Idrissi School has always encouraged the students to learn archery - it is a Sunnah sport and has many benefits as well. Did you know that archery:
- Teaches importance of safety
- Improves one’s self-confidence
- Improves patience
- Provides enjoyment
- Improves focus
In conjunction with the upcoming Sports Day, we had an in-house archery competition yesterday - the PANAHAN-IDRISSI Inaugural Archery Challenge! The event was an outdoor archery challenge between the Primary after-school team, Secondary after-school team, and Eco Scout members.
The event poster - Form, Focus, Target!
Eager participants and even more eager family members gathered in the secondary school outdoor court to watch and support this event. The event started with students from the Primary after-school team, followed by the Eco Scouts team, and then the Secondary after-school team after that.

After a brief introduction by the archery coach from Panahan, the games begun! All students need to shoot 3 arrows each, and the best 3 from each team will be selected to the next level.
Students were evaluated by their form, level of focus, and the marks from the arrow
After every shot, marks will be counted in front of the students
Archery is a sport that requires discipline
Some of the shots are really good

Mashaallah look at that double bullseye!
Once all 3 teams have shot their 3 arrows, judges chose the Top 9 archers. The Top 9 archers will be performing in an archery showcase during Sports Day, alhamdulillah!
The Top 9 archers would then have to fight for the Top 3 position. Things were getting really interesting~ To make this round more challenging, the archers had to perform 3 different stances.
The normal stance - standing up
Shooting from the back
Shooting sitting down
Nice shot there, brother!
Once all 9 archers have done their 3 stances, the archery coach announced what they have all been waiting for... who made it to Top 3?
"The Top 3 archers are..."
YAYYYYY! Congratulations to the 3 of you!
Alhamdulillah, the schools very first inaugural archery challenge went very well. Students and parents had a good time witnessing the event - and we have discovered that we have very talented archers in the school! Once again, well done students!
