ISD HONOURS MERITORIOUS STUDENTS

Indian School Darsait  organized the Academic Excellence Award Ceremony  on May 25, 2019. Dr. Baby Sam Saamuel, Chairman BOD and Mr. M.P Vinoba, Senior Principal and Education  Advisor, BOD  Indian Schools, Oman were the Chief Guest and the Guest of Honour respectively.    

Speaking on the occasion Dr. Baby Sam said, “Today is a day of victory and we are celebrating   a year-long achievement or the academic accomplishment that we gained for the last one year  and it is the time to assess where we were a year ago and where we stand now.  Success is not just a synchronized thing but rather a continual programme”. He congratulated the student  fraternity and teaching community for bringing the laurels and making the school proud.   He further gave away Gold Medals to the Toppers of Class XII Science and Commerce streams as well as Class X Topper of ISD. Mementos and Certificates were given away to Second and Third Toppers of Classes XII and X as well as to National Toppers in subjects of Classes XII. 

Mr. M.P Vinoba in his key-note address advised the students to be thankful to their parents and teachers for ‘what they are today’. He further spoke about three ‘mantras’ that students should carry home- ‘there is no excellence without labour, no substitute for  hard work and work is worship’. He delineated his views with a ‘Three-D-Formula’- ‘Dream’, ‘Determination’ and ‘Dedication’ that students should keep in mind while setting a goal and working for it.  Taking a leaf from the life of  Ms. Sunita Williams, he called upon the students  to work for excellence by setting a different and challenging goal. Besides, he gave away the mementos and certificates to the winners of A1 in all subjects and subject toppers of Class  X.  

 Congratulating the students on their consistent hard work and ownership of their tasks that scripted success stories, Mr. Jaikish Pavithran, President, SMC  lauded the efforts of teachers and parents for facilitating and motivating them to achieve the fete.
