‫قابو�س بن �سعيد املعظم‬
It is well understood that education is
the basis of development. In the various
stages of education and through its diverse
curricula, national manpower, which is
necessary for domestic development and for
the implementation of its programmes, is
prepared. Therefore, it has been necessary,
for the success of development plans and
the execution of its programmes, to work to
secure the quality of output of all types of
educational establishments in accordance with
the general policies of the state, to help attain
the goals that we all aspire to achieve.
‫ال يخفى �أن التعليم �أ�سا�س التنمية ففي مراحله‬

‫لل�سيا�سة العامة للدولة و مبا ي�ؤدي اىل بلوغ الأهداف‬
.‫التي ن�سعى جميعا اىل حتقيقيها‬
During the past period, various systems of
education and curricula were implemented and
different training programmes were executed,
but the matter calls for greater attention to be
accorded to linking the educational output to
the requirements of the labour market.
Hence one of the priorities of the current stage
of development and th e next stage, which
we prepare for is to revise the educational
policies, its plans and its programmes, which
need to be developed to keep pace with the
changes that the country is going through.
More attention should be accorded to the
requirements imposed by scientific and
cultrual development towards the evolution
of a generation armed with awareness,
knowledge and the abilities required for
worthwhile work. The establishment of
the Education Council seeks to promote this
sector. Therefore, all departmnets in charge
of education at all levels have to cooperate
with this Council in total dedication and
perseverance.

Let us all join hands together,
you and me and everyone, as
we travel on life’s journey along
the road that’s just begun. We
are very special people, we rank
among the best for it’s truth
we seek as we go each week to
Muscat International School.
We are the youth of Oman; we
are students from the West; and
we come from way Down Under,
North and South and all the rest.
But the thing we have in common
is we do our level best for the
friends we seek as we go each
week to Muscat International School.
In English and in Arabic we study
hard each day; we strive with
every lesson as we do at games
we play; we score the goals, we
read our books, we try to pass
each test, for it’s knowledge
we seek as we go each week to
Muscat International School.

Message from the Principal
PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Welcome to the 2012-13 Muscat International School Yearbook. I would like to begin by thanking the staff, students and parents for
their continued support throughout this Academic Year. I am acutely aware that without support from these quarters, I would not be
able to carry out my role and lead the school in its continued development.
On-going developments this year have included the upgrading of our ICT facilities throughout both primary and secondary sections
of the school and we are in the process of renewing the classroom furniture and fittings to improve further the learning environments.
As the school role continues to rise we are also in the process of opening a number of new classrooms to cope with the increase
in student numbers.
On the academic side there have been significant developments in the assessment and reporting procedures, particularly in Primary
and Kindergarden where parents have had a much more active involvement in their children’s progress through the Goal-Setting
interviews and Open Classroom days which have been arranged. In Secondary, we continue to offer a wide range of courses at
IGCSE and A level as well as our Omani GED Programme in Grades 11and 12. Our results in these external examinations were
extremely pleasing last year and we are hoping for a further improvement this session.
Our school community is rightly proud of its history of raising funds for local charities and again this year we saw an increase in the
money raised at our Pink Day as well as our Annual Charity carnival. I am also particularly pleased with the manner in which our
students have conducted themselves both in school and on the various educational excursions in which they have taken part. The
positive ethos which exists in the school is something on which visitors continue to make favourable comments. This is not only a
reflection on the students and the school; it illustrates clearly the manner in which our students have been influenced by their home
environments.
To those students who are graduating, I wish you all the best for the future. I hope you leave the school with many happy memories
of the special times you have had here and the special people you have met. Keep in touch with us and keep a place in your heart
for Muscat International School. As I said last year at the graduation ceremony, I am confident that we have provided our graduates
with a firm foundation on which they can build a successful future. I have watched you grow over the last three years of your high
school education and I would like to thank you for the manner in which you responded to my request to you, as a group, to act as
role models for our younger students. This year especially you have shown a commitment to working with the secondary school
staff to show them the way.
Finally, I would like to thank the teaching and administration staff in the school, including the Chairman, Mr. Said Al Qadhi and the
Board of Directors for their continued hard work and their commitment to developing our school and, by extension, developing our
students.
I hope you enjoy reading the following pages which attempt to give you a flavor of the Academic Year 2012-13.

2013 June mis School Profile
Muscat International School is a private, co-educational day school, licensed
by the Omani Ministry of Education to deliver the English National Curriculum
alongside Arabic, Islamic Studies and Social Studies from the Omani curriculum,
to students of all nationalities in the Pre-KG to Grade 12 age range. The school
was founded in 1989 as the first school in Oman to pioneer the IGCSE/’A’ level
curriculum and is centrally located in Qurum,
Children in the Kindergarten follow the English National Curriculum Foundation
Programme, leading to implementation Key Stages 1 and 2 of the English National
Curriculum in Grades 1 to 6 . This progamme is extended into Grades 7 and 8
[Key Stage 3].
Thereafter, in Grades 9 and 10, students are taught the IGCSE curriculum, based
on the University of Cambridge and/or Edexcel syllabi. Edexcel and/or Cambridge AS-A2 courses follow
in Grades 11 and 12. Alternatively, students may choose to follow the Omani General Education Diploma
course in Grades 11 and 12 where all subjects are taught in English except for Arabic, Social Studies and
Islamic Studies which are taught in Arabic.
Non-Moslems may be exempted from Religion; non-Arabic speakers may receive their Social Studies in
English and non-native speakers of Arabic take Beginners’ Arabic up to and including Grade 9.
Special provision for non-native speakers of English needing intensive support is available so that they can
be fast-tracked into the mainstream curriculum.
Students with learning difficulties, which currently range from attention deficit issues to mild cases of
autism or physical handicap, are welcome to apply to join M.I.S. A personal interview with the individual
student and his/her family is a pre-requisite before final acceptance can be given.
Teaching staff, who are all appropriately approved and qualified, represent some nineteen nationalities in
all and many of these are seasoned professionals from the British and/or international school circuit. All
teachers are expected to commit to the school’s activities programme, as indeed are all students, which
is incorporated into the daily timetable. All students, for the purposes of sporting competitions and school
activities, are allocated to a School House.
School facilities and resources are excellent. M.I.S. is equipped with a gymnasium, swimming pool
and training pool, a most impressive armchair theatre, examination halls, craft, drama, music and home
economics studios, computing suites, four very well-equipped specialist science laboratories, as well as
ample and generous classroom space. Provision for outdoor recreation and sport is also excellent.
Students proceed after graduation [for which twelve completed and successful years at school, excluding
KG and Reception, are an absolute essential] to universities worldwide. Currently the most popular
destinations are the U.K., U.S.A., Canada, Lebanon, Australia, Jordan and the Gulf countries besides
Oman itself. M.I.S. maintains links with its former students through the Alumni Association.
The school year starts in late August / early September and ends around the third week in June. All
National and Religious Holidays are observed as well as longer breaks in December/January and March/
April. There are 3 Terms modelled on the British system with winter and spring breaks.
All students are obliged to wear school uniform. Admission is by personal interview and placement
evaluation, however, previous school reports, IGCSE and AS results are taken into consideration, where
appropriate. High standards of behaviour and discipline are required. All enquiries regarding admissions
are initially to be addressed to the Principal/Registrar.
Muscat International School is a full member of British Schools in the Middle East [BSME], an Associate
Member of the Council of International Schools and is a recognised CIE and Edexcel Centre for the testing
of London University and Cambridge University syllabuses.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family to M.I.S.

