The third Wednesday of October recognizes Global Dignity Day. The initiative educates & inspires youth to help them better understand their self-worth. The day also taps into the values of kindness, understanding, tolerance, and compassion.

We define dignity as the state or quality of being worthy of honor and respect. The primary principles of Global Dignity Day include:

• The right of every human being to live a dignified life
• Access to health care, education, income, and security to help reach one’s full potential
• The freedom to make decisions about one’s life
• Dignity as the guiding factor for every action
• Our dignity is interdependent with the dignity of others.

All of these factors point to one mission. The mission of Global Dignity Day is “to unite everyone with the belief that we all deserve to live a life of dignity.”

Beconhouse defence campus celebrated Dignity Day with all the zeal and zest keeping Respect and Motivation alive for everyone.

An orientation session was held for parents and students of grade 8 who would be moving to grade 9. The session was an insight about the Cambridge Curriculum as well as getting to know about the different subjects offered. Teachers had prepared wonderful presentations and interacted with parents and students, answering their queries and clearing their confusions.

The session was also about underage driving. Principal Shireen Karamally shared her sorrow and discussed how Rehan Iqbal and Dawood Omer, shook our world by leaving us untimely for their heavenly abode. On 6th May we all heard the tragic news of the horrifying car accident in which we lost two of our young students. The news devastated students and teachers alike; for the grieving families it was an irreplaceable loss. They were the best of friends in life, always together- and now together forever.

Many lives are shattered due to underage drivers going for a joyride in the vehicles of their parents or older relatives. We are aware of many unlicensed drivers going for a short drive – but often overlook the nature of the risks and the consequences to these youngsters. Parents are urged to familiarize themselves with the risks associated with underage driving.
Beaconhouse Defence Campus took the initiative of calling Dr Salman Zubair, who is a road safety ambassador to make students and parents aware of the hazards of reckless and underage driving.

Top 18 Road Safety Rules To Teach Your Students

The energy crisis is the concern that the world’s demands on the limited natural resources that are used to power industrial society are diminishing as the demand rises. These natural resources are in limited supply. While they do occur naturally, it can take hundreds of thousands of years to replenish the stores.

Our Middle Schoolers were praised by their school mates, teachers, visitors and guest speaker Dr. Rana Asif. Moreover, Russian teachers and students virtually visited the project work of each group, asked questions, and appreciated their efforts.

Students were given certificates and were encouraged to present to Russian students who joined the culmination online with their teacher Miss Olga. It was a great learning experience for students as they were confident and well-prepared to present their projects in which they came up with energy crisis solution as well.

Reflective practice is, in its simplest form, thinking about or reflecting on what you do. It is closely linked to the concept of learning from experience, in that you think about what you did, and what happened, and decide from that what you would do differently next time. Reflective practice is an active, dynamic action-based and ethical set of skills, placed in real time and dealing with real, complex and difficult situations.

Developing Reflective Practitioners (DRP) Course for Cluster 24 was conducted by the Instructional Coaches, Ms Talat Siddiqui & Ms Hina Tariq This course is another step towards the continuous professional development of teachers and will help to further refine their teaching practice in order to develop the required 21st century skills among our learners which will make them successful individuals in future.

Earth and the resources of earth make life possible on it. If we were to imagine our lives without these resources, that would not be possible. As life cannot function without sunshine, air, vegetation, and water. However, this is soon going to be our reality if we do not save the earth now.

The Annual Sports Day ‘Earth Saviours’ for our Early Years & Lower Primary students was held on 23rd & 24th February 2022. Active participation of students was seen quite evident as they spread the message of saving the earth, protecting endangered animals, keeping the environment clean & maintaining healthy hygiene. All the races and aerobic displays revolved around this theme.

Ms Kiran Zaidi, the geography teacher 9-F senior school planned a trip to WWF Wetlands to explore and study the mangrove ecosystem was indeed very informative. It was the best learning opportunity for mangroves. From the outset during the visit, it was evident that the mangrove fields needed rehabilitation. Unless the mangroves are rehabilitated, the ecosystem within Karachi will also be equally affected. The neglect of this environmental feature is evident throughout the portions that we visited and studied.
It is also crucial to mention that mangroves are important carbon sinks when compared to natural inland forests. Mangroves play an important role of up taking pollutants channeled into the marine environment. After testing the gulf waters, the results indicated that they were highly saline. This is a major threat to the growth and development of mangroves. However, there are still many opportunities to improve or boost the current level in the growth of mangroves.

The Geography Department at Beaconhouse Defence Campus with the support and encouragement from our Senior Mistress Ms .Rukhsana and Principal Ms. Shireen Karamali ,arranged a field trip for grade IXs, to the mangrove forest managed by the WWF Wasteland Centre.

We took two sections per day accompanied by two teachers and a support staff. The moment we reached the location, students were overwhelmed by the spectacular site managed by WWF. They visually saw what they were learning from the books. They planted mangrove saplings and did a beach cleaning activity. The best thing the students enjoyed was the Mangrove Trail.
The students not only learnt about the mangroves, what they learnt more was empathy, collaboration and analytical skills.

The decor and ambiance added to the aura of creativity.

Teachers and students visited the gallery and left impressed and awe_struck.

Our Regional Director Mr Syed Ammar Haider alongwith our CEO Mr Kasim Kasuri graced the occasion and left leaving wonderful comments.

Mr Khusro Subzwari, a self- taught artist, who has been passionate for art since his childhood, was the guest of honour. He motivated each student to pursue arts, and gave them valuable tips to help them improve their skills.

TSC- Senior School’s students outshone at the Convention Center, Islamabad for the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations while embarking Pakistan’s 75th year of Independence. This has been an event of momentous proportion and a life-time experience for them which could be recounted many years from now on wards.

Amidst all the rapture of joy, it was a moment to ponder for the young talent of the country  to review the setbacks and the achievements of the year. Now it is up to the children, the youth that they should not forget what our ancestors underwent to have us breathe on the land of freedom where many lives had been lost in its struggle. Therefore, this event had turned out to be the food of thought for our young children so that they could brace themselves and become significant in life. We undoubtedly believe in their potential and will maintain the legacy of BSS by providing many more opportunities for the students which will serve as a catalyst to boost up their morale and instill in them the drive to work for their nation.

Special thanks to Ms. Anila Shah as the Event Coordinator  for taking this humongous task upon herself to let the students be a part of the grand ceremony. It was an indeed a great performance!

Learning Festival was held in Tipu Sultan Campus on Monday, 28th February 2022 with full spirits.

The event featured a range of activities for children and parents, aimed at enhancing parental involvement in children’s development and learning. Beaconhouse firmly believes in the importance of the formative years in a child’s development and education, therefore, parents were encouraged to take part in a wide range of interesting and interactive activities together with their children that were planned in the festival.

The festival had a lot of ongoing as well as timed activities and performances to entertain and involve the children and their parents.  It had performances, displays, stalls, panel discussions, and model lessons.

Three panel discussions held in the event were:

• Parents’ Role in a Child’s Holistic Development by Primary Level: The role of the parent is to provide encouragement, support, and access to activities that enable the child to master key developmental tasks. A parent is their child’s first teacher and should remain their best teacher throughout life. Parents offer their children love, acceptance, appreciation, encouragement, and guidance. They provide the most intimate context for the nurturing and protection of children as they develop their personalities and identities and also as they mature physically, cognitively, emotionally, and socially.
• COVID – Lessons learned and way forward prepared by TSC Senior School: The COVID-19 pandemic has claimed more than 1.5 million lives globally, and resulted in the worst global recession since the Second World War. As the coronavirus pandemic rapidly swept across the world, it induced a considerable degree of fear, worry, and concern in the population at large and among certain groups in particular, such as older adults, care providers and people with underlying health conditions. We have learned to practice self-care in a multitude of ways during the pandemic as we were forced to adjust to new work schedules, changes in our daily life routines, and cut back on socializing. We all started seeking out new strategies to counter the stress and anxiety.
• Value Added Parenting by Early Years: Beaconhouse consists of a vast majority of parents who are deliberate about raising a happy and fulfilling child, who make intentional efforts to improve their parenting style. They engage and groom children directly and sometimes indirectly through their daily activities with their children.

