Doha: The Qatar National Sport Day was celebrated at Birla Public School on Monday, bringing together the staff and student community to honour the importance of health, fitness, and unity. 

The event, which took place on the school grounds, saw active participation from all sections of the school, with the leadership team joining in to highlight the day’s significance.

The celebrations kicked off with a Health Walk from the school’s main gate to the football ground. Leading the walk was Principal Dr. Anand Nair, along with Vice Principals Radhika Rele and Edna Fernandez, and other senior leadership team members. 

The Health Walk also included winners of various national-level sports events, scouts and guides, the school band, and students from kindergarten to senior section. 

The morning was filled with enthusiasm and energy as participants took part in this symbolic journey promoting physical health and wellness. A mass drill, coordinated by the school’s middle school students, was followed the health walk. This synchronized exercise demonstrated the unity and discipline that sports can foster. 

To further highlight the importance of holistic health, the day featured a yoga performance, showcasing the students’ focus, poise, and skill.
Albert Anthony, Head of the Physical Education Department, welcomed the gathering and reflected on the broader significance of sports beyond physical fitness.
