‘Good teacher is like a candle; it consumes itself to light the way for others’
The Indian Community School Kuwait, Junior branch, held a special assembly on 9th September, 2014, to celebrate Teachers’ Day.

The assemblies commenced with the recitation of verses from the holy Quran, followed by the school prayer.
‘A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind and touches the heart’; was the apt 
thought for the day delivered by Head Girl Ms. Julia Ann Powell. A tableau depicting the pioneers in the field of education, dance, music and sports field was portrayed with splendor and gaiety depicting the glorious culture of India. A melodious song echoing the theme of the event was rendered by the school choir. A visual delight of the special assembly was a group dance presented in unison and rhythm.