Student Performances included:

• Zorba Display: Zorba, a Greek dance is today one of the most popular dances in Greece and globally widespread. Students of Class II presented Zorba.
• Nun Chucks: Nun-chucks is a weapon that consists of two sticks joined by a short length of cord or chain. The crowd was entertained by Nunchucks performance by the students of grade II.
• Yoga Display: Yoga, which is introduced in the Early Years, and students are taught various formations. Children of Pre- Nsy to KG participated in Yoga Display.
• Karate Display: Karate strengthens the mind, develops composure, a clearer thought process, deeper insight into one’s mental capabilities, and more self-confidence. It strengthens the entire body, improves coordination, quickens reflexes, builds stamina and overall health. An amazing Karate display was presented by the students of Primary Level.
• Aerobics: Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness! Aerobic exercise is very important for children. It helps keep their hearts, lungs, and blood vessels healthy. It can also help them keep or get to a healthy weight.So let us get ready for an energetic aerobic display by students of grade I.

  This will be followed by a wonderful Display by our Nursery students.

• Choir Presentations: Singing in choir provides a sense of real belonging, offers new opportunities for learning, encourages student engagement, and also promotes civic engagement. So let us put our hands together for our choir and enjoy the melodious songs.
• Developing Effective Language Skills
• Every social interaction gives students a new opportunity to practice language. Some of our students might need a little guidance from you to engage in conversations, so spark interactions whenever you can. Ask questions, rephrase the student’s answers, and give prompts that encourage oral conversations to continue. Unfortunately, students don’t instinctively know how to have a good conversation. There are many barriers to communicating effectively, but communication is a skill that can be taught. So join us in the auditorium for a discussion conducted by HM Early Years, Ma’am Saba on how to develop effective language skills.

knowledge about the transitional stages in the history of mankind.

Class 5 Students from Walton Campus visit the Lahore Fort

It was the time for the annual school trip for Class V students at Upper Primary, Walton Campus. Lahore Fort could not have been a better place for the youngsters to learn about the Mughal architecture, heritage and culture which ties fittingly with the concepts relating to the Mughal era taught in their classes. The massive Picture Wall at the entrance to the Fort decorated with a vibrant array of glazed tile and mosaics enthralled the students to no end at it while the majestic Alamgiri gate and the colossal stone steps sent the students in rapture, especially when they learnt that they were used by elephants. Other noteworthy, places seen by the students were the museum at the fort which contained numerous relics of that period and the Dewan-e-Khaas. After the grand tour, the children were ready to sit down for a hearty lunch and some relaxing play time with friends. It couldn’t get better than that!

“SMILE” _ transports me to a world beaming with smiles all around. Smile, to me is like fairy dust, which once showered, instantly energizes the whole environment. Without smile this world would’ve been a painting, bright and colorful yet lifeless and dull as a statue.
Is it not the charizma of a smile that instantly connects total strangers and the dawn of a new relationship breaks in???
Smile is a peacefully flowing river, meandering through the plains, while the golden rays of the sun beam over the horizon. It offers, its many selfless benefits to people willing to quench their thirst from it.
Nothing can match the beauty of a child smiling between tears just like the first bronze rays of the sun after a fresh shower.
Smile also has a certain element of melancholy to it. The smile of old parents when they bid farewell to their children to start a new life, the smile of a mother when she holds back her tears and says she’s okay, an exchange of a misty smile between two best friends after an argument and an apologetic smile when u regret having done something wrong and want to make up for it. This kind of smile has its own grace to me.
Smiling is contagious and brings positivity along, while intimidating your enemies. The power of smile is such, that it leads towards peace and harmony!

تاریخ گواہ ہے کہ ہر زبان ترویج کے مختلف مراحل سے گزرنے کے بعد اپنی بنیاد اور اہمیت رقم کرتی ہے۔اردو ترکی، فارسی، عربی اور دیگر زبانوں کے زیر سایہ پروان چڑھی اور دنیائے عالم میں چھا گئی۔آج یہ زبان اپنی مضبوط شاخوں کی مدد سے پوری دنیا میں جانی پہچانی اور بولی جاتی ہے۔

قصہ گوئی اردو ادب کی قدیم تاریخ کا حصہ اور نصاب میں شامل ایک ایسی صنف ہے جو ادب اور الفاط کے فروغ کے ساتھ ساتھ اس دور کے قصوں ،کہانیوں اور تاریخی پس منظر کی اشاعت بھی کرتا ہے۔ داستان گوئی ایک ایسا ہنر جو داستان گو کے الفاظ پر تھرکتا ہوا وہ منظر پیش کرتا ہے کہ سننے والا قصے میں محو ہو کر خود کو اس دنیا کا سمجھنے لگتا ہے۔

مردان بیکن ہاؤس اسکول کے زیر اہتمام مڈل اور سنیئر اسکول کے طلبا و طالبات نے قصہ گوئی کی صنف کی تجدید کرتے ہوئے گیسوئے اردو کے عنوان سے ایک رنگا رنگ اور خوبصورت پروگرم کا انعقاد کیا۔ پروگرام میں قصہ چار درویش کے حوالے سے پہلی بار مڈل اور سینئر اسکول کے طلبا و طالبات نےقصہ گوئی منفرد اور دلکش انداز سے پیش کی۔پروگرام کو مزید چار چاند مشاعرے نے لگائے جب بچوں نے مشہور شعرا کرام کے کلام کو اپنے خوبصورت انداز میں پیش کرتےہوئے سامعین کے دل موہ لیے۔

دیگر پروگراموں میں لوک رومانی کردار، ربن پرفارمنس مزاحیہ مضمون درد مذکر ہے یا مونث، مزاحیہ شاعری میں کلام وہ اکثر مجھ سےکہتی تھی ریاضی کچھ سکھا دو نا اور کشش کے اصول جیسے مضمون کے بہترین نمونے پیش کیےگئے ۔ موسیقی الفاظ کے اتار چڑھاؤ اور سر کے ملاپ نے ایک حسین امتزاج حاضرین و سامعین کے سامنے پیش کیا۔

بچوں کی محنت، دلچسپی اور جزبہ شوق نے پروگرام کے ہر رنگ اور مقصد کو دوبالا کردیا۔رومانی کرداروں نے رنگین  قوس قزح کی طرح محفل کو رنگین کردیا۔ قصہ گوئی کے کردار اور انداز حاضرین کی توجہ کا مرکز بنے

بیکن ہاوس سکول مردان  میں  اردو مباحثہ کا اہتمام کیا گیا ۔ مباحثہ کا عنوان ” شخصیت کی عکاسی ۔۔۔تعلیم کی بدولت یا تربیت کا اثر ۔ عنوان حقیت پر مبنی اور موجودہ حالات کی روشنی میں منتخب کیا گیا ۔جس کو طلباء اور طالبات نے بھر پور انداز میں پیش کیا

مقابلہ میں جماعت ششم تا دہم کے طلباء و طالبات نے حصہ لیا ۔مقررین کے والدین کو بھی مدعو کیا گیا ۔ تقریب میں صدارت کے فرائض رسالپور برانچ کی ایس ایل محترمہ مدیحہ سہیل اور مردان برانچ کی شازیہ رانی نے ادا کئے ۔جج صاحبان کے نتائج کے مطابق  اول دوم اور سوم پوزیشن  پر مقابلہ سخت رہا ، اور دو دو مقررین  پوزیشن کے حقدار قرار پائے ۔ سوم پوزیشن حاصل کرنے والے جماعت ہفتم کے عاموس، اور جماعت ہفتم کی فلزا قرار پائی ۔ دوم پوزیشن جماعت ششم کی رمیسہ  اور جماعت دہم کے عبدالرحمن شنواری قرار پائے۔اول پوزیشن جماعت دہم کے انفال اور ہفتم کے عمیس کریم نے حاصل کی

