In addition, over 70 students were recognised for their outstanding performances in sports during the 2024 and 2025 season, reflecting the institution’s strong emphasis on holistic development.
The event was graced by Miss Margaret Curran, International Regional Manager South Asia of the Scottish Qualifications Authority, who attended as the Chief Guest. Her presence reinforced ICBS’ longstanding international partnerships and its commitment to delivering globally recognised qualifications that open doors for students both locally and internationally.
