Language Day 2026: Embracing Diversity Through Language
Though the medium of instruction at Sri Lankan School Muscat is English, the school proudly offers five additional languages—Sinhala, Tamil, Arabic, Urdu, and French—giving students the opportunity to learn a language of their choice. With students representing over 17 nationalities, many also have the unique opportunity to learn and connect with their native languages.
With the aim of further enhancing language competency, the school organizes an annual Language Day. This year, under the leadership of Ms. Saranga, Head of the English Department, and Ms. Ruwandini, Head of the Department of Other Languages, a range of engaging activities were conducted throughout the month of May. With the support of all language and subject teachers, students from Year 1 and above actively participated in events such as recitation, handwriting, creative writing, and poetry.
The award ceremony for the winners was held on Sunday, 31 May 2026, with the participation of the Principal, Deputy Principal, and Head of Academics. Three separate assemblies were organized for this purpose: KS1, KS2, and KS3 & KS4.
During the assemblies, the school leadership-Head of Academics, the Deputy Principal and the principal addressed the students, highlighting the importance of language learning and the valuable opportunity provided to SLSM students to learn multiple languages. They also emphasized the global significance of English as a key language in education, travel, tourism, and commerce.
The event was especially memorable for the Year 1 and Year 2 students, many of whom proudly received their very first certificates.
A heartfelt thank you goes to all the language teachers, faculty and staff for their dedication and hard work in making Language Day 2026 a great success.