مباحثے کا مقصد بچوں کے لب و لہجہ ادائیگی اور زبان پر عبور کے ساتھ ساتھ ان کا انداز بیان اجاگرکرنا تھا۔ غیر نصابی صلاحیتوں کو بچوں کی شخصیت کا حصہ بنانے کے لیے ضروری ہے کہ ان کو ہر مہارت میں خود کفیل بنایا جا سکے۔ انھی کاوشوں نے بیکن ہاوس سکول کو بہترین مقررین سے متعارف کروایا۔

بروز 15 نومبر 2021 بیکن ہاؤس اسکول مردان میں انسانی وقار ، عظمت، شوکت ، جاہ وجلال کے نام سے ایک ایسی تقریب کا اہتمام کیا گیا جس میں گورنمنٹ اسکول کے طلباء ، بیکن ہاؤس اسکول کے پرائمری لیول سے جماعت دوم ، جماعت سوم ، جماعت چہارم اور جماعت پنجم کے طلباء کی ایک بڑی تعداد نے حصہ لے کر اسے کامیابی سے ہم کنار کرایا اور عوام الناس میں ان جذبات کو ابھارنے کی حتی الامکان کوشش کی ۔ اس کوشش کی والدین نے بے حد پذیرائی کی اور اس تقریب میں شامل ہو کر اس تقریب کے حسن کو کئی گنا بڑھا دیا۔للّٰہ تعالیٰ نے انسان کو اشرف المخلوقات بنایا اور اسے یہ اعزاز دے کر تمام خلق خدائی پر فوقیت بخش دی ۔ اب انسان پر یہ ذمہ داری عائد ہو جاتی ہے کہ وہ اپنے اس اعزاز کی لاج رکھے اور اشرف المخلوقات ہونے کے خواص پیدا کرے چنانچہ انھی خواص کو بڑھاوا دینے کے لیے بیکن ہاؤس مردان نے ایسی تقریب کا اہتمام کیا کہ جس میں انسانی وقار ، عظمت ،شوکت اور جاہ و جلال جیسے خواص نہ  صرف دکھائی دئیے بلکہ عملی طور پر لاگو ہوتے ہوئے بھی نظر آئے۔
اس تقریب میں گورنمنٹ اسکول کے طلباء کو دعوت دی گئی جنہوں نے بیکن ہاؤس کے طلباء کے ساتھ مل کر اس تقریب کو چار چاند لگائے۔ گورنمنٹ اسکول کے طلباء نے تقریب کا آغاز تلاوتِ قرآن پاک سے کرتے ہوئے پے در پے اپنی ذہانت کے جوہر دکھائے۔ کبھی اپنی مدھر آواز میں نعت خوانی کی تو کبھی نظم پیش کر کے حاضرین کے دل جیت لیے اور یہی نہیں بلکہ کھیلوں میں بھی حصہ لیتے ہوئے پر جوش جذبات کا اظہار کیا ۔ اور پوری طرح تقریب کو کامیابی سے ہم کنار کرایا۔
بیکن ہاؤس کے طلباء بھی اس تقریب کو کامیاب بنانے کے لیے کسی طرح بھی کسی سے پیچھے نہ رہے اور ہر میدان میں کامیابی کے جھنڈے گاڑتے ہوئے دکھائی دئیے۔جماعت دوم کے ننھے طلباء نے اساتذہ کو خراجِ تحسین اس انداز میں پیش کیا کہ ہر لب پر ان کی واہ واہ تھی۔ جماعت سوم کے طلباء بھی کسی طرح بھی پیچھے نہ رہے اور انھوں نے مختلف شعبہ جات کے کمالات دکھاتے ہوئے حاضرین کے دل جیت لیے ، ہر شعبے کو یکساں پذیرائی دی گئی چاہے وہ ڈاکٹر جیسا اعلی مقام ہو یا پھر معمولی موچی ہی کیوں نہ ہو ۔ ہر پیشے کے لیے طلباء نے بھرپور محنت کی اور اپنی اداکاری اور الفاظ کی جادوگری سے اسے انمول اور قابلِ محترم بنایا۔ جماعت چہارم سے طلباء نے مزدور بچوں کا روپ دھارا اور حاضرین پر یہ ثابت کرنے کی کوشش میں کامیاب رہے کہ مزدور بچے ملک کا سرمایہ ہیں اور اس سرمائے کو ضائع ہونے سے بچانے کے لیے پوری جدوجہد اور کوشش کی ضرورت ہے ۔ جماعت پنجم کے طلباء نے معاون عملے کو اسٹیج پر دعوت دیتے ہوئے ان سے آپ بیتی سنانے کی درخواست کی اور ان کے کام کو سراہتے ہوئے انھیں مختلف تحائف سے نوازا گیا۔ اسی سلسلے میں جماعت پنجم کے طلباء نے آکر خدمتِ خلق کے ان عظیم رہنماؤں کی یاد تازہ کر دی جو گو کہ آج ہمارے درمیان نہیں ہیں لیکن ان کا کام تا قیامت زندہ رہ کر انھیں ہمیشہ زندہ رکھے گا ۔ جس کی جیتی جاگتی مثال عبد الستار ایدھی کی شکل میں پیش کی گئی ۔
انسانی عظمت اور جاہ جلال کو زندہ رکھنے کی ایک چھوٹی سی کاوش گورنمنٹ اسکول اور بیکن ہاؤس مردان کے طلباء  نے اس تقریب کے ذریعے کی اور اساتذہ کسی قدر انسانی عظمت جیسے عظیم جذبے کو طلباء میں پیدا کرنے کامیاب رہے۔

In its simplest form, leadership is influencing other people to follow. Therefore, anyone who can influence people to follow them has leadership qualities.Leadership happens at all levels within organizations and society, not just among those who work in defined “leadership positions.”Leadership means different things to different people, different cultures, and in different situations. But it is always a multifaceted role.Effective leadership enables followers to succeed. It sets direction, builds a vision, and adapts as circumstances require. Leadership is about mapping out where you need to go to “win” as a team or an organization. It’s dynamic, exciting and inspiring.

To inculcate concept of leadership Student Council 2022-23 is selected after following whole Election procedure.Students took part in whole election procedure with zeal and zest.

Elections continued for about a week.Whole school participated in Elections.Students elected their Prefects.Head Boy,Deputy Head Boy.The whole procedure ended up as wonderful experience.

For every patriotic citizen of Pakistan, 6th September, Defence Day of Pakistan is most special event for any Pakistani. This day reminds a lot of ever green, memorable sacrifices, achievements belonging to this great day. This holds special importance for everyone who loves Pakistan from the core of his heart.Beaconhouse Boys Campus Sahiwal arranged ceremony to celebrate courageous moments of 6^th September.Let’s crack on the event.

We were all seated on our respected seats and after an expected waiting time the event began with a few beautiful verses of the Holy Quran which was followed by its translation.Then the conductors announced a skit by grade V and VI.It was about how today’s generation doesn’t know how many people sacrificed themselves to protect Pakistan  from its neighbor’s fury.After that some beautiful voices from our school sang the song  which was honestly heartwarming.

Moving over ,next there was a role play performed by grade VI and VII on a song commemorating the dead in the fight with India,this was an amazing performance .Following that there was an acting showing the fight which occurred in Lahore,6 September 1965.The acting by senior classes was breathtaking and showed prominent acting talent in them. This was one of my personal favorite parts of the event. 

After that there was the honoring and commemorations of Army Officers who sacrificed themselves.First was M.M.Alam known for shooting down 5 IAF Air Crafts in one minute.Second,Raja Aziz Bhatti, was a Pakistan Army officer, he was awarded the Nishan-e-Haider for his actions of valor. A few other brave men were also honored. At last we sung national anthem of Pakistan,our symbol,our source of courage and enthusiasm. 

I was really astonished by the co-operation and performance of everyone who participated.The choir was filled with beautiful voices and the acting by senior students was breathtaking.Generally speaking it was an entertaining and mesmerizing event. I t was indeed remarkable day.Pakistan Zindabad!

