The 9th Annual Prize Day, held on June 13, celebrated students’ academic, curricular and extra-curricular achievements. The students also showed their gratitude to their teachers.

Jamie Stewart, associate director of business and technology, Higher Colleges of Technology, Dubai, who was chief guest at the event, underscored the importance of the family and the need to disconnect from smart phones, tablets and all other electronic gadgets at least for some time in their life in order to get connected with the family. He recalled the days when ‘apples’ and ‘blackberries’ were only fruit.

GEMS Director of Asian Schools David Wilson congratulated the entire school fraternity. “Scores and technical competency is not what matters but character and attitude is,” he said emphasising the need of being unique to be successful.— news@khaleejtimes.com
