Over 150 students, their teachers and family members participated in the fair titled 'Safollo Ashbei' (success is a must). School Headmaster Mahbubur Rahman inaugurated the fair. A movie was screened, followed by quizzes on vocabulary, extempore speeches, etiquette test and role play. A good number of students took part in the joyful interactions and entertained the audience by reciting poems, telling jokes and singing songs. Later, prizes were distributed among the winners of different competitions. An English language club was formed to help the young learners continue the process of learning the most influential foreign language with ease.
