PISQ holds Annual Sports Meet

Doha: Pakistan International School Qatar (PISQ) organised its Annual Sports Meet with flamboyant spirit at the school’s football ground in a frolicsome atmosphere. 

The arena was decorated with balloons, collages, and colourful placards depicting the school’s creative and innovative learning ideas to support its young and energetic athletes.

The event was marked by a string of spectacular performances presented by the young athletes from all five wings, who were brimming with enthusiasm and sportsmanship. 

The grand opening ceremony was attended by Ambassador of Pakistan to Qatar H E Muhemmed Aejaz; Vice Chairman PISQ, Masood Gul; PISQ Principal, Nargis Raza Otho; Vice Principals, Academic Heads of all the five sections and the HACD of the school.

The Ambassador, along with the Principal took the salute of the impressive welcome parade of uniformed school students from all five wings. The students marched proudly with military precision and perfect synchronisation.

The chief guest cut the ribbon and officially declared the Annual Sports Meet open. The programme was then inaugurated by the lighting of the sports torch. It was followed by a magnificent Walk Past. 

Hassan Elahi, the best athlete student (Boys Wing), took the formal oath from the participating athletes in the arena. After the oath-taking ceremony, a peppy welcome dance with an energising exercise drill by tiny tots of KG Wing was a feast for the eyes. 

The students of the Primary and Girls Wing, wearing show-stopping attires and carrying colourful flowers in their hands, also regaled one and all with their graceful moves.