A Library is heaven for a student, a teacher and of course for all
those who are fond of reading. This is the place where one can get
unlimited stocks of books on any and every subject that may be of
interest or need for an individual.

It’s a place where one can spend hours of time fruitfully and filled
with interest. One can learn so much by reading books authored by
eminent writers and thus become knowledgeable.
This year the primary library was stocked with around 600 new
books of different subjects and titles of both fiction and non – fiction.
We also ran the Book club which took place twice this year and is
very popular among students. They enjoyed choosing their own
books which match their level of reading.
The habit of reading can be developed only if we get into the habit
of going to a library regularly and spending a lot of time there. It
is the place that provides just the right atmosphere necessary for
studies, assimilating and retaining all knowledge.

Secondary Library
School libraries play an influential role in the formation and direction of children’s reading tastes
and habits. Therefore, it is very important to set a policy for selection of appropriate and attractive
material. Over the past 2 years, the fiction section has had the most purchase and the most borrowing
as more classes were assigned independent reading tasks.
Research projects have also been introduced to students which enabled them to develop and improve
skills in this area and widen their general knowledge. Students also use the library for study, for
reference, and of course, for reading.
A big thank you to the English department for their support in the addition of new books and making
the library an enjoyable reading area.
We hope to continue to develop the literary appreciation of the Secondary school students at MIS.

It is slowly turning
into a garden for
the
children
to
plant flowers and
vegetables and so
on to give them the
opportunity to care
for them and to
watch them grow.
It has also been
receiving a makeover
in the form of large
Mr Men and Little
Miss
characters
being painted on
the will brightening
the overlook of the
playground. The new
astro turf which
has been laid has
also contributed to
the more appealing
look.
It has been a busy time during my first
year as KG Coordinator, but a thoroughly
enjoyable one.
Since, August, new additions to the
staff have taken place. Ms. Venula joins
the KG2 classes taking the total number
in the year group to four.
Ms. Dalilah, Ms. Eptisam and Ms.
Maimunah have also joined the department
as teaching assistants.
The children have also been busy
participating in a number of activities
through the year. These have involved,
for example,
MIS National Day
Literacy Festival and Book Character Day
MIS International Day
MIS Carnival and other charity events
and Sports day, to name but a few.
The
development
of the curriculum
has also continued. More Jolly Phonics resources have
been purchases and as a result, the children are showing
great progress in their phonic and Literacy skills which
come from using the program.
The first trip of this academic year found all of KG at
Qurm Park for ‘A Teddy Bear’s Picnic.’ The children
listened to stories, participated in games and races and
ended the day with a lovely picnic in the sun – with their
teddy bears of course.
It is not just what is done in class however that makes
a difference. The staff greatly appreciate the role you,
as parents take in your child’s education. Taking part in
consultations and extra-curricular activities leads to a
more positive experience for the children.
Just recently, the children spent a wonderful day out at
Al Wattaya animal park. They observed horses having
their new shoes put on, learnt about how to look after
them, and of course, the highlight of the trip was getting
a ride on a horse. Some of the staff enjoyed this part
the most as well!
Continued support from the staff and parents will
ensure that MIS Kindergarten remains a safe, fun and
challenging time in your child’s life.
On a different note, changes which have been taking place
in Kindergarten, is the development of the playground.
Hazel McCourt
KG Coordinator
Thank you to everyone for a great first year. I look
forward to working with you next academic session.

Head of Primary
It is extremely rewarding to look back on another year at MIS. We are very proud of the advancements that have taken place
and our growth as an international school. The development of our programs and connections with the wider community
become so much richer with each year. While we have come a long way, we know that as a learning community there are
always areas in which we can improve.
The Primary staff have worked tirelessly during this year to implement a number of major changes; specifically with the aim
of enhancing the learning in the classroom and strengthening our home/school communication.
Assessment and reporting was one of the main focus areas during the year. We introduced goal setting conferences in
Term 1 and in January parents once again had an opportunity to participate in their child’s learning through Student-Led
Conferences. While in Term 3, students reflected on their learning to date and established new goals for the remainder of
the year.
This year has also seen an expansion of the learning that takes place outside of the classroom. We firmly believe, in the
Primary Section, that learning is not restricted to the four walls of a classroom so teachers have worked hard to bring various
programs of enrichment into the curriculum and extend the learning process to all areas of the child’s world. Grade 6 joined
in on the Tour Of Oman again this year and were able to meet the riders and teams as well as design a possible new jersey
for the Tour. Grade 3 took a look behind the scenes at the world famous Royal Opera House while Grade 2 studied how
forces affected their bowling game. KG had a wonderful experience at the Al Wattyaya Animal Park. Grade 5 were all wet
trying to trim the jib with Sail Oman and Grade 4 sweated it out for 5 fieldtrips in their endeavours to explore the various rock
formations found all over Muscat. Students also participated in the ‘Why Knot?’ project and were able to tie a knot onto a 3D
global carpet being created in Muscat.
Parents play a major role in their child’s learning and for this reason we are continuing to encourage and welcome parents
into the classroom through open classroom sessions, major whole-school events and conferences.
Primary has participated in a wide range of events this year to promote learning and support our community. Popular events
such as the Reading Festival, Science Fair and World Challenge days were great additions to our classroom learning. Our
annual charity Carnival, International Day and National Day celebrations were highly successful occasions for the school as
well.
Learning is not limited to our student population. Throughout the year teachers have participated in a Jolly Phonics course,
Workshops on implementing the iPad in classrooms, and leadership courses.
I would like to thank the Primary staff for their exceptional hard work throughout the year. We are a highly motivated and
dedicated team who are focused on providing the best possible education for the children at MIS. I would also like to thank
parents for their support and feedback during the year. We welcome your input on all new developments occurring in the
Primary department.
Finally I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a safe and restful summer break with your families. I look forward to
welcoming our returning students in September.

