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.

ic Directress Mrs. Nadira Khiz-

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

was calculated and suggestions

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-

bled and thus ended a

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

through fun!

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

area of focus. Teachers made sure

that the dresses to be worn on the

Annual Day match with the song to

Understanding the seriousness of

the event, the students followed

their teachers to make sure they

The en-

thusiasm of the mothers and end-

of almost every act. The event was

concluded up with refreshments,

cheers and smiles.
