There was an orientation for

SAUDI NATIONAL DAY Kingdom of Saudi Arabia cele-
brates its National Day on the
23rd of September every year to
commemorate the unification of
the Kingdom under King Salman
bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. National
day is a day to renew loyalty and
patriotism. This year the stu-
dents of Victory International
School celebrated their ‘Saudi
National Day’ on the 27th of
September 2018 conducted by
the Saudi staff. The celebration
was presided over by the Aca-
demic Directress Mrs. Nadira
Khizer and was attended by Mrs.
Budoor (Principal).
Dressed in hues of green and
white the students looked ele-
gant and suave. There were
many programmes on Saudi
culture and history. The day
began with the Saudi National
Anthem sung by the students
followed by the recitation of
Quran. The narrator spoke
about the developments of Saudi
Arabia, culture and its rich histo-
ry. This was followed by a Vote
of Thanks to the Custodian of
the two Holy Mosques. The
programmes though trained by
the teachers were executed by
the students and was a visual
delight. The programmes depict-
ed the Saudi lifestyle, the Islamic
heritage, Bedouin traditions and
various cultural practices of
Saudi Arabia – the land of golden
sand and mysteries.
Arabic coffee, popularly known
as the ‘Qahwa’, was served
along with other Arabic snacks.
Chocolates and candies were
distributed to kids. After the
refreshments we called it a day
and the students left home with
a feeling of pride and happiness.
This was a first of its kind activity
introduced this year by our Academ-
ic Directress Mrs. Nadira Khiz-
er.Victory has always focused on
activity-based learning. There are
different activities based on each
topic and subject that is introduced

STRESS BUSTER
P A G E 3 2 0 1 9
For students, stress is mainly due
to examination; and this pressure
to get good grades drives them
anxious. To promote good mental
health and relieve stress during
exams an awareness campaign was
organized by the school manage-
ment before the commencement of
exams. Three hundred and thirty
seven students took part in this
programme that was conducted in
the school premises.
The management conducted this
healthy awareness programme right
before the onset of exams. There
was a board kept near the examina-
tion area and students were en-
couraged to read the board. The
board was designed in such a way
that it just had a projecting picture
and once opened it provided the
students with a tip. The tips high-
lighted on the need to keep a posi-
tive attitude and measures to take
to cool one’s mind during stress.
Good music, ample sleep and happy
stomach are the few ways in which
you can relax your body and mind
to do well in any exam.
The campaign also threw light on
the need for parents to stimulate
the mental health of their children
by not being too pushy with grades.
The students were encouraged to
talk to their counsellors when in
stress.

were provided with guidelines to be
followed for a healthy lifestyle and
tips to keep diseases at bay. They
were encouraged to bring healthy
food to school and avoid junk food.
Body Mass Index for the students

were given to the students accord-
ing to their range. Students above
the range were warned about the

very essential. Our school conduct-
ed a Health Awareness Programme
in the school premises.
The awareness programme was
organized by school management to
promote health and nutrition
among students.
As a growing body, the students
need food rich in vitamins, minerals,
perils of obesity. And
those who fell below
the range were told
about ways to boost
their health and pre-
vent anorexia. The
school distributed milk
and fruits to all assem-

healthy session on ‘Food
and Nutrition’
February 2019.
Sixty students (based on academics
and smartness) were chosen to visit
the centre. Teachers along with the
selected students arrived at the
Centre to experience first-hand
state-of-the-art facilities to ignite
their creative minds. After a brief
tour to the Centre’s Children’s
Museum the students were taken
to the multimedia lab where they
got to do many experiments relat-
ed to science. It was a day to gain
knowledge and learn about the
advance technologies adapted in
ITHRA.
The students of Victory Interna-
tional School had a rare privilege to
visit King Abdulaziz Center for
World Culture in Dhahran. Also
known as ‘ITHRA’ (meaning enrich-
ment in Arabic), the new cultural
centre is a potpourri of art, human-
ities, science and culture. The cen-
tre is a trove of erudite learning for
the young minds. This educational
trip was organised on the 28th of

Keeping in mind the adage, “All fun
and no play makes Jack a dull boy”,
the students of Victory Internation-
al School enjoyed a day full of intri-
guing sessions and games.
The day began with lot of gaiety
and the first session was ‘Art and
Craft’. In this session the students’
creative faculty were put to test.
They were taught many intriguing
craft works and also encouraged to
draw. Another activity saw them
learn on the need of recycling. This
session on ‘Recycling of Goods’
threw light on the need to recycle
and how fun it can be to use recy-
cled products. This session was
followed by a movie. An animated
film was screened which the stu-
dents watched enthusiastically.
Film was followed by a session to
test their wits and wisdom. The
‘Quiz programme’ saw the little
ones excitedly shouting out an-
swers. There were also some
board games and other variety of
games to make their day more fun.
The students actively took part in
the above mentioned activities and
indeed there was a lot of learning

while on the road. ‘Speed thrills but
kills’ like the saying, the team em-
phasised the need to drive within
speed limits. They also spoke of
various rules on how to follow the
signal, the need to stop when the
lights turn red and so on. Another
pertinent point they raised was on
the issue of not fastening the seat-
belt and driving. Pedestrian rules
were also highlighted such as the

check, cameras, hosts were also the
area of focus. Teachers made sure
that the dresses to be worn on the
Annual Day match with the song to
be performed on and the props
acted as an additional highlight.
Understanding the seriousness of
the event, the students followed
their teachers to make sure they
put their best foot forward on the

The en-
thusiasm of the mothers and end-

students made this day a Success.

could hear “Once More” at the end
of almost every act. The event was
concluded up with refreshments,
cheers and smiles.
