Annual Sports Day 2023

On February 8 and 9, 2023, the eagerly anticipated Annual Sports Day took place amid much passion, enthusiasm, and good times. Pupils, teachers, and parents all gather together for a day of competitive exercise on sports day. While some schools decide to award medals or prizes to the winners of the different competitions, for others, simply participating is a reward in and of itself. In his opening remarks, our school's director welcomed the distinguished audience and stressed the value of sports in a student's life. The Faculties, Mr. Jamil, our Sports Head, and the Director severed the ribbon to officially kick off the event to loud applause and music. The students entered into the spirit of the occasion in a grand way. An energizing equestrian display set the tone for the rest of the events. Once the event began, the air was filled with cheering and encouragement for the young athletes.

Students from different grades including pre-primary and final-year students of DP and WACE competed in different events. The games included running events like sprints, shot put, sack race, memory games, math race, and Spoon race there were also a few activities for the teachers. A tug-of-war between parents and teachers added to the enjoyment of the day with all spectators cheering at the top of their voices for their preferred teams.

There were various winners in various contests over the course of the two days of the event, and each winner received a trophy. The yearly sports day came to a successful conclusion with much happiness and a little sadness because the fun is over. Our directors, principals, and organizers gave a speech as the program came to a close, after which they gave the students their prizes. The significance of sports day at school cannot be overstated because it is a chance to highlight extracurricular activities and show that education is about more than just scholastic success. It is also about being part of a supportive and productive community. Physical exercise is something that teachers should ensure they encourage. Indeed, they should teach learners and parents to take up healthy habits that will last them throughout their lives. And holding a school sports day can be a brilliant way to do that, particularly if the teachers themselves get involved in the races and competitions too.

Cooking Up a Storm with IBDP Students

The students of DP Year 1 and DP ear 2 got to experience several immersive cooking lessons throughout the past few weeks, as part of their CAS activities. Gaining notoriety for being a fan- favorite class amongst students, they have gained a lot of experience and knowledge by using hands-on approaches in cooking and preparing the ingredients. Mr. Asad has been a wonderful guide and taught as many skills as possible including how to use a knife, how to chop vegetables and similar skills. Students were encouraged to participate in cooking by ‘sharpening’ their knife skills, helping prepare the ingredients for assembly, and taking turns in stirring or frying various items on the portable electric stoves provided. During the first class, the students got to partake in making ‘palak pakoda’, or more commonly known as spinach pakora. Each student had their own share in creating the batter, cutting the spinach stems (as well as dicing leafy, fresh toppings) and frying the crunchy snac...
