gratitude and said that it was an honour to have guests of such stature
amidst us. Ma’am congratulated the entire DPS Sharjah family for the
astounding achievements of the school, which is the certification of the
admirable strides DPS Sharjah has made in every field. She also stated

followers of ideals, followers of honesty and integrity. Her speech
induced inspiration and motivation in the hearts of the newly-invested
