The event was on the school calendar sent to all parents. We put advertisements in The Week and The Arabic and English Dailies (cost, a great deal more than 200 Rials). We sent an email flier to all people on our school database (2000+ + addresses), we published the event in our online newsletter. <br/>There is a registration online form on the website for Alumni where you can register so we can keep you up with our news. The next reunion will probably be held on Sunday, January 6 2008. Please inform us if there are any other ways of getting you guys to come! We do value you and love to see you back at the school.

I have seen an advertisement for the event in The Week. (Don't know if it was published on anything else) I personally knew about this through some friends of mine, i.e. word of mouth.

Sultan School has done a pretty horrible job keeping in touch with its alumni. I have two nieces and a nephew in the school and they didn't even bother to tell them to tell me. Couldn't this ultra rich school at the very least spend 150 or 200 rials to put a small notice in the newspaper to inform the alumni of the reunion? They reached out only to the freshly graduated alumni. I am class of 1990. My sister 1987. Even my brother who graduated in 1997 was not told about it.<br /><br />I should write an email to the school to tell them that us old timers aren't happy with this. I just can't be bothered.
