atmosphere with pleasure. As it is proven ped-
agogically, students can learn better and easier
when they are pleased. Rich social activites in a
school can provide this. Moreover, without so-
cial skills, students can hardly present their aca-
demic skills in a social environment. Therefore,
I have lots of plans and projects to improve our
students’ potential.
The paper that you are holding right now is
one indicator of this. Our highly talented club
members insisted so much on publishing this
new edition of our Newsletter that I couldn’t
resist. As the theme of this volume, we decided
to present last year’s panaroma which has full
of accomplishments.
This is of course not to show off, but to inform
people who have never witheld thier support
from us and to show them we are worth their
trust. While viewing last year’s panaroma
that includes just some of the activities of our
school’s, you would be surprised that “Can a
year be so long?”.
Thanks for your time. See you in the next
edition. I wish you all the best.

Summer School in America
In June, a group of our students had a summer school in
New York, USA. The flight took 12 hours. They stayed at
Hofstra University. In the mornings, students had lessons
from native speakers. Lessons were wonderful. Students
had a great chance to improve their English. They have
made a lot of new friends from all over the world. They
practiced English with their native friends. In the after-
noons, they visited spectacular places like the Statue of
Liberty, National Museum, Madame Tussaud, the Empire
State building, etc.
They visited a huge lunapark called Six Flags. They went
shopping to famous malls like 21 century, Roosvelt, TJ
Max, etc.
They also visited White House, House of Parliament,
Space Museum, etc.
Another day, they visited Boston which has Harvard
University and MIT. At the end of the program their minds
and hearts were full of unforgettable memories.
Let’s hear one of them’s words:
I’m Sharo Abbas. I participated in the trip. It was a great
experience for me. It was worth all the money we paid.
It was the best trip I have ever had. We spent amazing
days there. This trip inspired me and contributed to my
personality. I’m a more open-minded person now. Many
thanks to my school and my teachers especially to Mr.
Cemil Akdeniz.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES AT Salahaddin AYYUBI COLLEGE
In our schools, we give a very big importance in social activities. We believe that if students feel like they are at home when they are at school,
they can learn better. In addition to this, students can also improve their communicative skills during these activities. Without communinicative
skills, student can not present their academic skills. Therefore we want our students to be able to express their academic skills that we have
been paying a huge effort to help them gain. You will see a brief preview of our social activites below.
CELEBRATIONS
Spring Festival
We traditionally organise a Spring Festival which is full of activites in our school. Our students exhibited their works on our school yard in April
2012. A science fair were conducted. With the appearence of parents, General Director of our Schools, Director of Educational Affairs of Sulaimani
and some investigators we had a very good time all together. Students performed Kurdish traditional folk dances. Parents brought some homemade
food. Our music club performed a short concert. The program lasted till the evening with lots of joy. It was a big positive effect on our students’
morale and motivation. It was an unforgettable memory for all the participants.
Nishtimani Celebration Newroz Celebration
We celebrated Nishtimani on 8th of March together with
teachers and students. They wore Kurdish traditional clothes
(Jili Kurdi) and performed Kurdish traditional folk dance (Hal-
parke).
Our students and teachers celebrated Newroz on our school
yard. We made a fire for the memory of Kurdish tradition. By
singing songs and performing Kurdish traditional folk dances,
we had a great time all together.
