From the very first moment, the energy in the air was different, joyful, proud, and utterly alive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students arrived dressed to celebrate. Green and white was everywhere: badges pinned proudly over their hearts, little flags waving in hand, and many students wearing beautiful cultural clothes that honoured Pakistan&#8217;s rich traditions. The classrooms themselves had been transformed with festive decorations and filled with food as students marked Independence Day together right where they learn every day.
