Schoolkids showcase unique talents
MUSCAT: “Unique Talent Recognition 2018”, a programme organised by Indian School Muladha, under the auspices of the Board of Directors recently, showcased an array of multifarious and unique talents of students from across the various Indian Schools in the Sultanate.
“Unique Talent Recognition” was meant to harness the inherent talents of students from the various Indian schools in Oman. Unlike other platforms, which focus on conventional academic, cultural and sports talents, this programme, which will be an annual event henceforth, intended to identify, showcase and hone unusual and rare talents in children.
These skills, exhibited with great enthusiasm, included capabilities and achievements, such as addition and subtraction of four-digit numbers without a calculator or paper; magic shows; mimicking sounds with precision; card tricks; instant composition of poems; doodling; beat box, acrobatic postures; juggling; memory challenges; playing chess and the keyboard blindfolded and much more. The various acts showed the underlying passion, discipline and hard work of the children and left the audience mesmerised and spellbound.
Maryam Mohammed Al Zadjali, Director, Oman Society for Fine Arts, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. former Chairmen of the Board Kiran Asher, Yusuf Nalwala, Tonny George Alexander and Wilson V. George were the Guests of Honour. Members of the Board of Directors, School Management Committee, Principals of Indian Schools, teachers, parents and students attended the function.
Dr. Baby Sam Saamuel welcomed the gathering and underscored the significance of the event. “Unique Talent Recognition as an initiative will hopefully gradually expand the current limited definition of “talent”, as perceived by parents and children themselves. This platform is here to make our children believe in their inherent skills and interests and assure them that every skillset they possess will ultimately link together to a larger purpose,” explained Saamuel.
