At The British School of Córdoba, students are encouraged to explore their interests in ways that make a real impact on others. One of the most impressive examples this year is the CAS project created by Haieqa Nadeem, a member of our Head Student Team and a positive role model whose dedication has inspired younger learners throughout the school.
Haieqa set herself the challenge of making a complex but important biological process understandable for primary students. What began as a simple idea soon developed into a rich, multi-faceted project that combined teaching, leadership, creativity, and scientific communication. She delivered lessons to younger classes, using age-appropriate explanations and interactive activities to help students grasp how cells work and why they matter. Their enthusiasm motivated her to take the project even further.
Drawing on her love for both science and storytelling, Haieqa wrote The Secret Life of Cells: Microscopic Missions, a book that introduces children to the microscopic world inside the human body. Each cell takes on a character and a mission, turning scientific concepts into an engaging narrative that helps young readers connect with the subject in a meaningful way. The project has already sparked conversations and curiosity well beyond her initial classroom sessions.
Haieqa’s work reflects the spirit of initiative and leadership we aim to cultivate at The British School of Córdoba. Her ability to teach, inspire, and create something lasting demonstrates the potential students can reach when they are supported to pursue their ideas with confidence.
Families who join our school can expect an environment where students are encouraged to explore their passions, share their learning, and make a positive contribution to the community.
