TEACHER’S DAY AT ISM

The Teachers’ Day Celebrations at the Indian School Muscat held on 16^th September 2008, turned out to be a perfect blend of grandeur and cordiality. This function organised by the Members of the School Managing Committee was meticulous since even the worries of the isolated little ones at home were taken care of. Dressed in traditional and ethnic attire, the teachers and their spouses were accorded an evening of fun and entertainment and the atmosphere was filled with laughter and gaiety. The grand new multi purpose hall at ISM rendered just the right ambience for the occasion.

The programme was inaugurated with a tribute to Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the great Indian philosopher. The tribute was in the form of a musical rendering by the Vice Principal of the Primary Section, Mr. Anand Prabhu and by an interesting dialogue on what God had to go through while creating the first ever teacher. The Masters of Ceremony with their lively repartee ensured that every moment was lively that evening. This was followed by lucky draws at periodic intervals with winners walking away with fabulous prizes. A tambola event and spot questions ensured that as many of the audience walked away a winner that day. One event that revealed that every teacher  despite his or her age still harbours the spirit of a child, was made explicit by the excitement and enthusiasm displayed by the teachers when they were given a creative task to complete within the stipulated time.  The fun filled and entertaining evening came to an end with a sumptuous dinner providing memories that would remain for years to come.
