MUSCAT: The third in the series, Beaconhouse International Student Convention (BISC) 2018 commenced on Tuesday amidst great fanfare at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in Muscat, Oman. Over 200 Beaconhouse students from five countries are taking part in these events in Muscat. Other than the 200 students present in Muscat, thousands of Beaconhouse students worldwide have participated in activities in their home countries (Malaysia, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, and Thailand) in order to qualify for BISC. The grand convention began with the regal torch-bearing ceremony as it was ignited by students representing 28 nations present at the occasion. Four exhibitions (BISC Biennale, BISC Exploratorium, BISCLICK, BISC Films) were also inaugurated by the Beaconhouse Chief Executive Kasim Kasuri and UMISAA Director (UNESCO Madanjeet Singh Institute for South Asian Arts) Professor Salima Hashmi.
