Pakistani students have beaten other participants from Malaysia, Oman, the Philippines and Thailand in a brilliant show of talent and sporting prowess at the Beaconhouse International Student Convention 2018 (BISC 2018).
The event was held at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in Muscat, Oman. The second and final day of BISC 2018 continued with the same passion and vigour that was exhibited when it began with the spirit of competitiveness and sportsman spirit reigning supreme.
Over 200 Beaconhouse students from five countries gave their best in a host of activities and competitions from various spheres of learning ranging from sports and athletics to science, technology, the visual and performing arts and filmmaking. Through these competitions, the convention encouraged participants to develop their teamwork, creativity, critical thinking and problem solving skills (all under the ambit of 21st Century learning). BISC 2018 provided Beaconhouse students the chance to be on the global stage to promote the noble cause of learning.
Students from Pakistan gave a brilliant performance by cinching most of the competitions to come out on top over all. The first position in BISC Biennale (art competition), BISC Exploratorium (science project competition), BISC Film Festival and BISCLICK (photography competition) all went to Pakistan. Similarly, in the sports arena, Pakistani students secured first position in futsal boys, futsal girls, table tennis, basketball girls, swimming girls and all athletics competitions.
