What's New COMMERCE AND HUMANITIES EXHIBITION Indian School Muscat organized a
Senior School
Commerce, Humanities, Social Science and Languages Exhibition
on 20th
& 21st
Dr.
Madiha Bint Ahmed Bint Nasser Al Shibani, Dy. Director General
of Education,
Ministry of Education inaugurated the exhibition at 5 p.m. on
20th
September in the presence of Mr. Redha Bin Said Bin Mohammed,
Director,
International Schools Office, and Mr. Deepak Such
exhibitions are organized by the school as an annual feature to
provide the
students an opportunity to showcase their learning &
knowledge creatively
and innovatively. These are well liked by pupils, as they are
avenues to present
their talents outside the classroom, beyond the domain of
formal learning. The highlights of the Commerce Department were a Bank Safety Vault, which faithfully sounded an alarm each time an intruder moved close, numerous charts that displayed the various steps involved in setting up a new Entrepreneurship venture graphically, a model of the ‘circular flow’ of Income & a replica of the Bombay Stock Exchange. The Student’s own insurance company ‘SICO’ offered details of several attractive insurance schemes available to the public. Yet another project gave the various facets of Import & Export procedures. The fashion show, ‘MOI COLLECTION’, part of Entrepreneurship & Business Studies, brought in glitter & glamour as student- models walked the ramp in various ethnic costumes.
The
Department of Humanities offered psychological testing
procedures for memory
& cognition on volunteers, highlights of Japanese &
Omani cultures,
charts & models on social problems like
Alcoholism, Drug Addiction; concept of Work in Rural
& Urban
Societies and
a comprehensive
study of the institution of marriage. As
Cricket Diplomacy is part of the class IX curriculum in
History, it was
represented through charts & a Power Point Presentation.
Tsunami 2004 still
looms large in the minds of the young, so a model representing
the geographical
conditions before & after one found its place among the
exhibits. A model on
types of Irrigation systems was self explanatory while a model
of ‘an Oil
Rig’ gave the visitors details of the procedure of oil
extraction. One of the
rooms was transformed with the display of Indian costumes,
handicraft &
traditional art forms to show the famed Unity in
Diversity. The Department of English had on display colourful Tourist Brochures, Invitations, Posters & Pamphlets. Performances of ‘Sketch Comedy’ that teaches a language with a combination of acting & extempore speech were a huge success as were the live sessions of ‘Jam’ & Spelling Bee. The Quadrangle gave a glimpse of the Bard’s work & times with a replica of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre complete with gallery, dressing room & the stage and students acting out scenes from Macbeth & The Merchant of Venice. The
Department of French offered a virtual tour of France through a
Power Point
Presentation, a model of La
Ville de Paris with all its famous landmarks, La Tour Eiffel,
Le Musée du
Louvre, La Notre Dame, Les Champs elysées & La Seine. There
was a display
of French cuisine with
samples of
wine, chocolate, salad & cake. The
Department of Hindi had charts presenting
poems, poets, writers, writing skills & parts of Grammar
with a lot of
creativity. Photocopies of the answer scripts of students
scoring top marks in
Hindi were on display to help students & parents understand
better the
parameters of a good paper.
Thus the two-day exhibition that won accolades &
drew large crowds
gave the organizers and participants a sense of
satisfaction. |
