Celebrating 45 years of Educational Excellence
British School of Kuwait (BSK) held a ‘Press Appreciation Awards’ ceremony at its premises last week to honor and thank journalists for their continued support to the school in all its activities.
Journalists were warmly welcomed by Kefah Al Mutawa, the media director as well as the school management. A sneak preview performance was then given by the children of their Gergean event next week. The beautiful rendition, which was lively and colorful, showcased the talents of the children.
Addressing the press, Principal Emma Bowie said, “Our relationship with our friends in the press is extremely important to us and we are delighted to have the chance today to connect in person and to show our appreciation for you all. Together we all recognise the foundational importance of education to the continued betterment of society and it is to the credit of press outlets that education continues to feature prominently within the national news landscape.”
She went on to note, “Coming up, we also have some exciting occasions before the end of the school year, including our upcoming graduation ceremony, celebrations for Gergean, our Middle Phase drama production, and a geography field trip to Iceland to name but a few. And, of course, the exam successes of our IGCSE, AS and A Level students in mid-August are something we look forward to with great anticipation along with our students.
Journalists were also put to test with a creative competition that had everyone enjoying the group activities specially crafted for the event.
The event concluded with the Chairwoman and founder Madame Vera Al-Mutawa thanking the press for their support to BSK and education in Kuwait. She pointed out that BSK was celebrating its 45th anniversary this year.
Madame Veera has been among the educational pioneers in the country and today, 45 years on, her vision for BSK has been vindicated by the school being among the leading and exemplary academic institutions that provides excellent education to students in Kuwait.
