- JEDDAH: The science fair held by Talal International School (TIS) titled ‘TIS Vision 2012’ at the school premises in Baghdadiyah over the weekend drew all-round praise from the visitors.
“It’s truly spectacular,” one parent remarked looking at the vast range of exhibits prepared by the students.
The exhibits reflected a harmonious blend of the past with the present. The solar system, planetarium, traditional as well modern irrigation systems, power generation methods, water purification systems and processes, development of computer and robotics, harmful effects of deforestation and global warming, sanitation and hygiene, breakthroughs in genetics and cloning, culture and heritage of Saudi Arabia and India, panoramic beauty of the southern Indian state of Kerala, were a few that shed enormous light of information and knowledge. These were supplemented with a variety of incredible items in a magic show provided a lot of entertainment to the visitors.
“The show literally transported the viewers to a different realm of knowledge and information, excitement and entertainment,” one other parent remarked.
As the management put it, the success of TIS Vision 2012 was the result of the teachers and students’ hard work and commitment coupled with cooperation and support from the ancillary staff of the school.
“The fair was held with the primary objective of liberating the pupils’ childhood confined to the four walls of their classrooms as well as the prescribed curriculum, and giving them a high level of self-confidence in their scientific knowledge and creative skills, and furthering their quest for exploration of the world around them,” said the school’s Chairman Ba Hafzuallah, who opened the show.
Manzoor Feroke, Abdul Razak Karinkallayi and Rafi Chaliyam, all school directors, referred to the commitment and efforts of the teachers, students and administrative and non-administrative staff who worked for days together to present the exciting show.
