SCHOOL PODCASTS

Students at Aspen Heights British School have taken the initiative to amplify the voices and stories of the school community, by starting a podcast named “Ahlan @ Aspen “. This podcast, entirely created and produced by students, offers a fresh and engaging perspective on life at Aspen Heights British School. “Ahlan” is an Arabic term that means “welcome,” and it reflects the warm and inclusive atmosphere of our school community. This student-led podcast has quickly become an exciting platform where students, teachers, and staff come together to discuss a wide range of topics, showcasing the diverse talents and interests within the school.
