Stafford Sri Lankan School Doha celebrated Sinhala and Hindu New Year. It has been a tradition of the school to celebrate the event with all rituals and pageantry. The evening was filled with events such as games, competitions and  traditional dances.
The most entertaining events were the three legged race, obstacle race, musical chairs, breaking the pot and lime-and-spoon-race. There were games lined up for the parents and the teachers as well and the Tug of War was keenly contested.
Among the guests of honour was Sithara Khan, Deputy Head of Mission of the Sri Lankan Embassy.  The event was also attended by the Chairman of the school Kumudu  Fonseka and members of the board of trustees.
