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.

Learning TOK in a fun way!

TOK, also known as Theory of Knowledge, plays a special role in the IB Diploma Programme as it helps students reflect on the nature of knowledge and understand how they know what they know. Since the beginning of the new academic year, DP-1 students have started to take a look at the concepts and ideas of TOK. TOK has over 12 concepts which includes: Power, Culture, Responsibility, Truth, Perspective, Values, Objectivity, Justification, Evidence, Explanation, Interpretation and Certainty, along with 4 knowledge frameworks including Scope, Perspectives, Methods and Tools and last but not least, Ethics. Recently, students of DP-1 have done a fun activity named “TOK Object Based Activity.” In a previous class, each student was given a card which had a specific TOK concept written on it and was told to explain it. In the following class, students were asked to bring an object which represented their given TOK concept. I must say, some of us had some very unique ideas...

The day began with a fun introduction to Makey Makey, where students turned everyday objects like paper and pencil into touchpads, blending creativity with basic electronics.
