Reach British School celebrates Guinness World Record

Reach students set two Guinness World Records in Cybersecurity education, excelling in gamified training and cyberbullying lessons, showcasing their digital safety commitment.

Reach British School has helped set two Guinness World Records in Cybersecurity education, thanks to the Cyber Defense Day Programme by the Ministry of Education and the Cybersecurity Council of UAE. This innovative initiative equips students with essential cybersecurity skills and fosters resilience against cyber-attacks.

Last year, our school participated in the programme, contributing to the largest gamified cybersecurity training and the largest cyberbullying lesson.

Mr Aavish Parayag, Secondary IT teacher, who led these lessons, expressed his pride: “We are incredibly proud that Reach British School, in collaboration with other schools in the UAE, has achieved this great milestone. This remarkable achievement showcases our commitment to providing innovative, engaging and meaningful learning experiences for our students.”

Our International Secondary School students also shared their excitement about being part of this achievement:

• Michelle: "I am grateful to have been a part of setting this Guinness World Record. It signifies not only a remarkable achievement but also a strong dedication to safeguarding our digital presence."
• Ahmad: "I feel privileged to receive the Guinness World Record certificate for Cybersecurity. I extend my gratitude to Reach British School and Mr Aavish for guiding me through this significant milestone."
• Dana: " Through learning about cybersecurity and the dangers of cyberbullying, I am inspired to be more responsible in my online activities." 

Congratulations to all the students who embraced this groundbreaking event, showcasing resilience and the joy of continuous growth.  

At Reach, digital transformation is part of our culture of safeguarding, continuous learning and life skills initiatives.
