To ignite the essence of nationalism, special assemblies were held on 22^nd February and 23^rd February. Students offered intense reverence to the occasion by decorating and adorning the stage. They rendered inspirational speeches. With the use of handmade placards and a skit, the rich history and culture of Kuwait was portrayed. The finale of the month long celebrations was on 24^th of February with tiny tots from the pre-primary section rejoicing the special day.

To add color to the assemblies, the children attired in national costumes danced with grace and splendor. Exquisite caps, accessories, traditional costumes, bearing the colours of Kuwait flag were worn by the students. Conventional and traditional music and dance were the highlights of the assembly. ‘LONG LIVE KUWAIT’ was the core message conveyed through these activities.

In her address, Principal in-charge Mrs Sherly Dennis asked children to understand the glorious history of Kuwait. She further advised everyone to respect and honour the country they live in and also expressed her gratitude towards our country of residence- Kuwait.
