General Knowledge

When it’s related to competition, students tend to overcome any obstacle hindering their path. This is how three teams overcame all hurdles to reach the final stage of the Grade 7 to 12 General Knowledge competition held by the Academic Dept. A wheel was, partly, the determining factor of the teams’ fate; Science, Geography, History, and Sports were on offer.

Teachers and students in the audience didn’t leave disappointed. They were cheering their teams and learning at the same time. The competition came down to a ‘tiebreaker’ question which shows the level of expertise all competing students had on that day.

“Congrats to the team that won!” Bisher Amer 11BB

“It was very nice that students had fun and benefited at the same time.” Mahmoud Toumar 11BB