Head of Secondary
Dear Parents and Students,
It gives me great pleasure to
write a few words for this yearbook. This year has been an
extremely fulfilling, satisfying and
successful and as always an extremely busy one as well. As you
peruse the pages of this book you
will see the many areas that MIS
students have left their mark in
2012/2013. There is no doubt that
in answer to my request of ‘participation’, the MIS secondary community has with energy and gusto involved itself in many activities in both
the academic and non-academic
spheres. As I have mentioned before
this is a healthy testimony to the sheer
diversity and range of talents that we have here at
MIS. I am very proud of the students and my colleagues and it is clear from their response that there
is a great deal to celebrate at MIS.
Without doubt the stand out event this year has
been the first and third place gained by our students
in the internationally acclaimed Readers Challenge
Cup held in Dubai. If you remember this was due
to our entering the competition which was part of
the Festival of Literature where over 120 schools
and over 200 teams participated in early knock-out
rounds. To even make the finals was remarkable
but to come third and first, was just simply outstanding. The ‘junior’ team (Zain Burney, Sasangee
Dissanayake, Hissaan Nadir and Shaheer Haider)
placed third while our ‘senior‘ team made up of
Maha Al Balushi, Wasan Al Balushi, Ali Babiker of
Grade 10 and Shehrbano Kazmi (Gr7) won the
overall competition. Hearty congratulations to them.
The school’s first Inter-House Debating competition was held in March and proved to be a huge
success. A wide range of topics were covered, giving our senior students the opportunity to polish up
on their debating skills. Poetry reading took a new
direction this year with a Sonnet writing competition being held in conjunction with William Shakespeare’s birthday in April. Public speaking also
remained a very important part of the school year,
with a wonderful Inter-House event taking place in
October, followed by an even larger event in March
that allowed Upasana Basu (Year 9) and Wasan al
Balushi (Year 10) to go forward and represent our
school at the prestigious ‘Listen Up!’ Public Speaking event at the Al Bustan Palace.
As well as our team of students doing a great job
in the annual ‘Cubscribe’ journalism competition
in February, a final mention must go to all of Years
7 and 8 who took part in their respective fun-filled
Spelling Bees. This was the first time the school has
staged such events and we were delighted to witness impressive displays of memory but also verbal ability as the students were pitted under timed
pressure to see who had the best overall spelling
prowess.
I must make a mention here of the impact, dedication and sheer hard work that the English Department led by Mr Darren have made to MIS. They have
been extremely busy throughout the year in organising and giving our students opportunities to get in-
volved in a wide range of activities.
Turning our attention to elsewhere, 2012/2013 provided students with many sporting opportunities
and successes. The Physical Education department
was assisted by many other members of staff to offer a varied selection of sports training, clubs and
activities for all age groups both on and off campus.
Notable highlights were significant improvements at
the Muscat School Sports League annual athletics
meet at The Sultan’s School where Raghad Zubaidi
shone, football tournaments at TAISM and BSM and
a gold medal for Arsy Baruno at the British Schools
of the Middle East Swimming meet at the Sultan
Qaboos Stadium.
In February, students returned to The Royal Omani
Police Stadium to compete in the 2013 sports day.
The enjoyment of last year’s competition was evident as there was close to 100% attendance. Maximum participation from all meant that there was
very little between the houses when the final points
tally was calculated. In the end, the red house of
Jabrin (Red House) claimed top place and replaced
the green ribbons of the previous year’s winners,
Masirah.
The mathematicians amongst us were also busy this
year. October saw the KS3 Tessellation competition.
The number of entries was very pleasing with some
great designs. Mr. Brian, Ms. Katherine and myself
judged the entries and the best three from each
year group were ranked. I must say that due to the
high standard choosing the winners was no easy
task.
Years 11 and 12 sat AS and A2 modules in January
with some outstanding results. Bayan Al Balushi,
Vinod Kumararathna, Ayesha Burney, and Uroob
Haris all achieved 100% in Core 1 while the following students also achieved a grade A in one or more
Mathematics module in January: Hari, Rida, Hannia, Ibtihal, Jueun, Si Yuan, Afiq, Ahmed and Habab. Congratulations and well done. It is envisaged
that the same level of success will occur in June.
Many students involved themselves in Environmental week in late January. This was organized
by the Humanity department and each subject area
History, Geography and Business Studies was
responsible for organising an event such as the
Environmental Cinema, Big Environmental Draw,
Energy Busters, Muscat Daily Recycle Campaign,
Assembly on Environmental issues. In Mathemat-
97
97
ics, year 9 were given a project involving calculating the space and
waste produced from tin cans while
others planted trees and about 50
students participated in a beach
clean-up of Marjan Beach. Pupils
also participated in a Green Mufti
day proceeds of which have been
donated to charity. The Humanities Department also organised
and hosted the Second Enterprise
Day for Grade eight students
which was held in June. This will
be an annual event with another
one taking place in the last week
of May. It also helps students
to see how businesses operate
and how they have the potential to affect their everyday lives. Another event which had
much participation was the recent and now annual
Science Quiz Day where houses competed vigorously to answer the demanding and challenging
questions set under timed conditions. This year
Masirah (Green house) made a compete sweep of
all Key Stages for winning all key stages. A huge
amount of gratitude must go to Mr. Prabha and every member of the Science Department who, behind the scenes worked for many weeks to make
this an outstanding success. The House System
has continued from strength to strength and the
students have participated with vigour and vim. I
have to say that I look forward to such days. The
school becomes a kaleidoscope of colour and there
is definitely an excitement in the air as houses and
individuals compete for points.
My gratitude also goes to all other departments
who have been active and involved in many other
events throughout the year. Art, Music and Drama
worked very well and very hard together to produce
this year’s production was ‘The Lion, The Wicked
Queen & The Wardrobe’. This was a success and
enjoyed by all but more importantly it was an opportunity for all students to be involved in a theatrical
production as performer, technician, backstage and/
or front of house. Three performances took place in
the MIS theatre. The students who took part all said
that it was very satisfying, a lot of hard work but
they would do it again. The Arabic department also
were instrumental in involving their students in competitions. In the Quran Reciting Competition in February, Mohammed Jayed Hossain took first place.
This competition was open to all private educational
institutes in Oman so to achieve this, is remarkable.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect
and point out that MIS is a growing and improving
school and this has been in no small part due to the
positive and willing nature of our students and to the
dedication, skills and hard work of the MIS staff. The
school runs on mutual respect and it is precisely in
this safe environment that your sons and daughters
are taught self expression and discipline, the value
of hard work and success and the importance of being part of a community. It remains me to wish you
all parents, students and teachers alike a safe and
relaxed summer. I look forward to recommencing
anew and in greeting returning and new students
in September.

