The Multinational School community is celebrating the arrival of its first-ever official mascot: Wafi, the Wildcat!
The journey began last year with a school-wide competition to design the new mascot. The winning entry came from Tyler Schwerm, a talented student in Year 7, whose design of a charismatic cat was chosen to represent the school’s spirit.
Wafi, which means ‘loyal’ in Arabic, was unveiled to the entire school during a surprise assembly. The selection of a cat is particularly meaningful: it serves as a tribute to the many stray cats in Bahrain that need a safe home, establishing MNS Adliya as a warm, welcoming home for Wafi.
Congratulations to Tyler for his creative achievement, and to MNS for officially welcoming Wafi to the family!
