 * Celebrating the "Professional Development Day"

The participation of **Ahmed Bin Hanbal Independent Secondary School for Boys ** in Al-Rayyan Professional Standards Competition at The New Rayyan Independent Secondary School for Boys   on Thursday, 25th March, 2010 was really effective. The competition was held on the occasion of celebrating the "Professional Development Day".

The competition was held among Boys and Girls' schools teachers and coordinators on understanding the professional standards for teachers and leaders. The school team was formed of the following teachers:

· **Mr. Abdullah Abu Asfour ** Coordinator of Chemistry · **Mr. Methqal Abu Hassanein ** Coordinator of English · **Mr. Ahmed Sultan ** Coordinator of Arabic · **Mr. Adel Bakr ** Teacher of Social Studies · **Mr. Mohamed Mahmoud **** Taha ** Teacher of Mathematics

All representatives of the school have made great efforts, and worked tirelessly for winning the competition. All teams did their best and our school team was crowned second place. Arab and foreign adjudicators from the SEC (Supreme Education Council) added to the excitement of the competition. Even though we came second, it was a great achievement for our school amongst all participating schools for boys and girls. We should not forget the fact that our school belongs to Cohort 6 and newcomers to the standards, however, there was a little difference between us and the first team - Al-Aqsa Secondary Independent School for Girls - and everybody was so happy to win. The presence of Mr. Jameel Al-Shamari, Operator and Principal of our school supported the team in the competition and increased their joy. The school hosting the competition presented a gift and certificates of participation for the school and members of the team. We wish the best of luck to our beloved school – Ahmed Bin Hanbal Independent Secondary School for Boys – in all coming competitions. We should also thank all participants as well as the hosting school for their hospitality.