Back to School

August 15 2022, a hot, sunny day. Joyful faces could be seen everywhere. 160 students from Beaconhouse Boys Campus Sahiwal, including me, sat down in shining black chairs to witness the back to school ceremony. We sat in the school’s assembly area with the carpeted and glamorous stage at the front. The teachers were all seated on the right, the students were arranged by class from left to right in an ascending order with the headmaster and the school coordinator at the front.

This is the first time in 3 long months that they have gathered here in the school and today will mark the start of academic year 2022-23.

The day began with the name of Allah and verses of the Holy Quran were recited which everyone listened to with the utmost respect and attention.

Following the recitation, I was invited to share my thoughts on a new academic year. I stood on the dais and delivered a speech welcoming the students back to school, congratulating them on the start of a new academic year and continuously stressing how important it was to explore and have fun doing it. This was followed up by a student’s patriotic speech on the importance of Pakistan and how it was above all others (Independence Day had passed on the 14^th).

All the teachers introduced themselves, their names, what subjects they taught and which classes they taught. Thus the suspense about new teachers which comes with a new academic year was finally quelled.

The honorable headmaster, Mr. Jamil Ahmed, welcomed all the new admissions to school as well as those that had bifurcated into grade 4 from Beaconhouse Girls Campus. He also formally welcomed everyone back to school and congratulated both students and teachers on successfully completing a new academic year.

The ceremony ended with the melodious national anthem of Pakistan being played and everybody joining in on the singing.

It really is great to be back at school.

Hyderabad is a very fascinating city when it comes to the likes of chess players, it is quite possibly the
single greatest concentration of high level players in the entire country, which is astounding considering
the meagre population it hosts within itself. However, unfitting of its reputation housing such chess
giants in the community, it lacks participation from players who are less skilled and experienced with the
sport. Aware of this gap between the levels of players, and wanting to give players who might not
otherwise have had an opportunity to participate in tournaments, the Anees Hassan School launched a
chess tournament within its parameters. With assistance from the Sindh chess Association and the
Hyderabad Chess Association, it was divided into three main categories. The Men’s under 16 section, the
Women’s under 16 section, and the open rapid championship open to everyone willing to participate.

Out of these three categories, Beaconhouse  Qasimabad Campus, participated in two of them and
subsequently won in both of them. The open was, as we can only describe it, a massacre. The second
best chess player to ever grace Pakistan participated, and represented Beaconhouse at the Open
championship. He, National Master Hafeez-ul-Rehman, won effortlessly and brought the first placement
home. However, the Men’s under 16 was much more eventful as competition was fierce. Out of the
hundred or so participants involved, only six came from our school. And yet, through trials and
tribulations, came out as the six position holders. From the first place, to sixth, all of them represented
our school and secured what could unanimously be called a victory for Beaconhouse  Qasimabad Campus.

The competition began at around 10 am, and lasted until 5 pm, lasting an egregious 7 hours throughout. Although all the six participants came from the same home soil, competition against each other was not uncommon as when in a tournament, you do not see who you represent, but rather only see yourself. The lead
fluctuated, with it finally being surrendered to Muhammad Mujtaba by Muhammad Juman Junejo. Third
and fourth were often engaged in skirmishes over the checkered sixty-four squares, having the
placement often sway between them. Finally, after a grueling 7 hours of playing, Sir Mujtaba of the
Hyderabad Chess Association crowning Muhammad Mujtaba the champion of the Men’s under 16, and
heralding Muhammad Juman as the runner-up; as well as announcing the results of all who followed.
The third was Yassal Memon, the fourth was the editor of this very blog, Syed Haseeb Raza, the fifth was
the favorite amongst them, having a prior reputation of winning tournaments, Hasnain Ali, and the sixth
was another of our own students, Vineet Rai.

It was truly an honor for Beaconhouse Qasimabad Campus to participate in such a prestigious event, and we, from Beaconhouse, sincerely hope the best for all who participated in their future chess endeavors. We thank
the Hyderabad Chess Association for hosting this event and we thank Anees Hassan for choosing to be
the venue of this tournament.

“To know a man fully, you must engage him in a game of play; For a single hour of chess tells more
about a person than years of conversation”-Garry Kasparov, longest reigning World Champion.

As I, Yesaal Akhund, reflect upon my exhilarating experience in the Math Olympiad, I can confidently say that Mathematics can be a riveting and enjoyable subject rather than a daunting and stress-inducing one. The event took place on February 23rd 2023, at Jubilee Campus in Karachi, and I was privileged to be a part of it.

The competition’s objective was straightforward: the team with the highest number of accurate answers would emerge victorious. Each team comprised three participants and a backup member, and representing the Qasimabad Campus were Juman, Manav and Sheryriar.

The Mathematical problems appeared deceptively straightforward yet subtly intricate. Although all the teams fared exceptionally well in Round One, Round Two was an intense, nail-biting battle. Despite the tough competition, we managed to clinch the third position, although the Johar Campus team came out on top with an impressive score of 195 points.

I extend a massive shout out to our extraordinary Mathematics teachers who went above and beyond to support us. Our teachers devoted their time and effort to conduct daily practice sessions that enabled us to excel in complex equations. As I pen down my thoughts, I feel immensely proud of our teachers, whose unwavering dedication played a significant role in helping us secure a coveted spot in this highly anticipated competition.

When I first stepped inside my O Level business class, every thing seemed alien, and rightfully so
considering that I had left school for a year in eighth grade. With my rusty academic concepts and almost-forgotten
basics, I was determined to build myself from the scratch in the first year of O Levels and somehow succeeded
in doing so. Just when the lady luck drifted towards my side and things started to take a positive turn, mother fortune struck her cards and the
global pandemic doomed us in March of 2020.

During such apocalyptic and trying times, the only glimmer of hope
glistening in my future was the extra time that I had gotten to prepare for some of the O Level subjects
way before my peers. As a result of constant digger dedication, I appeared in English Language and Business Studies the
following year, securing two A*s in my academic portfolio; a much-needed confidence boost this accomplishment was.

With the same
motivation and discipline, I continued to appear in three of my compulsory exams as well as Commerce in
October of 2021 and was left behind with just Mathematics, Economics, Accounts and Additional
Mathematics. Having given all my sweat and tears to my academics, I had hoped for a stellar O Level
results and felt like all the universes had aligned for my happiness when I received a total of 9A*s and
1A in August 2022.

Just when, for the first time in what seemed like an eternity, I got the chance to sit back and relax
during my summer sabbaticals, and this is when life had more twists to offer: due to some family reasons I had to
switch my field from business to engineering and appear in O Level Physics, Chemistry, and Computer
Science for my equivalency in the future. Now that I look back, life had given me yet another chance to
prove myself and I did. Despite the shortest time left in October exams and A levels starting
simultaneously, I bagged three more A*s, getting my total to 12A* and 1A. It was a moment of utter joy,
relief, and overflowing gratitude.

My triumph has made me an empathetic and I wish every Cambridge student the same road to glory. My guideline for the O Level students is:

1) Do not take your sabbaticals for granted. It is the golden time for you to prepare yourself for CAIEs
and do something productive. Trust me, any O Level subject can be prepared within three months of hard
work.

2) Don’t appear for the subjects early if you think you are not well-prepared. Rushing into your CAIES is
more detrimental than you think. It has dire consequences. CAIE has no sympathy for complacency.

3) Only appear in extra subjects, the ones you’re confident about getting outstanding grades in. If you plan on studying in Pakistan know that, in the end, your prime concern is
getting a good equivalency for the universities which is only calculated from the 8 subjects.

4) Always consult your teacher or an academic counselor before appearing in any subject earlier than
usual. He need his expertise to know where you exactly stand.

5) Ensure you appear in all your school exams and mocks as they’re the perfect way to weigh
your preparation under actual exam conditions.

