This week at Ellesmere Muscat has been a truly remarkable celebration of learning, community, and collaboration. Each day has showcased the vibrant spirit of our school, where students, parents, staff, and community partners come together to embrace the ethos of “Life:Ready.” From an inspiring Primary assembly to thought-provoking discussions on artificial intelligence and exciting sporting events, this has been a week to treasure.
Sharing Learning Through the Primary Assembly
The highlight of today was the wonderful Primary assembly, a heartwarming event where our youngest learners took centre stage. Students enthusiastically shared their learning journeys with parents and members of the Ellesmere Muscat community. The presentations demonstrated creativity, confidence, and a deep engagement with the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework.
From beautifully crafted projects to insightful reflections, it was clear that our students are embracing the IB Learner Profile attributes, such as being communicators, inquirers, and thinkers. Parents beamed with pride as they witnessed the fruits of their children’s hard work and the nurturing environment provided at Ellesmere Muscat.
EmX: Connecting Students with Global Innovators
This week marked the inaugural EmX event at Ellesmere Muscat, a platform designed to inspire and connect students with experts and innovators from around the globe. We were honoured to welcome students and lecturers from the German University of Technology in Oman (GUtech) for an engaging session exploring innovative projects in augmented and virtual reality. Highlights included the preservation of cultural heritage through AR, a guilloché machine simulation, reconstructions of historical landmarks like Tunisia’s Chimtou and Malaysia’s Jungle Train, and an AR-based exploration of Oman’s maritime heritage, focusing on the iconic compass. This engaging session exemplified Ellesmere Muscat’s commitment to critical thinking, global collaboration, and preparing students for the complexities of the modern world.
Basketball with the Omani Basketball Association
On the sports front, the energy was palpable as Ellesmere Muscat hosted a fantastic basketball event in partnership with the Omani Basketball Association. Students across different age groups had the opportunity to showcase their skills and learn from some of the best in the sport.
The event wasn’t just about competition but also about fostering teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship. The support from the Omani Basketball Association underscored our commitment to developing well-rounded individuals who thrive both in and out of the classroom.
A Vibrant Community Spirit
This week exemplifies what makes Ellesmere Muscat such a special place. Our commitment to blending traditional Omani values with progressive, 21st-century learning experiences ensures that our students are truly “Life:Ready.” From nurturing young learners to preparing older students for global challenges, every activity reinforces our dedication to holistic education.
Thank you to all the parents, community partners, and staff members who make weeks like this possible. Together, we continue to inspire and empower our students to reach their full potential.
We look forward to more moments of celebration, connection, and achievement in the weeks ahead. Stay tuned!
