves satisfied with the quality of education their child is receiving. However, some concerns were raised in relation to class sizes - an issue that has arisen at other popular GEMS schools where class sizes of 27 in Primary are not unusual.
Based on the WhichSchoolAdvisor.com Parent Survey for GEMS Royal Dubai, 79% of parents are satisfied with the level of academic performance of the school (well above the 63% UAE average). 79% of respondents also said that they would recommend the school to other parents.
School fees are mid to top end of the range - but not out of the ordinary for a British curriculum school from a top tier private education provider. They start at AED 37,554 for FS1 and rise to AED 47,351 per annum for FS2 to Year 6.

My daughter Areesha studied in this school in FS2 under Mrs. Laura Palmer and teaching assistant Ms. Una. Focus of the school is more on other activities than core learning. At the end of the year she couldn't count from 1 to 20. She didn't learn to read simple two or three letter words. In deed, the whole year was just a waste as she was not given admission in grade 1 in Choueifat DIP Branch. They assessed her twice and found her suitable for KG2 only. So, now she is repeating KG2 thanks to GRDS. I hold GRDS responsible for the waste of my daughter's one year of school.
In addition to what I'm basil said.... she probably learned many more skills which children need at such a young age. The fs stage focuses on developing their love for learning and do an amazing job. I have children that come to me who write pages once in year one. Please remember in fs1 they are only 3-4 years old. If you expect her to be reading at that age then I would have to say you have unrealistic expectations.
Fs2 is equal to kg1 so she is doing good and year one is equal to kg2

The chords of my guitar
Reads: 11765 | Likes: 24 | Shelves: 6 | Comments: 18
Poem by: jaylisbeth
Broken guitar....
Strumming my guitar as gently as can be,
My heart breaking apart right in front of me.
Loosened chords; an acoustic sound,
Desperate wails I wish to drown.
Searching for valor that I lack,
While ballads play right in the back.
A hostage heart begins to ache,
And fragile cords begin to break.
The silence's loud and unforgiving,
I can't afford this cost of living.
An injured soul with broken wings,
A faulty heart just like my strings.
Useless guitar that's very old,
My scorn I gave for it to hold.
Stagnant time and obscure days,
This guitar I'll set ablaze.
Except my heart won't be free,
Because this guitar belongs to me.

Useless guitar; that's very old! Ohhh woww such an amazing piece love
Like water from a spring your words flow with no effort I really liked this one -:)
Good poem. If there's nothing else left, there's always the guitar you can turn to.
Poetry and music go together so well and you mixed them both perfectly Jaylisbeth...Tom...
Music can be happy, music can be sad, a poem that is penned by you, never will be bad.
Sorry, couldn't resist it, jaylisbeth. Excellent comparison, a lot of feeling. Good job!
Excellent, but sad song, J.B!
Lovely rhythm to this poem flows really nicely
"Strumming my guitar, as gently as can be... " Such beautiful imagery my amazing Princess friend! You once again hit home runs! Yours is a legacy of lovely images!
Can you play the guitar? Very nice poem. Are you taking out on the guitar?
I acn't let you do that. Your rhyming is spot on!
I love this! Amazing!
Very touching and beautifully written. You have a talent for writing poetry. I love it. And thank you for reading so much of my autobiography. I hope you'll be back to read more. I will certainly be back to read more.
My interpretation of this is that her heart is her main guitar, and when it is broken, the strings on her playing guitar are broken, and so she cannot play anymore because the emotion of both her heart and the music is dead. I really find the imagery beautiful behind this piece, and you bring a realistic pain that is not fiction, it is real life. The rhyming is the key to your pieces, because it is that emotional touch added to your metaphors. Beautiful little piece Lisbeth. Your writing is full of heart, and it shows that you have one. Booksie is very lucky to have you :)
I absolutely love this! Thank you once again for this beautiful piece of writing.