Last but not the least, knowing that grades are not the end of the world is a must. Our only task as students is to put in
our best endeavors, enjoy the learning process, and move on to bigger challenges in life. As much as your
grades provide you with a path to follow in life, they are not the path itself. The only thing that counts towards the end is what you learned, your discipline towards academics, and the efforts that you put in.

Though now eclipsed by new exam schedules and more rigorous academic expectations, achieving 10A* in my Ordinary Level examinations was indeed the technicolor daydream of my younger self. I consider myself the hero of no personal epic. Whatever I have achieved is the product of a great support system. My learning curve throughout the three years has been massive, not just in academic aspects but also in social and personal dimensions. Be it battling through barriers in education created by the Coronavirus, or making my way through quite a few changes in career streams, my major takeaway has been the power of perseverance when it comes to one’s academic challenges. Simply seeing minor ups and downs as not black-and-white experiences, but rather opportunities for growth, is what the journey is all about. 

I started my high-school as a commerce student but then ventured out to engineering, sensing that I had a long-term interest in the latter. This career change entailed catching up on months of coursework that I missed was quite an ordeal, but tons of free educational resources and regular online school classes made the transition easier. Little did I know that I’d also be taking a commerce subject, Economics, as one of my electives, and would end up achieving a regional distinction in it. What I learned from this uncomfortable but worthwhile chrysalis, was that the future has its own quirky ways to unfold itself and that one should sit with their mistakes to analyze what went wrong, but not ponder over them to the extent that they start to paralyze us. 

Grade 10 was the next step up the ladder. It was time for us to appear for our CAIE examinations for the very first time. I recall it as a pretty nerve-tattering year, especially because a considerable chunk of it was marred by the Coronavirus and there was a lot of catching up to do. In hindsight, this was the year where I really learned what arduous self-study meant: having a handful of self-motivation and discipline, ensuring that you are being as resourceful as possible, looking up several studying and repetition techniques, and filtering through them to see what suits you the best, reaching out for crucial feedback, and developing not just one’s knowledge but also answering techniques to set yourself up for ease and flow. In addition, this was also the year where I made some of the most cherish-able friendships. They not only created an environment of support and encouragement but also helped me de-stress immensely. Despite the exams being postponed to the next exam series, the entire journey proved to be really fruitful for me. 

11th grade started with apparent traces of the previous year because we were yet to appear for our O-2 exams. Having to prepare for the remaining half of the exams was a constant banshee wailing in the back of our minds. Paving through with individual grit, my batch appeared for its exams in the November 2021 series. The first time you sit an official exam is like no other. Learning to keep your nerves under control, juggling not just the workload but also exam-induced anxiety is a pretty Herculean task. Thankfully, coupled with this is unrelenting support from well-wishers, which makes the whole process not just sail smoothly, but also become memorable. With flying colors, the exam series was over and we were preparing for yet another exam series scheduled in May 2022. Regular group-study sessions, alongside extensive past paper and query-solving sessions were the trademarks of this time period. I also decided to appear for another elective, Sociology, as I wanted to have another social science under my profile. 

In these three years of surviving rigorous routines, learning different tricks of the trade for each subject, and trying my level best to ace the tests, I have learned a legion of lessons. Your best is going to look different every day. The process is the best part of the achievement. This might not seem like the case when one has to come back to unfinished to-do lists and unsolved past exam questions on a daily, but when time has gone by, one begins to miss it, the high and low tides alike. In the words of Fyodor Dostoevsky, whose intellect encompasses issues greater than a high school journey: “Oh, you may be sure that Columbus was happy not when he had discovered America, but when he was discovering it.”

The term‘PinkTober’ has been surfacing all over the internet recently, in support of Breast Cancer
Awareness Month, which is commemorated during the month of October.
Beaconhouse School System has displayed its support for the awareness of breast cancer via organising
an orientation for its female high school students and staff. Dr. Nusrat Nisar and Major Dr. Faryal Sadaqat
were kindly invited to teach reliable information about breast cancer to everyone present, through a
running presentation of the topic as well.
As both of the remarkable doctors explained, breast cancer is a disease that has staggeringly high
statistics, particularly in the region of South Asia, where multiple factors contribute to its alarming
numbers. Self-examination is crucial to detecting this cancer early on, and the invited doctors clearly
explained the correct way of doing so.
The orientation lasted a little over an hour, during which both doctors managed to relay vital information
about the illness, e.g; what exactly it is, what are its signs, ways to prevent such a cancer, ways to detect
it, what risk factors contribute to its development, how is self-examination carried out, and more.
Nearing the end, Major Dr. Faryal Sadaqat and Dr. Nusrat Nisar also answered the staff and students’
questions, leaving everyone satisfied with what they learnt after it was over. Shields of Honour were also
presented to both doctors, and everyone who attended the session received a pink ribbon with the word
‘PinkTober’ on it, to wear on their arms and showcase support for the matter.
Breast cancer is nothing to be ashamed about, and by education and awareness only will we be able to
identify and treat such a terrible illness. Beaconhouse will continue to support and educate its students
on important global matters such as this, so that little by little, positive differences can be brought about,
starting right here, from school.

6th of September is a day many remember, as the events that transpired were ones not ever to be forgotten. It was a war that consumed the lives of thousands of Pakistani martyrs. To commemorate and celebrate the valiant heroes who sacrificed their lives, Beaconhouse Qasimabad Campus, organized a  Speech competition where students from class eight gave their own opinions in a speech in front of an audience.

Our speech competition started off with recitation of few verses from the Holy Quran followed by the National anthem; After that, Kashaf, the narrator of the event, started the competition. The first one to present the speech was Haseeb Raza Shah, who gave a wonderful speech. After him was Areesha, who, too, gave an amazing speech. Eventually, we reached the last person, who was Fatima Sheikh. Out of all the amazing speeches, the one’s that stood out were Ushna Memon and Fatima Shiek’s, who both got third position, Sana Pirzada and Mujitaba Junejo, who both got second, and finally the best one being done by the first place holder, Muhammad Juman Junejo. All of these were outstanding and awe-inspiring. To end the competition, Principle of the school, Sir Kashif Hussain Rajper, personally came and commemorated 6th of September, as well as announced the positions of everyone. This was followed by an award ceremony where all position holders were given a prestigious certificate, which marked the end of the speech competition.

It was a very interesting and enlightening experience, expertly organized and managed by everyone involved. It was extremely effective in promoting Defense day and celebrating, as well as mourning, the sacrifices of those who gave their lives for us.

Quotes

“The competition was very nice, and the judgment was spot on!”-says our blog writer, Mujtaba Junejo.

“I loved the song at the end, — could really sing!”-says third position holder, Ushna Memon.

“It was a very well organized event, and everyone enjoyed it!.”-says our blog editor, Haseeb Raza.

Alongside ensuring that its student body gets a breakthrough from taxing routines, Beaconhouse also aims to inculcate awareness and create agency in times of calamities. 11th of September proved the perfect avenue for this, with Pakistan going head-to-head against Sri Lanka for the Asia Cup Trophy. 

The match was the final T20 game of the tournament, and a highly anticipated event. The pupils of grade 11 to A-Levels made it on time, everyone’s heart and brain rife with excitement and anxiety alike. A nail-biting match, everyone was on the edge of their seats for their seats throughout. Be it rejoicing every boundary alongside friends, lamenting each fallen wicket, or sharing their takes on particular situations, the vibrance of the crowd showed that this event will be etched in the permanent memory of all those present. 

The ultimate aim of the screening was to collect funds to aid Internally Displaced People and other flood victims. This fostered a sense of altruism and being present for others in such dire times. With a major chunk of Pakistan being flooded, using one’s privilege wisely is the need of the time. 

Even though the result was not the one we desired, the togetherness of the whole event and sportsman spirit made it truly worthwhile!

What is Defence day?

The 6th of September, 1965, marks the day when the Indian army made an unprovoked attack on Pakistan. Despite fewer weapons, our national heroes retaliated immediately to defend their motherland. Under the supervision of the United Nations, the two agreed on a ceasefire on the 23rd of September, 1965. This day is commemorated as the Defence Day of Pakistan annually.