Careers
Planning for higher education begins
for students at Key Stage 3 when
faced with the task of selecting
IGCSE subjects. Within the domain
of this area are the senior programs,
career options, and eventually the
application process.
This year, students have had the
opportunity to meet with university
and college admissions officers from
many parts of the world including
Europe, North America, Australia,
the Middle East, and the Gulf. They
were advised to carefully research
courses they are interested in and
decide whether these courses will
lead into their chosen careers, keeping
in mind locations of universities, size
of campuses, and support offered to
international students.
Once students have chosen courses, it
is time to apply. They need to check
entry requirements to make sure they
are eligible.
Students studying in
the GED programme will be required
to do a foundation year in the UK
and Australia. All students need to
provide universities with proof of
English Language ability and other
prerequisites.
The Student Guide
provided by the Higher Education
Admissions Center (HEAC) through
the Ministry of Education is an
important source of information on
academic programmes, admissions
and scholarship requirements. We
encourage all students to review it for
for entry qualifications into colleges/
universities in the Sultanate as well as
those abroad.
Early preparations will guarantee
an early acceptance, convenient
accommodations and a successful
start.
We wish our graduating students a
successful future in their respective
universities.

Head Girl
Being appointed Head Girl of Muscat International School for this academic year has been a huge honour. It has also provided me
with a great opportunity to sum up twelve years at MIS.
During this academic year at Muscat International School, twenty four of our Grade 11 and Grade 12 students were given the honour
and opportunity of taking on the role of MIS Senior Prefects. When signing up for the role, our esteemed Principal, Mr. McCormack,
informed us that the greatest duty of the Senior Prefects are to lead the student body by example, and that we are important
ambassadors of our school. After signing the Oath, we all grew into our new positions and became the important role models
required for our school. We grew accustomed to the ideas and attitudes that come with being a Senior Prefect and have recognized
the serious responsibility of representing our school. With determination and effort, each Senior Prefect contributed towards trying
making the school a better place.
As a group, we managed to help and organise charity events such as Pink Day and our
annual School Carnival, both raising larger sums of money than ever before at Muscat
International School. We have assisted the teachers to the best of our ability, on break duties,
at PTA meetings, or by attending external and internal events such as this year’s Drama
Production. I feel blessed and thankful to have been given the privilege of working with
such a passionate, kind and helpful group of students who have made this a truly joyful and
memorable experience.
My role as Head Girl has also allowed me to work with various other groups within the school
such as the members of our Student Council who have always come up with interesting
ideas and topics. I also co-hosted Muscat Daily’s Listen Up competition which took place in
school, alongside two fellow students and our Deputy Head Boy which was an exciting new
experience for all of us. I also enjoyed helping the Primary Choir group at their Christmas
performance at the Intercontinental Hotel .
I feel it would be unfair if I do not officially thank the other three students who have who I
have worked closely with, as part of the leadership team of the Senior Prefects; Head Boy,
Abdullah Al Kharoosi, Deputy Head Boy, Abdullah Al Alawi and Deputy Head Girl, Noor
Aideed. All three colleagues were a constant support and I cannot begin to thank them
enough. Guys, we made it!
I also feel it would be even more unfair if I do not take this opportunity to thank Ms. Melsom,
our Key Stage 5 Coordinator, whom we could at all times turn to with our concerns and ideas. Also, to our encouraging
Principal Mr. McCormack, who was always helpful and understanding, pushing us forward with our ideas and standing firmly by us
when we needed the support.
Muscat International School is a place that I will always remember. The laughs, the atmosphere, the diversity, the mindset of our
students, and the teachers of our school; these are the things that help to make it unique. Thank you all for accepting me as your
Head Girl and for giving me the opportunity to prove myself. It feels like each year we progress and develop into a stronger school
community and I see nothing but the brightest future for the school and students. I wish you all the best for the years to come.

8C is an interesting medley of cosmopolitan
and multifaceted students. They are lively,
affectionate, a shade naughty!!!!
Although, to many of them, English is second
language, they conquered all language
barriers and seemed to communicate,
cooperate and enjoy each other perfectly.
Mohammed engrossed in ICT work
Celebrating Diversity
They believe “To feel the joy of life 8C is the
right place to be. It is where you not only
find people engaged in studies, but comedy
and fun while learning is the Motto. We
are naughty; we are noisy; yet we enjoy the
lessons with a bit of spice”.
We love science
Hammam, Mirdas, Mohammed constantly
brought in glory to the form with their
splendid performances in Football matches.
8C has some very versatile actors who
showed their talents at the LWW production.
They won the crowd with their enthusiasm
and vigour on Carnival day. They are a
fabulous group of budding champions and
talented youngsters.

Our class
achievements
This year we had a load
of activities in M.I.S. and
our class students have
progressed well in each
of them.
Focusing on the
‘Public Speaking
Competition’, Thisanja
Cooray (Who is in
Masirah) was in a group
with other members of
the green team and won
that competition with
high marks from the
judges.
Next we had the
‘Cancer Awareness
Walk’ which we
performed well in by
giving money for treating
cancer and having
a walk in and out of
school.
We then had quite a few
‘House Days’ which all
us students had to wear
our house t-shirt and to
win points for our teams
and having meetings
with our houses.
Then we had the
‘Sports Day’ which was
real fun and Mohammed
Al Taie won the cup for
the best grade 9 boy.
In English we had to
write an 80 word story
‘Around the world in 80
Days’ which was sent
to the UK to choose
the best ones to be
published in a book.
Last of all we had the
Carnival!

