ARIS Participates in 1st ISAAG

This weekend, ARIS Students were able to overcome their fears by participating at the Competition at the El-walk stadium on the 28th of April. On this note, I congratulate the ARIS Athletics Team for their great effort and zeal during the Competition.

ARIS training at El-walk stadium on the 18th April 2018, has really impacted our students. Initially, our students didn't want to compete. Thanks to Doctor Fatma and Madame Alpana for their encouraging words to the Athletics Team, students also started encouraging each other after the training session at El-walk and continued the rest of the training at ARIS.

The participating schools at the El-Walk Stadium this weekend were Al-Rayan International school, Ghana Christian International High School, Akosombo International school, Ghana International School, Tema International School, Roman Ridge International School, SOS-Hermann Gmeiner International School, Association International School, Morgan International School, Faith Montessori International school and more.