Why do we celebrate it?

Defence day is celebrated to pay homage to our fearless and honorable soldiers. We honor the blood, sweat, and tears of our brave armed forces. Over the years, they have made millions of sacrifices, strived, and stayed awake all night to protect this nation against its enemies. They do not let the citizens encounter any inconvenience. Hence, we celebrate this day to raise awareness of its significance and encourage the youth to join the military and serve their country.

How did we celebrate it in our school?

The celebration began with a morning assembly where the students spoke words of appreciation for the martyred. The event then continued with a patriotic musical performance. Moreover, the middle school students dressed up as soldiers and held props to feel like gallant soldiers. An art competition was also held on the same day, in which my peers and I enthusiastically participated. We were instructed to draw an image which visualized the assigned couplet. Equal time was allotted to each group. “Watan mein jab bhi sar-e-dasht koi phool khila, dekh kar teray shaheedoon ki nishaani roya” was one of the couplets assigned. The participants completed their projects in cooperation with their group members, and the best posters were rewarded with “first, second and third” positions. My group achieved 2nd position in the contest!

Through this event, many of my peers realized the importance of the Pakistan Army, which reinvigorated in them a sense of commitment to our nation and the will to go above and beyond for our country!

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all” ~ Helen Keller

The excursion trip was arranged for the students of Early Years & Lower Primary by the school administration after the hectic time we spent during the COVID-19. The place to be visited was Iris Resort Sahiwal which is at a distance of 15 minutes from school. Iris Resort is a place worth visiting and has a zoo, cafeterias and a joy land.

A glimpse of the beauty of Iris Eco Resort is as follows:

Students left the school at sharp 8:45 am and reached the resort at 9 o’clock.

Very well said by Ibn Battuta:

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.”

A fairy tale is a magical story for children, like “Cinderella” or “Rumpelstiltskin.” If you read a story that begins, “Once upon a time,” chances are it’s a fairy tale. A story doesn’t have to include any fairies at all to be considered a fairy tale. The characters and images of fairy tales have cast a spell over adults and children for centuries. These fantastic stories have travelled across cultural borders, and been passed on from generation to generation, ever-changing, renewed with each re-telling. Few forms of literature have greater power to enchant us and rekindle our imagination than a fairy tale.

The Wizards of Fairytales activity was conducted by the students of Kindergarten classes. The students took part in plays which showed their favourite fairytales. Here are some pictures taken on the day the activity was conducted by Kindergartens Violet and Blue; performing “The Beauty and the Beast” and “The Sleeping Beauty“:

Furthermore, classes KG Red and Yellow also showed enthusiastic participation from their behalf. The students performed short plays of “Frozen” and “Cinderella“:

By doing so, students showed their imaginative capacities and showed potential to carry out such tasks proficiently. Additionally many of the students became more curious as now, fairytales and stories being incorporated into their learning sparks pulls their attention and helps them understand and grasp concepts more clearly. Fairytales also prove to guide little ones’ moral compasses as well, causing them to be especially useful for one’s upbringing and growth.

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”  is a very famous English proverb. We all have heard it at least once in a lifetime. Sports are a very crucial part of everyone’s life which helps the participants to learn various virtues like teamwork, coordination, and also helps to keep the body strong and healthy. Hence, sports help you to understand the importance of physical activities.

Many might argue that study or books are more important than sports. But the truth is that both are equally important in life, in fact, both are the two faces of a single coin. Continuous work not only tires you but also reduces your productivity. So, to have better productivity and focus, it is better to have a sports activity adopted. Different classes took part in the Annual Sports Week here are some pictures of our little champs from Pre Nursery and Nursery:

The sports week also included the highlights of stars from kindergarten classes. 

Grade I participated in different races and displays as well.

Mr.Shahbaz Khan, our P.E teacher is a certified Martial Arts trainer. Students of Grade II displayed some wonderful Karate’ moves under his supervision.

An amazing display of Yoga postures by our young athletes of Grade III was held. The most popular performance of the event… Shuffle dance, was performed by students of Grade IV .

Last but definitely not the least, here come the young athletes of Grade V!

On 31st of March, the culmination of the School Project, “Destination Pakistan,” was held at LMA Primary 11/FCC with full enthusiasm. The teachers and students of Class fours worked hard to make it a successful event; presenting all the five provinces of Pakistan showing diversity of various cultures of our beautiful country; Pakistan. Mothers also witnessed the colourful event and appreciated the well organized event.

On 6th of November,2021, 1st Parent Teacher Meeting was held at LMA PRIMARY 11 FCC. After a long gap Parents came eagerly to discuss their child’s progress in academics as well as their participation in class and school activities. Parents were happy to see their children well settled in school; as students were getting the feel of working hard in their studies and going through various school activities, meeting their friends, getting to know new ones, helping some; learning something new from others. This is all about Education as it  is a shared commitment between dedicated teachers, motivated students and enthusiastic parents with high expectations.

LMA PRIMARY 11 FCC celebrated Iqbal Day. The students of Class V participated in a tableau on one of Iqbal’s famous poems; depicting the meaning of how to recognize oneself. Class III students read out poems of Iqbal in a beautiful manner; focusing on good pronunciation and intonation. Well done, Girls! You all did a great job.

The strong nations have strong history of nation language and heroes . Poetry of Iqbal holds the most essential place in the diversity of Urdu language .His poetry has great spell on the people of all ages and cultures. Iqbal day is organized and celebrated on 9 November every year around the world as a tribute to Allama Muhammad Iqbal, the “Poet of the East”. The day is well regarded, as for its association with the true legend who has envisioned the ideology of Pakistan. The day recalled the history and refresh the essence of literature, unfolds the sacrifice, highlighted efforts of Muslim Hereo , whose wisdom and ideology, is what led the Muslims of the subcontinent to a point of unity. The nation salutes him for his divine efforts and believes. We inculcate the respect and regard for our national poet in our students.

On Thursday, 4th November, 2021, Beaconhouse School System celebrated its 46th Birthday with lot of enthusiasm and fervor! Many students made birthday cards and posters to wish, some brought flowers thus showing their love and appreciation for their school.

Chocolates were distributed among students and a scrumptious cake was shared with the teachers to celebrate its existence. Below are some of the glimpses of the celebrations https://fb.watch/97i4Fx5z2U/

Read the brief history of BSS and its accomplishments in these 46 years….

The Beaconhouse group has over 315,000 fulltime students in eight countries and is possibly the largest school network of its kind in the world. Established in November 1975 as the Les Anges Montessori Academy with 19 toddlers, Beaconhouse has since grown into an international network of private schools, imparting distinctive and meaningful learning to students all the way from birth – through its partnership in Pakistan with Gymboree Play & Music – to post-graduation, through Concordia Colleges and the Beaconhouse National University.

Of these students, over 111,200 study at the group’s flagship network, the Beaconhouse School System, while the remaining are largely enrolled at The Educators, a parallel school network operated by the group with over 200,000 students. Other students are in Beaconhouse schools overseas.

The Beaconhouse of today is thus much more than just a stand-alone school. Through distinct and independent divisions across multiple destinations including the UK, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Oman, the UAE, Pakistan and Belgium, it caters to the education and training needs of a large and diverse group of individuals of varying ages, socioeconomic backgrounds, and nationalities, with its activities also extending beyond education in some countries.

LMA Primary-11FCC inspires its students to become enlightened citizens proactively involved in their communities and the world. Recognising our responsibility as a leading global educator, to teach this core value we prioritise dignity at its best.

Every year Global Dignity Day is celebrated in our campus with optimum involvement from students of every grade level. This year was no different. Our students recognized the dignity of labour and honoured the junior staff: peons, ayahs, office boys, caretaker, sweepers and guards by thanking them for their untiring duties around the school. Students made beautiful handmade thank you cards to acknowledge the junior staff in our school.

Students also made inspiring posters using their creative abilities on Global Dignity Day which were displayed on huge kiosks in the foyer near the main gate. Have a look at their creative endeavors!