Mudrick is laughing and amusing the class
And Wasan Is studying for her exams, she wants to pass.
Seif and Yousef sitting and being typical boys,
“Stop talking, I’m doing the register, DON’T MAKE ANY NOISE!”
Sultan walking in, wishing this is his class,
“Stop distracting me; go to your form room, FAST!”
Shahed is standing and playing with her hair, her friend Hasna is
waiting,
Sitting on the chair.
Amna wants to leave she´s waiting for the bus, Kelly

Who´s obsessed with one direction? I know, Haneen!
She´s also a great friend that keeps secrets ask Sherine!
Huda is sitting quietly on her chair,
Did I forget to mention I love Flora´s red hair?
Yaqdhan is always smiling; Ruwaid is too smart for ICT,
Iram always whines about how much she hates P.E.
Andre is a good student, Seefat is new, Hassan likes sport cars,
Believe me what I’m saying is true.
Anyways I’m done talking about my class.
See you next Year! n grade 11… um that´s if I pass.

Diversity may be the hardest
thing for a society to live
with, and perhaps the most
dangerous thing for a society
to be without.
Variety is the spice of
11B are like me, they work well under pressure
life
and to deadlines, evidence of which was shown in
our class assembly on Celebrating Diversity! Our
assembly took place the week after the AS Level
mock exams so most of the students not only had the
pressure of studying for these important exams but
also had me continually pestering them to organise
our theme at the same time. It was impressive how
they took the whole thing in their stride, how they
pulled together an excellent assembly as a group
and I am proud of what they achieved that morning
on stage. The amount of thought, preparation,
hard work and imagination at one of the busiest
times of their academic year shows how far these
students in 11B have come since the start of Key
Stage 5 and gives us an idea of how they are going
to contribute in MIS next year as they move into
It takes a lot of different
Year 12. 11B – we’re celebrating YOUR diversity flowers to make up a bouquet

12B have contributed to the positive ethos of the school in a wide variety of ways throughout
the year.
Many members of the tutor group were appointed to important positions of responsibility.
These include: Amal Al Bulushi, Head Girl; Bushra Al Rawas, Masirah House Captain; Fahad
Al Wahaibi, Sports Captain, Masirah; Ahmed Ali, Prefect; Basil Al Riyami, Prefect; Asma
Sheikh, Prefect.
These students have offered their time and support at countless events that have taken place in
the school throughout the year, including parents’ evenings and charitable events. They also
delivered a whole-school assembly on the theme of ‘Generosity’, with other members of the
form including Muhamad Afiq Pengiran Azhar, Iyad Al Asaad and Abdullah Al Subhi working
hard behind the scenes to offer stories, videos and quotes to ensure the assembly ran smoothly.
Amal, Basil, Fahad, Asma, Reem Al Qadhi, Leyal Al Maimani and Alexis Nezat also enjoyed
taking part in the National Day fashion show. Alexis was also the make-up artist in the school
production, “The Lion, the Wicked Queen and the Wardrobe.”
Amal and Reem took part in the Inter-house Speaking competition and Reem extended her
conversational skills further by attending a meeting with the Ministry of Education to discuss
the educational system in Oman.

The English Department continues to provide energetic and stimulating lessons for all students at Muscat International School. The English Curriculum
covers all aspects of language, enabling our students to develop their skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing. The English Department is fully
aware of the importance of language acquisition, helping students develop the skills needed in many academic subjects as well as in a wider, thriving
social context.
Our Key Stage 3 students in Grades 7 and 8 have continued to consolidate and reinforce the invaluable skills acquired in the Primary School. All students
follow a progressive language course, as well as a thorough and wide-ranging programme of English Literature. These crucial years give our younger
students the skills and experiences necessary for the step up to Key Stage 4 and IGCSE examinations.
This year, our Grade 9 students began the Edexcel IGCSE First Language course, giving all students the ability to explore and engage with a wide range
of situations and texts. This two year course will thoroughly prepare our students for the challenges of the Edexcel ‘AS’ and ‘A2’ courses studied in
future years.
Year 10 students have been able to continue and finalise their preparations for the Cambridge IGCSE Second Language as well as the Edexcel First
Language course, enjoying the challenges of these renowned course.
Literature continues to inspire many of our students in Years 9, 11 and 12, with our IGCSE group enjoying their explorations of Shakespeare in Term 1
and contemporary prose in Term 2. Year 11 have met the challenges of the Literature Edexcel course, while our group of Year 12 students have extended
their analytical and higher reading skills in preparation for the ‘A2’ English Language & Literature examinations.
Muscat International School students have continued to take pride when representing the school in a wide range of competitions, both within the school
and internationally. The Inter-House Public Speaking Competition gave students from Grade 7 up to Grade 12 the opportunity to develop their teamwork
skills, as well as their ability to research and refine speeches that were delivered to students, teachers and distinguished guest judges.
Our students also enjoyed success in the Cubscribe Young Journalist Competition held at The Week, essay writing competitions organized by The Oman
Observer and poetry writing competitions held by several groups in the UK.
This year also saw both MIS teams qualify for the prestigious ‘Readers’ Challenge Cup Final’ in Dubai. The department also introduced highly successful
Spelling Bee competitions at KS3 and enjoyed its first full Inter-House Debating Competition for Key Stage 4 and 5. To complete an incredibly busy
year, MIS also held a second Public Speaking Competition as part of the Muscat Daily ‘Listen Up!’ project and saw the two finalists go on to represent
the school at the Grand Final at the Al Bustan Palace. This involvement obviously continues to be an area highly valued by the English Department.

Over the past year, the ICT department has continued to give students the knowledge and skills that can be used in all walks
of life. The use of Internet for research etc. and email are encouraged to help students understand modern day interactive
communication. The increase in multimedia applications has meant cross curricular involvement with Year 7/8 students
creating projects which involve Art and ICT etc and also students up to Year 12 being fully conversant with a wide range of
multimedia software and hardware.
Extracurricular school trips where organised for Year 10 students and above to PDO (GED Years 11 and 12) and the Comex
Exhibition. As these were well attended and students gained much from them, we are hoping to make them yearly events
and to even expand our visits to other companies etc. Again the school is not standing still but is looking to upgrade at least
1 ICT lab in order to make it a fully multimedia ready classroom.
The ICT staff has worked very hard over the year both in the subject but also as support for other areas such as the school
production which was a great success. Continuity of staff has always been important and again all ICT staff are returning
next year to help enable students to even greater heights.

