Annual Report 2012
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 2011-2012
It is my great pleasure to stand before you to present the
Annual Report of the great progress made by the school, in its bid to provide
quality education to its students. It is with great honour I present the
outstanding performance put up by the students in the various scholastic,
co-scholastic and sporting events held in the school during the academic
session 2011-12. Like the previous years, this year also our students have done
exceedingly well and left a trail of glory.
The students of class X and XII brought laurels to the school
by their outstanding performance. I am pleased to say that there has been a
continuous and marked improvement in their performance. As many as seven
students of Class X were awarded certificates of Merit on the basis of outstanding
performance and obtained grade A1 in all the five subjects with Cumulative
Grade Point Average i.e. CGPA of 10. These high achievers are Iyyamma Gowri,
Liz Maria, Hely R. Mehta, Paul Ipshita, Aishwarya Kurup, Himanshu Sharma and Akansha
Sinha.
An overwhelming 20 students received A1 grade in both
Mathematics and Science, 19 students in English, 10 students each in Hindi and
Social Science.
Here I would also like to mention the stellar performance of
the students who were the subject topers in class XII.
The school acknowledges these stellar performances and
appreciates and motivates each of them with a real gold coin.
The school recognizes the need to refresh the knowledge and train
teachers, according to the ongoing process of transformation of school
education and evaluation. Various resource persons were arranged and workshops
and in-house training programmes were conducted. Some of the resource persons
who conducted various workshops and seminars were Mr. Ramesh Mani, CEO, Majan
Glass Company, Mrs. Neetu Reu, English Department, Sohar University and Prof.
(Dr). Thirumurugan Shanmugam, College of Applied Sciences. Our teachers
attended various workshops and training programmes at Muscat also. For
instance, they attended a workshop on CCE by Prof. H.S. Srivastava the key
person behind the designing of CCE. Four primary teachers attended a Workshop
on ‘Communication Training in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder’ at
Muscat. Mr. Leo Lobo, Director-Academics, Indian Schools Al Wadi Al Kabir and
Sohar guided and helped the teachers in understanding and implementing the
Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation.
The Annual Exhibition for juniors was organised in January
2012 for classes KG to V. The beautiful and inspiring models and exhibits put
up by the junior school were appreciated by the guests and parents alike.
The 8th Sastra Pratibha contest 2011-12 under the
auspices of Science India Forum Muscat was conducted in October 2011. Our student
Krishna Dev Menon of class VII was the proud recipient of the Sastra Prtibha
award for the second consecutive year! I congratulate him for this
extraordinary feat. Six students achieved A + grade while 8 students achieved A
grade.
The assessment of Scholastic Skills through Educational
Testing (ASSET) for classes III to X was conducted from 3rd October
to 6th October 2011. A total number of 273 students participated.
Five of our students received certificates for outstanding performance in
different subjects. Krishnadev R. Menon of VII, again brought glory to the
school and was awarded special prize form ASSET for outstanding performance in
English, Mathematics and Science.
Like the previous years, this year also our school team of
120 students participated in the Jhankar Spectrum 2011 an annual interschool cultural
event in which all the Indian schools of Oman participate. Our school took part
in all the 23 events and thus made the presence felt strongly. Eight of our
students bagged the first prize in the Folk Dance category. In the Debate competition
our school team comprising of Himanshu Sharma and Prakhar Hans of Class XI won
the second place.
In the Ambassador’s Polemic Challenge held in November 2011 at
Indian School Al Wadi Al Kabir, one of our students Himanshu Sharma of Class XI
won the second prize for Best Rebuttal.
Our students actively participate in various functions and
events held in the Omani schools in order to felicitate a cross culture
interaction, so that the young minds of both the countries are exposed to each
other’s culture, traditions and heritage. We also invite Omani and other
schools for various competitions and cultural events.
On 12th December 2011, 13 students from our school
took part in ‘Students Got Talent’ event at Hind Bint Amru School, Al Khaburah.
Three of our students emerged as the winners and were awarded certificates and
a cash prize each. These talented students are: Shubruika Gupta of class X
winner in creative writing, Rollin Fernandes of Class VIII first prize in
instrumental music Pragyapati of class VIII winner in Henna competition.
In order to bring out the inherent talent of the students and
to encourage them, the school organizes various co-curricular activities.
Literary competitions like elocution, declamation, easy writing, storytelling
etc were held this year also like other years.
I am pleased to announce that our students put up a
remarkable performance in the various interschool sporting events. A record
number of 31 students were awarded real gold coins for stupendous performance
in sports. Every year the number of students receiving gold coins is increasing
due to a marked improvement in their performance. This year it is an overwhelming
31, so due to time constraint, I am not able to read each one’s name.
Our school team participated in the CBSE Oman Cluster
Athletic Meet held at Indian School Muscat on 27th and 28th
of October 2011 and won as many as 10 prizes.

So as to inculcate the spirit of brotherhood, various
festivals of Oman and India are celebrated with enthusiasm by the students.
Parent Orientation Programmes and regular Parent-Teacher
meetings are organised in order to have a better coordination and interaction
with the parents for the betterment of the school. In its bid to provide
quality education to its students and to develop them into well-rounded
personalities, the school is continuously trying to upgrade its infrastructure.
The current use of 13 portacabins is only a temporary arrangement, in order to
accommodate all Indian students coming to Sohar. I am pleased to announce that
the school has acquired about 8300 square meters of land adjacent to the
existing school building. Insha Allah we shall be able to provide better
facilities as soon as we complete the construction of more classrooms, a
multipurpose hall and a bigger play ground.

smartboards. We already have 3D lessons programme in classes provided by the company
JIL.