Our younger students often confuse the term dignity with respect: respect is earned. You are respected by others for what you have achieved, experienced and how you have handled yourself as you have achieved accomplishments. however, dignity is: All people have the right to be recognized for their inherent humanity and treated ethically. Dignity is a given. You just have it and no one can take it away. Both these words have profound meaning, so it’s only normal that our little ones can struggle to truly understand or internalize their significance.

“Every soul is beautiful and precious; is worthy of dignity and respect, and deserving of peace, joy and love” ~Bryant McGill

“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.” — Audrey Hepburn

Unquestionably, Earth has been a giving planet. Everything humans have needed to endure life, and thrive, was provided by our beautiful planet. Therefore, to demonstrate support for environmental protection, students of Class V planted different plants, made organic post by disposing fruits peels and soil in a closed container.

They watched presentations and discussed about the issues of environmental pollution especially global warming. They researched on the ways of reducing pollution, thus decided to work on their organic gardening project. They collected organic rubbish and with the help of the gardener, they prepared compost which involved the use of only natural products to grow plants.

The aim of the activity was to make the students aware of minimizing destruction to living and non-living things in the natural environment and to create an ecosystem that nourishes and sustains soil microbes, insects and plants rather than just putting seeds in the ground and letting them grow

“My memories mean a lot to me, and I hold them close to my heart”. Radhika Apte

That difficult yet memorable time of the year has come again “The Final Day”. This day is not only about moving to the new class, but is also filled with tears of joy and sadness containing all the beautiful and unforgettable memories. As Haruki Murakami said: “Memories warm you up from inside”. The early days of a student in school are packed with a lot of joyful activities. The last day is memorable not only for the kids but also for the teachers as well. It’s a time to be a sign of celebration, goodbyes and moving towards the new class with hope and confidence.

To make this very last day of students more special and indelible, one can arrange a get together or a costume party but, BSS Steel Town Campus Early Years thought of a tremendous idea by arranging a never-forgetting “Masquerade Party” for the Early Years students.

A “Masquerade Party” is a forerunner to the present-day costume party. Dressing up, while accessorizing with masks makes your party astonishing and surprising as well. To make this “Masquerade Party” more fun and exciting, the students were asked to wear not just any costume but their favorite superhero, cartoon character or any other character of their choice.

The students of Early Years flabbergasted us with their amazing and breath-taking costumes where some showed up as Spider-Man while others surprised us with their Superman looks.

The young girls were also at the top with their Fairy. Snow White and Cinderella dresses to add some glamour to the party.

The masks with the costumes were a bombshell. The party was crammed with laughter, rollicking activities and delicious food brought by the students. In the end, the teachers gave some warm hugs to their little students and wished them the best of luck for their next class. The students of Early Years will surely keep in mind this day as a beautiful recollection.

A parent’s involvement is not only just questioning about their child’s studies from his/her teacher but actively participating in his leaning journey including different functions and activities arranged by their child’s school management.

Beaconhouse School System promotes parents involvement in their each and every function and in classroom activities as well so that the teachers and parents can work together to create a successful learning atmosphere so that the students can grow not only in learning but also be self-confident and can have better social skills.

Keeping in view the social studies topic of “people and professions”, and to explain this topic in a more practical way, the teachers of Class I invited the parents of their students, having different professions such as doctor, teacher and engineer, in school to participate in their children’s learning and to build a healthy parent-teacher relationship. To achieve this goal, different activities were also organized.

In activity one, a session was planned where the parents were asked to share about the nature of their profession and how well they can perform their duties. Afterwards, the students asked them different questions regarding their line of work and parents tried their best to answer all the queries. The purpose of this activity was to make the students more confident socially and be able to learn that every profession requires hard work, and dedication in leaning, that leads towards success.

Another activity was structured where the students were asked to think about any profession and then write about the details of that profession, how to be successful in it and what can be the pros and cons of that profession. This task was arranged to enhance the students critical thinking skills and how much they are aware of their surroundings full of professions.

To build the foundations of a school, a parent’s involvement is very crucial. It will not only help the students to reach towards academic potential but also make them socially successful.

Eid is indisputably the festival that endorses the spirit of comradeship and endearment. This event builds the sense of gratitude towards Allah among all the Muslims. Thus, to catch some mesmerizing and exciting moments, Eid Milan Party was held in Beaconhouse School System Steel Town Campus on Friday May 13, 2022. Children came to school with a feeling of great enthusiasm and eagerness in their eye-catching and scintillating dresses. Children were delighted and cheerful as they decorated their classes with buntings and balloons and blithely shared their food with peers. Headmistress Mrs. Nusrat Jokhio, Senior Mistress Mrs. Samina Naz and school coordinators also visited their classes to share their happiest moments of the day.

The true meaning of “Eid-ul-Fitr” is the “Festival of Breaking the Fast” and sometimes named as “Meethi Eid” as well. It is a very joyous and important festival in the Islamic Calendar and was started by the Holy Prophet “P.B.U.H” himself. We celebrate this day every year exuberantly after a certainly blessed Holy month of Ramadan as merriment of ALLAH “S.W.T” giving you the potency to get through the Ramadan successfully.

Eid-ul-Fitr is a cheerful, bubbly and a full of colors occasion. It is a day of never-ending arrangements, making of sweets and savories’, family get-togethers and last but not least the best part of the day is Eidi. People tend to dress up in new and nice clothes and have fun on this auspicious event.

Those who say that Eid is just three days’ celebration needs to visit our beloved country Pakistan as here we not only have Pre-Eid celebrations but also have post-Eid festivities such as Eid Milan Parties. Such kind of parties is particularly arranged by schools, offices, or friends who couldn’t celebrate this lovely event together.

An amazing and with never ending fun, Eid Milan Party was organized by Beaconhouse School System, Steel Town Campus, on May 13, 2022. This party was especially organized to uphold the spirit of brotherhood, love and, sharing among our students. Children came to school with zeal to celebrate this day in their pretty colorful Eid costumes. The children brought homemade healthy food from home to share with their classmates. Sharing food helps students to learn about compromising, taking turns and negotiating.

The ambiance of the school made the students ecstatic and delighted as the teachers put up all their effort in decorating their classrooms with colorful buntings, lights and a lot of balloons to add in the beauty, for the students.

Different games were arranged for the students and to give a touch of Eid, small Eid stalls were also arranged in the classrooms with multicolored bangles and Mehndi as well.

The celebration included interesting games, music, and much more. After greeting with teachers and each other the students then happily shared their meal and ate together like a family.

Eid Milan Parties are a way of teaching students that they are not only together just for the sake of learning but also stands together like a family and to teach them the basic lesson Eid-ul-Fitr teaches us that we as Muslims should always be grateful for what we have and to share it with those who may have less to eat.

We are all familiar with how much our surrounding is getting contaminated and is already at the apex of losing its balance because of so-called renovation and development. The rising use of resources and ever-increasing demand for diverse modern things are imposing damage on our planet. This up and coming lifestyle of people today is demanding more and more disposable products, contributing to a large amount of garbage produced on a daily basis. One of the major evil-doers of this is plastic, which is responsible for the intensifying levels of land pollution in our environment.

To save the earth from this wreck, and to save it from getting destroyed, Earth Day is celebrated every once a year on April 22, to express support for environmental protection. Each year more than one a billion people commemorate Earth Day to shield our planet from pollution and deforestation.

Earth Day motivates us to show concern and responsibility towards our beloved planet. The Early Years students of BSS Steel Town arranged a campaign of “say NO to Plastic” by reusing the plastic from our surroundings instead of throwing it, and also made sure to try and say no to plastic in future. For this campaign the students reused and recycled the plastic water bottles which are excessively being used in our homes, to make a beautiful hanging garden in the school, which resulted in not just saving the earth from the land pollution caused by plastic but also condemn deforestation as well.

Early year students performed the plantation activities in school. For the activity of making a hanging garden, the students brought different plastic water bottles from their home to convert them in to something useful instead of throwing them away.

