IISR(Embassy of India school Riyadh)


 Dedicated to IISR management,principals,supervisors,teachers , alumnus and the present day students.

I started my schooling in IISR in April 1990.

L.k.g-I remember going there scared ,the first day to be left alone ,my only relief being my elder brother was in the same school.Few of my friends from L.k.g were there in the same class with me till 8th grade ☺️.I remember my U.K.G teacher Ms Sylvia Hartley very well.In grade 1 we had Ms Rizwana,we used to love copying her signature.There were boys in our class back then and it was only when we were in Grade 3 we had a girls only class.We used to go to play pen,had clay modelling competitions,music classes,fancy dress, storytelling etc.

Picnics, Annual days ,funfairs,camp days were all so much fun,we used to look forward to them.

While going for picnics,we used to have a lot of fun in the bus too, playing games.Bringing yummy homemade food and sharing with all.

Last day of exams we used to have water fights.Having chocobar ice-cream from the canteen was another fun thing.There used to be an ice-cream van outside school and on weekly basis ,we used to buy the machines vended ice-cream for 1 riyal.😊.

Our school was known for the role model teachers we had like Ramla Ma'am ,Ms Arzina Akhter,Ms Shali Jacob,Ms Saleem Ara,Fairooz Ma'am,Laila Ma'am,Susan Ma'amMeera mam ,Jaafri ma'am, Nuzhat Ma'am ,sweet Imrana Ma'am(Late) and so many others.

During my high school days,Dad got a chance to be a member of the management committee by election and eventually he became Chairman too.

My  childhood was spent in IISR and it has indeed moulded me into the individual I am today.

I am proud and grateful to have been part of this prestigious school.

Here 's wishing all the alumni a nice get together,which I will definitely miss.

With lots of love,

Dahlia Mohammed Ali

                        Middle age crisis - Middle age is the time when you are almost settled in life, basically it is the time from your youth to old age.

Children are a trust(Amanah) placed on us by our Lord and given to us for a destined time.Nobody gets to choose parents.All babies are born with Fitrah(natural inclination),pure.Then it is the family ofcourse who bring up their children with certain values,morals etc. We live in a world where some have children and some don't ,that again is ofcourse the will of God. Babyhood-A child is born.He/she is given a name and cared for as they are completely dependent.Slowly they start to smile,recognize and explore the world around them. Some personal experiences-  Shaza was born,she was the first granddaughter on both sides too.She was basically a quiet baby,who didn't create much trouble for me. Along came Amani,she was a 'tomboy' who was a little naughty. Liyana was more like Shaza.She was also quiet not very naughty . Aiman ,the boy after these 3 was and is indeed naughty😃. It amaz...
