Together we succeed

Similarly, the English Club Meet for Term 1 was incorporated into the day and
attracted a large number of participants who competed for prizes in a puzzle
solving game, an essay contest, and speech presentations. The meet
concluded with an award ceremony for competition winners. In addition, the
Outstanding Student Award Committee held their Term 1 ceremony to
recognize top students from Terms 2 and 3.

Coming just on the heels of Omani National Day, the Open Day also celebrated
the Sultanate and a spirit of service. A poster for Oman’s 47th National Day
was set up in the square between the buildings. Faculty and students were
invited to write words of gratitude to His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said
under the student submitted hashtag #47YearsBecauseOfAGreatMan. Within
yards of the poster, our FP Community Service Committee organized a Bake
Sale to raise funds for the benefit of the Salalah Autism Center. Over 100
Omani Riyals were raised from items provided by FP faculty and students.

Feedback on the events of the day was positive from both faculty and
students, leading the celebration of Open Day in Term Two as well and on into
the future.
