The 90th Anniversary of the 1st Ind. of Armenia

The Sec. II Students commemorated the 90th anniversary of the first Independence of Armenian, by holding a general knowledge contest to all the Int./Sec. students. They had prepared 30 questions and presented it beautifully through a power-point-presentation. This was not just a commemoration but rather a history class by and for the students.

LEVAM mini football finals

May 17, 2008, 6:30 PM was a very special moment for The Arm. Evang. Shamlian-Tatikian mini football team. It was a long match against a neighbouring school --The Arm. National Sophia-Hagopian Sec. School. The game ended three all. After three penalty shots the score was still to no one's favor. Then, it was the turn of the goal keepers to shoot. We went first and scored, but the opposite team's ball did not pass through, and...thus the above picture...and the victory. Well done and congratulations. To view more pictures.