This year has seen some changes in the Mathematics Department with three new members of staff joining the team, taking
the number up to six. We are also introducing a booklet system in Key Stage 3 that will allow us to develop and adapt as time
goes on in order to meet the needs of the pupils and the ever changing curriculum. IGCSE texts are also being updated and
extra resources bought in to provide more practice and support material for these Key Stages.
In the first term a Tessellation Competition was run for KS3. We had some amazing entries and the effort put in by many
students surpassed our expectations. Congratulations go to those students whose entries were placed or were highly
recommended. It looks like it will become an annual event so there will be no excuses for anyone next year.
During Environment Week, Year 9 found out about the volume of waste that is produced by just tin cans in Oman – (huge
assumptions had to be made in order to make the calculations possible!) They worked out that nearly 300000cm3 is needed
for every household’s tin cans. This is 180000 cubic metres of waste for the average family in Oman. This also includes about
9 million square metres of paper from the labels! This is a rather frightening amount of waste that could be recycled.
Next year we hope to continue to develop the resources and the schemes of work to suit the changes in the exam syllabi with
the hope that even more pupils choose to continue their Mathematics education post-16.

The Science department has continued to thrive during this academic year
2012/13. The results of the 2012 June examinations were excellent and there
was a record number of ‘A*’ grades in the IGCSE Examinations. This has
really motivated our young scientists to take Sciences at AS level. As a result
of this motivation and encouragement the students have achieved excellent
results in the January modular examinations; including a few students scoring
100% marks! The teachers and students are working hard to maintain these
results in the coming June examinations.
As part of our effective learning process, we have continued to give special
emphasis on Practical assessments and the IGCSE students were given an
option of doing the Practical examination instead of the written alternative
paper. Training for this paper has started early this year and teachers
and technicians have dedicated their afternoons (after school) to help the
students in accumulating practical skills. I thank all the Science staff who was
involved in this activity for the whole year.
I am thankful to the administration and the management for their support in
availing the latest Science technology and lab resources which are vital for
a meaningful Science education. As part of the professional development
program, the teachers in the department have attended in-service training
courses conducted by EDEXCEL from the UK. These courses have helped
the teachers to interact with the subject experts and examiners and also to
know the latest updates on the assessment and marking policies.
The grade 11 and 12 students were invited to attend an education symposium
by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) International, USA, at AlBustan Palace Hotel. This was an excellent career guidance opportunity
for the young Scientists who may have an ambition to pursue their career
in Petroleum Engineering and also in other related courses. Students were
informed about the scholarships offered by SPE to study such courses in
International Universities. Our students got a special mention as the most
interactive group in the Seminar.

As well as gaining scientific skills and knowledge students have been getting
creative in Science this year. Grade 7 made all kinds of model plant and
animal cells, Grade 8 have made both useful and pathogenic model microbes
and Grade 9 made wonderful hanging models of atoms.
As part of environmental week in Science, Grade 7 wrote stories about life
without fossil fuels and poems about acid rain or global warming. Other
year groups produced power points on the uses and impacts of fossil
fuels, alternative energy sources, nuclear energy, air and water pollution,
mining of metals and numerous other environmental issues. The most
impressive were awarded certificates of merit and excellence. To kick off the
Science week the whole of Primary were treated to some exciting chemical
demonstrations during assemblies. Also as part of Science week Grade 5
and 6 were invited to the secondary laboratories to witness and take part in
explosions, implosions and chemical trickery. As usual, Grade 6 was invited
to attend transition lessons in the Science labs in order to gain some new
skills in preparation for their Secondary School Science career.
The department has continued to support the MIS house system in many
ways. Two members of the department have been leading the two of the
four houses and all members have contributed well. The Science staff has
exhibited excellent teamwork and dedication in making the MIS inter-house
Science quiz a great success. The enthusiasm and talent shown by the
young Scientists in preparing and participating in the Quiz have been very
inspirational for teachers to continue with such events in future.
Heartfelt thanks to all Science teachers and technicians for their co-operation,
support and hard work. On behalf of the science Staff I wish all our students
good luck in their external examination.

This academic year has proven again to be a very busy and successful year for the Humanities Department. The teachers
within the department including: Mr David, Mr George, Mr Antony, Mr Christopher, Mr Stefano and Ms Carmen have all worked
very hard to make sure the Humanities courses and curriculum have been exciting and interesting. The department includes
the following areas: Business Studies, Geography, History and Travel and Tourism. Many pupils within the department have
achieved excellent grades in the external exams and have such passion they have chosen to follow these subjects into further
education.
The Humanities Department hosted two fantastic events. Environmental Week which was held in the beginning of February
helped to raise the profile of Environmental issues in Oman. Students throughout the whole of the Secondary School enjoyed
participating in events including: Environmental Cinema, Big Environmental Draw, Energy Busters, Muscat Daily Recycle
Campaign, Assembly on Environmental issues and over 50 students took part in a Beach Clean. Pupils also participated in a
Green Mufti day proceeds of which have been donated to charity.
The Humanities Department also organised and hosted the Second Annual Enterprise Day for Grade eight students which was
held in June. This was a huge success and enjoyed by all students. Student participated in three different activities throughout
the day with the aim of building confidence, team working, communication and presentation skills. It also helps students to
see how businesses affect their everyday lives.
Grade ten and eleven pupils enjoyed a joint History, Geography trip to Mutrah Port and the Shangri-la Hotel. The trip focused
on the Geography areas of: rock and soil types, slope management, coastal management, changing functions of a settlement
and land-uses of a settlement. Whilst the Historians focused on: the history of Mutrah Port and Oman.
We look forward to the challenges of next year and the opportunity to build on the success of this year.

