Celebrating Saudi National Day

This week, Aldenham Prep Riyadh celebrated the 92nd Saudi National Day. It was an important time for the school and nation as a whole to honour all the efforts and commitments that make the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia what it is today. 

Saudi National Day was first observed in 1932 and marks the renaming of the Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It was then recognised as an official holiday in 2005 by King Abdullah, falling on the 23rd September each year. The occasion is considered one of the most essential dates in the Saudi Arabian calendar as it commemorates the unification and modernisation of the Kingdom. 

It is a significant day for the school as it gives way for us to come together and reflect upon the values, morals and traditions of this nation. It’s important for our pupils at Aldenham Prep Riyadh to engage with the customs and teachings of their culture and to develop a strong sense of understanding in the history of this country.
