Bullying in schools has negative effects on individual students and on the school atmosphere as a whole. Bullying can cause long-term problems for both the victims of bullying and the bullies themselves. Although a common problem in institutions, it is mostly ignored – unless the matter is serious. Recognizing the importance of such a sensitive topic and the need to address it on a large scale, the students of class 6,7 and 8 of Salmiya Indian Model School conducted a special assembly on 28 April, 2022 under the supervision of the English Department. The three grades worked together as a team and presented a melange of thoughts ,ideas and expressions.

The assembly commenced with verses from the Holy Quran followed by the Kuwait National Anthem after which the Principal Dr. Anis Ahmad led the students in the morning prayer. The school song and thought of the day, followed.

The outcome of the presentation was contagious which left the audience in awe. The performance was every bit exquisite and therefore bagged applauds and appreciations of all.