‘NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND’ has always been our motto. Bearing this in
mind, we have strived to cater to students with different learning needs
who are at varying levels of performance.
Our senior students have been well supported by the Comprehensive
Integration System of the department. They attend mainstream
classes where they participate in academic and non-academic lessons
with their peers. In addition to this, they receive intensive one-onone remedial classes where they are taught strategies to overcome
their learning difficulties. The success of this system is evident from
the results our students have achieved. One of our students has
successfully completed the GED exams, while 3 others are now ready
for their IGCSE Exams.
The fledgling Kindergarten/Primary Division of the department provided
support to some of our younger students who show great potential.
The addition of a new special education professional enabled us to
continue with our emphasis on integrating students into mainstream
classes. Some of our students are now being partially integrated into
mainstream classes with the special educator shadowing them. Our
vision for this Division is to see it expand into an Early Intervention
program, with a multi-disciplinary team to work with both the students
and their families. Such a team can not only enhance the student’s
academic performance, but also enhance their holistic development
by attending to their social, emotional and physical development.
We have seen an increase in student enrollment, which can be
attributed to students from Early Childhood Developmental Programs
reaching school age; or students requiring an alternative education
program moving from mainstream schools; or newly diagnosed
students requiring an alternative education program.
The increase also reflects on the Department’s success at delivering a
model that meets the demands of student needs within the academic
framework of the school, and also the social needs of a burgeoning
Omani population that has an increasing incidence of children with
learning difficulties.
Each new academic year brings with it new challenges. With every
new challenge comes an opportunity to grow as a professional.
Looking back at the year that has been, we can say with satisfaction
that we have been inspired by our motto to overcome the challenges
faced. Looking onward, we are committed to our vision to make the
MIS - LDD one of the finest facilities in Oman for students who learn
differently – A School for Everyone!
Only the brave dare look upon the gray –
upon the things which cannot be explained easily,
upon the things which often engender mistakes,
upon the things whose cause cannot be understood,
upon the things we must accept and live with.
And therefore only the brave dare look upon difference without flinching.
(Richard H. Hungerford, “On Locusts”)

Music
The Art department aspires to develop each student’s
independence and creative approach to the subject.
Schemes of work are structured to prepare students for
success in GCSE, AS and A Level assessment, but most
importantly to address their enjoyment and wellbeing
generating a positive learning environment for all.
Music is a very beneficial subject at several levels.
Teaching and learning is delivered through projects, each
project is designed to develop the students skills over
the course of the year. Within each project, students will
experiment with a range of materials and techniques
gaining knowledge and understanding of the formal
elements and art history. We strive to educate students
to become creative thinkers, independent enquirers,
reflective learners and self managers. These skills can be
encouraged to use in all areas of education and throughout
the students life.
It is a well-known fact that music aids other studies. I like
to think this is because it is centered on the aural sense
and therefore encourages listening. For if you cannot
listen, you cannot learn.
Jenny Stretch
Art Teacher
It opens out the spirit or being. It increases well-being
in both the listener and the performer and allows the
performer to express sentiments one is hard put to find
words for.
The music department gives grades 7 & 8 music lessons
in which the theory of music is taught, with a view to
composing. World music is also introduced to broaden
the cultural awareness and to inspire interest through
diversity. Singing is also taught to encourage selfdiscipline, particularly when part-singing.

Drama allows us to transcend the boundaries of our identity, and to better understand ourselves as people. Drama allows students to explore and
make sense of the world in which they live. It can be used to communicate a message, to teach, to make a statement, to make your voice heard
Within MIS, Drama is about drawing from the students a capacity for creativity which even they may not have been aware of. Drama is taught not only in
lessons, but through the school productions. This year’s production was ‘The Lion The Wicked Queen & The Wardrobe’ with whole school participation.
The main aims of the department are:
• To develop and nurture confidence, co-operation, creativity and independent thinking.
• To develop and nurture appreciation and enthusiasm for performance art as well as developing students’ skills in all aspects of performance,
production, analysis and evaluation.
• To develop and nurture understanding and interest in the historical, cultural and social context in which drama is created and performed.
• To offer opportunities for all students to be involved in theatrical productions as a performer, a technician, backstage or front of house.
• To allow students access to drama in the wider community through theatre visits.
Curriculum Drama
• In Grade 5 & 6 and Year 7 & 8 students have one lesson of drama per week.
• Drama is offered at IGCSE at IGCSE level students have four lessons per week.
Theatre
• Facilities within the theatre are extensive and all-embracing.

Love, Clyde Van Graan
The 2012/2013 academic year has been a busy and successful year for the Physical Education Department. Michael Henderson continued
as subject coordinator and worked closely with Clyde Van Graan, Lucy Byford and the newly appointed Wendy Love to build on the success
of the previous year and continue to raise the profile of Physical Education within the school.
Physical Education has now been an established GCSE subject within the school for 3 years and plans are afoot to introduce A level as an
option as the subject continues to offer new academic opportunities to the students of Muscat International School. Furthermore, the now
established General Education Diploma course remains a very popular subject and has provided the students in year 11 and 12 with unique
experiences such as gaining their first aid qualification and playing golf at Almouj Golf Course at The Wave.
Students in both primary and secondary school have had many opportunities to participate and compete in events both on and off campus. It
is important at this point to recognise and thank the dedication and commitment of staff throughout the school that help organise these events
in conjunction with the Physical Education Department. We have continued to be a valued member of The Muscat Schools League (MSL) and
achieved impressive and improved results in basketball and football tournaments with both girls and boys teams. Other notable highlights
were primary and secondary athletics competitions at The Sultan’s School and swimming meets at The American International School and
The Sultan Qaboos stadium where the team has regularly trained. Activities remain ongoing throughout the academic year and at the time of
writing, over 65 students are involved in an interschool indoor 4 – a – side league. An incredible amount of enthusiasm and fair play has been
shown in each game and it would appear that the event will become a regular sporting highlight in the MIS calendar.
Students throughout the school once again thoroughly enjoyed the school sports days. Primary and secondary events were held at the Royal
Omani Police Sports Stadium in Wattayah and the fantastic facilities contributed to a tremendous atmosphere. With maximum participation
the key, events were closely contested with the Blue house of Buraimi winning the primary sports day and the Red house of Jabrin winning in
secondary. A special mention must go to the Grade12 GED physical education group who helped in the organisation and running of the primary
event. Similarly, the KG sports day hosted in the MIS gym and on the green field and won by the Green house of Masirah was professionally
prepared by the Grade 11 GED physical education class. Both groups of senior students’ demonstrated maturity and their positive attitude on
these special days contributes to a great school ethos within MIS.
The school has many outstanding individual talents in the field of sport and physical activity. The following students have shown a great deal
of dedication and hard work and demonstrate a talent in their chosen sport. Arsy Baruno – Swimming. Azim Baruno – Swimming. Linda Allali Football. Modric Mussa – Football. Karim Al Balushi – Competitive weight lifting. Raghad Al Zubaidi - Athletics. Sarah Al Balushi – Tennis. The
department wishes them and all students participating at various levels of sport every success in 2013/2014.

