The International School of Choueifat-Erbil proudly hosted its 1st
Annual Sports Tournament for all
its staff working for SABIS® Managed Schools and SABIS® University on Saturday,
June 6th, 2009. Held on the ISC-Erbil campus, the event brought together staff from ISC-Erbil,
Fakhir Mergasori International School, Sardam International School, and the SABIS® University.
The one-day event attracted an audience of locals and students, as well as honorable spectators, most
notably Mr. Taha Berwari, the Minister of Youth & Sports, who threw the jump ball to start the first basketball
game.
In true athletic spirit, teams competed in soccer, volleyball, and basketball and showcased their
skills and talents. In individual events, staff participated in swimming (men and women) and 1000m and
2000m running (men and women). Excitement reached its peak on and off the field during the finals as staff
and school administrators cheered on their teams.
The tournament concluded with the distribution of trophies and medals by the Directors of the participating
schools and the SABIS® Representative in Iraq, Mr. Raed Mahmoud.
In this respect, Dr. Humaira Bokhari, ISC - Erbil Director, seized the opportunity to thank the staff
for their participation and team spirit and the coordinators for providing a well-organized, entertaining atmosphere.
This has been another great success for the SABIS® School Network in Kurdistan.
Staff returned home with a store of memories, looking forward to next year's tournament. /p>
Through the active support of the Kurdistan Regional Government, SABIS® schools in
Kurdistan - Iraq, whether PPP or private, have been playing a major role in improving the standards
of education in Iraq by preparing students to face the challenges that lie ahead.
