(MENAFN- Matrix PR) International Schools Partnership (ISP) recently announced the winners of the first ISP Poetry Competition. Launched in March, the competition witnessed an impressive participation from hundreds of students, who wrote poems about the UAE and the upcoming celebration of the “Year of the 50th”.
The winners - Aiman (Aspen Heights British School), Khalid (Nibras International School), Jaydeon (Reach British School), Cayden, and Feras (The Aquila School) will receive a scholarship of 50% on tuition fees at their respective schools for the 2021/2022 academic year. The contest asked for students to create poems about the UAE.
Bharat Mansukhani, Regional Managing Director – Middle East, ISP shares; “We congratulate the winners, and thank all the participants who took the time to share their remarkable poems with us. Students of this generation have so much talent, and it was inspiring to experience the country through their creative lens.”
The winners were chosen by a panel of judges that included: Alisha Patel (Insta Poet), Musab Biroutieh (Award-winning author and Arabic Teacher at The Aquila School), Rachel Riley (UK’s leading designer for Royal Baby Collection), senior leaders and school Principals from ISP.
“We recognize that Poetry can play an important part in developing a child’s language skills. It encourages creative expression and offers a deeper understanding of sound, rhythm and the use of emotion in language. This is why we launched the competition. The poems we have received, and especially the winning poems, will be shared as we begin celebrating the ‘Year of the 50th’ in our schools,” concluded Mr Mansukhani.