Muscat Youth Summit
The Delegates with Mr. Brian McCormack and Ms. Dawn Melsom
The Muscat Youth Summit is a ground-breaking and worldwide
5-day residential project that aims to augment young people’s
knowledge and awareness of culture, modernization and
venture by enlightening skills based learning. This year, the
4th Muscat Youth Summit was held at the Millennium Resort
at Al Musannah by Brand Oman Management Unit (BOMU).
The 4th Muscat Youth Summit gave a deep-focus to an
overabundance of vital youth matters facing young people
in a rapidly changing world. From growing industries to
urban arts, from graffiti expression to digital activism, the
Muscat Youth Summit was a life changing experience which
included progressive exploration of universal youth issues in a
collaborative and participatory approach.
On the first day, each participant was assigned to a specific
group with people from different schools and colleges. All of us
from MIS were divided into three groups; Muscat, Mussandam
and Masirah.
The theme of the first day was entrepreneurship. Each group
took part in different workshops with specialized lecturers. All
the groups learned how a person can be creative and how
they can attain their inner goals. We discussed different ways
to tackle a problem and how to use our initiative to explore
new ideas. In small groups we were given different types of
businesses and all the participants worked together in a
productive and enjoyable manner.
The second and third days revolved around the same topic:
road safety in many forms. Based on our interests, we were
split into teams of social media, designing and graffiti. Those
who were part of the social media groups had to create a page
which was targeted at the youth and included useful information
about road crashes. The page consisted of short films, articles
and stories that were made interesting and appealing to raise
awareness about the reasons for road incidents and for the
youth to be fully aware of the consequences. For those who
were part of the fashion design groups, they had to design
a shirt, bag and accessory that symbolized the road safety
awareness. The people who were part of the graffiti groups
had to come up with so many ideas regarding to the road
safety awareness, so that they could interpret their ideas and
represent it in terms of art.
The fourth day was designated a Community Day and it was
a chance for the participants to give back to the community
and show their generosity. Everyone was transported to a local
park in al Musannah where we helped to renovate it. Different
tasks were allocated to different people such as painting the
walls, planting flowers, trimming trees and cleaning the park. It
was a truly delightful and entertaining day.
The MYS experience has given us all the opportunity to express
and share ideas in so many ways. It was a privilege for us all to
be a part of this thrilling and educational event.

Feeling under the, literally speaking, rather hot weather?
Why not find a way to spend your free time enjoying the
heat? With temperatures rising day by day, I’m sure many
of us have been cooped up in our air conditioned rooms
far too much. Not to mention the rapidly approaching
exams, the tons of homework and the boring old weekday
routine that all leave you longing for a fun, relaxing
weekend.
Stress, stress, stress! It’s pretty much all that’s being
uttered from the mouths of teenagers nowadays isn’t it?
Test, assignments, coursework folders, and to top it all
off, externals headed right your way! Totally stressed,
aren’t you? Well, you can use this stress to your own benefit. How? Well carry on reading!
The most cost-effective and easy way to achieve this? The
beach, of course! Whether you want to head over to
Shatti beach to just collect a few shells, or to As-Sifah
beach while enjoying a scenic drive, Muscat’s coastline is
bound to have a sand-and-sea spot that’s perfect for you.
So gather your friends and family, slather on some sunscreen, grab a picnic basket and you’re all set!
The first thing you have to do is think positive. As clichéd
as it sounds, just remember that tension and stress can
actually be used to increase your productivity, which
means less working time and more TV time. Also, remember that everything you learn counts. Everything.
For our current generation, social life plays a major role
in what teenagers tend to find interesting. It often happens to be that many young people stray from their
studies during the most crucial time of their education;
exam season.
Next, MAKE this period positive. Most of you probably
know about the ten-minute study slots with forty-minute
breaks to calm yourself down because you’ve worked so
much. Then you spend three weeks making a decent
study timetable and then completely disregard it. If it
works out for you, great! Carry on doing what you’re best
at and save yourself from pulling your hair out by the end
of May. However, if that piece of advice DOESN’T work out
for you, I might have a few alternatives.
“So, what is the right option?” you might be thinking. A
teenager’s life should be balanced and time must be distributed equally, rather than us straying off-track and
spending too much time on one type of activity. Start by
planning out your schedule and decide what your major
aim in the long term really is (achieving a life style, or a
growing social circle). Although many people want to
party and they still do, the primary aim of a teenager
should be to accomplish studies and socializing
should be part-time relief.
It is advised to sit down, relax, and put on new glasses.
These glasses should help you look at each task at school
as a challenge instead of a hardship and as an opportunity
instead of an obstacle. It should be used to prove to yourself that ‘you can do it’. If you succeed, you should know
that you are a winner and an example of success. Tick
each task off and reward yourself with that Galaxy bar
that’s been lying under your pillow for three weeks. Get
out of your bat-cave and take a break. I can’t help but
sound clichéd, but things do work out!
Without beating the purpose of this text, I’m gonna
stop writing and you can
take a break by examining
(simply ‘looking at’; don’t
get stressed by big words)
those cute little illustrations
across the page. Just
remember one thing: at the
end of all of this, you will
be thankful you ever had to
study; you will value the
fact that you had an education, and you will look back
at the seemingly prolonged
stress and tension in one
flashback and SMILE!
Wahiba Sands can be your weekend destination if sandsurfing, dune bashing and stargazing appeal to you. The
weather will, of course, be hot during the day (it’s a
desert after all!), though the finger-numbing night time
chill will definitely compensate for it.
Simply going to catch a movie and some ice cream with
friends or family may be the desired, laid back weekend
plan for you. Friendly company and time-off of school
work can help out a lot with stress levels and hectic
schedules.
It goes without saying that summers in Muscat coupled
with upcoming exams do seem like a formidable pair to
cope with, but if you spend your time productively without
getting too bogged down by your heavy workload, then
you’re sure to keep your cool.
However, stress levels can increase drastically if one
sets their focus on studying only. A party or spending
time with friends constantly along the way isn’t too bad
for the health of us teenagers. This is because our brain
forgets to rest; healthy activities that involve enjoying
time with your friends can be a great way to refresh
your mind.