The first activity was performed by the students of Kindergarten class. The students brought a full size plastic water bottle and one plant each from their home. After that they cut the bottles into half and colored them using various colors. Later they put soil inside the bottles and planted the different plants in them using gardening tools and watered the plants and then hung them by the wall using threads. The students successfully made a beautiful hanging garden on one of the school’s walls.

The second activity was performed by the students of Pre-Nursery class. They also recycled and reused the plastic water bottles. For this activity they also used the full size plastic water bottles. After that they colored the bottles and put soil in those bottles using gardening tools and planted different plants. These bottles pots were also hanged on one of the wall in an attractive manner.

Class one students reused the bottles to make bird feeders and hanged them on the trees with the help of support staff.

The entire purpose of this campaign was to make students realize how much plastic is being used by us in daily life and how it’s damaging the environment. The students were taught that it’s high time now to say no to plastic and not to throw those plastic products which are already present in our environment, but reuse them in something productive.

“A good word is a charitable act….” (Bukhari and Muslim).
Ramadan brings countless blessings for all the Muslims and it is the perfect timing to develop a habit of doing good deeds. Students of class 1 shared their Good Deeds of each day of Ramadan from 1st roza. They put their good deeds in the envelop according to the Ramadan Calendar.

Some to the good deed they did …Sent iftar to their neighbours, helped needy people, distributed food etc.

Some of the good deeds we can do:
Thank Allah for all the blessing
Send iftar to neighbors.
Share some food with your neighbors.
Distribute water bottles to the homeless
Smile at everyone!
Say good words
be extra nice to parents, friends, and siblings
Pick up litter in your surroundings
Teach someone something you know
Donate Food
Make a prayer for someone who is sick
Quit a bad habit.
Set up a charity jar/box and distribute its contents
Help your parents around the house.

Debating helps students to develop conceptualizing skills that can be practiced in daily life. It builds the sense of articulation in students so that they can get come to grips with sharp and well-planned argument and helps them to see the power of deploying rational and reasoned arguments sagaciously.

It enables them to elucidate their vantagepoint through utilizing rhetorical eloquence. It also teaches them the skills of researching, organizing, and presenting information in a compelling fashion.

Beaconhouse Steel Town Campus organised the English Debate Competition on 12^th April, 2022 for the students of classes IV and V. They presented their points of views strongly in favour and against of the given topics. The audience was very supportive and appreciated the participants with good rounds of applauds throughout the competition.

In the end, the Headmistress Mrs. Nusrat Jokhio announced the results and appreciated the efforts of students and teachers and the parents for taking time out and joining the event for motivational and encouraging approach.

Every spring life begins again. Flowers, trees, animals, and insects start the life cycle process. Butterflies are one of the most beautiful and colorful creatures found in nature. Based on the theme “Life Cycle of a Butterfly”, Pre-Nursery students read about seeds, flowers, caterpillars and butterflies to build knowledge about life cycle of a butterfly.

Students were introduced Carle’s classic tale of a voracious caterpillar who eats his way through the days of the week and then changes into a beautiful butterfly.  Children’s listening skills were developed as they were asked to respond with questions about the story. The children were all fascinated to read that a caterpillar turns into a cocoon and then hatches as a butterfly.

Culmination day was planned after completing the theme. Mothers were also invited. Students presented the story in form of a role-play which developed their creative and imaginative skills. They were dressed up in story characters and played their role to represent the story. Students performed on two different songs related to the theme to develop collaborative learning.

Different stations were setup for students where they worked with their mothers to complete the activities.

Station Activities:

 Caterpillar Art

Butterfly Booklet

What does ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’ eat?

 Making caps

Students really enjoyed the day and got chance to engage in different activities with their mother. Mothers also got opportunity to become part of their children’s learning.

Life is a precious and valuable gift of Almighty Allah (SWT). It is given only once and is to be spent wisely. The quality of life depends on how we spend it. Living our life the right way increases its span and makes it worth living. Making healthy choices takes us closer to a healthy life. When making the right choices, choosing organic food intake tops the to-do list.

 Food that comprises loads of greens, Nuts and fruits to kill midnight and untimely cravings as snacks are the best choices. However, that doesn’t mean giving up on our favorite food entirely. We can have occasional breaks on weekends to satisfy our desires, but that must not become part of our regular meals.

Eating healthy makes us stay active and helps us stay focused during our day-to-day chores. We need to think about ways to avoid junk food. Here are some tips:

•  Plan a list of Yes and No Snacks. When shopping, try to avoid junk food and choose fresh salads instead.

•  Incorporate nuts and beans in your meals to stay whole.

•  Try to take homemade lunch to work or school.

•  Have food on time to avoid untimely hunger pangs.

 It is not too late to change our unhealthy eating food habits. We can still make our diet balanced by including nutrients in our daily life.

Apart from choosing the right kind of food, the next most important aspect of a healthy lifestyle is staying physically fit and active. No one likes to look chubby with a bulging belly. We can stay in shape and look attractive by devoting at least an hour daily to physical activity.

 Let’s promise ourselves to take utmost care of this beautiful and precious life by making the right choices about our food and lifestyle. After all, everyone has the right to live their life to its best extent!

STEAM is an approach to learning and development that integrates the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics. It is an interdisciplinary approach that helps students succeed in college and in their future careers.

Mini Science Centre models give students a hands-on learning experience with science and math subjects that are taught in the classroom. Students retain the concepts they learn in the classroom through the Mini Science Centre exhibits. 

In Beaconhouse, students of the middle section have worked together in teams in creating a steam project prototype which is a Balloon powered car. 

The main objective was to analyze air pressure and its impact on speed, distance and power by making and testing the STEAM prototype.

Students have been showing dedication in the STEAM subject and have developed and tested the prototypes and are encouraged to enhance their learning further in Electronics, Coding and Lego Kits as well. 

Beaconhouse School, Middle Section, PECHS Campus, conducted an online Math Competition “Mathemagicia 2022” on Tuesday, September 13^th. The Orchid School, Karachi Public School, New Generation’s School System, and Leadership School participated in the exciting event.

 Middle Section students from all four schools enthusiastically participated and showed their mathematical prowess. The three-round exclusive competition was thoroughly enjoyed by all four competing teams.

 The winning team of the competition was Leadership School whereas; Beaconhouse PECHS Campus was the runner-up.

Through this competition, students got a chance to further enhance their intellectual and logical reasoning skills.

Good health is something we cannot buy. Nobody can undermine the significance of physical and mental health as this is the first and foremost requirement not only to survive in this world but to progress and avail of opportunities that lie around us.

Students of Grade VIII presented rare diseases that rarely people know about. Some of these diseases are Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. It is a rare disease or disorienting neurological condition that affects human perception of the senses of vision, hearing, touch, sensation, and the phenomenon of time.

Second, Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome is an extremely rare condition wherein a person goes through a rapid appearance of aging beginning in childhood.

Third, Stoneman Syndrome is a rare condition wherein the body’s connective tissues slowly turn into bones.

The purpose of sharing this unique information was to create awareness. People who suffer are also people like us, who battle every day mentally, socially, and among their families. We should show sympathy and be kind to those who struggle to lead a normal life.

Our beloved country Pakistan has recently fallen victim to a series of disastrous floods, which ruined entire rural towns and villages. Since the Government had not taken any pre-flooding measures, all help was given after the damage occurred. Some lucky people were rescued, while others had their access to land completely cut off.

In this situation of disaster, the brotherhood and fellowship of the Pakistanis was tested as there were many appeals for flood donations, either in the form of clothes and dry goods or as financial help. Many NGOs stepped forward to help the flood affectees, while a few wealthy people provided help on their own. These NGOs helped set up meal stands, rescue camps, temporary houses, as well as small farms for the jobless people. In this scenario, the whole country pitched in to provide aid to the needy and helpless. The Government of Pakistan also set up a fund, asking for donations, and people whole-heartedly appreciated them for their sincerity towards the country.

These moments of distress reflect on how we have been raised, and what we have been taught. Thankfully, all Pakistanis supported their brothers who were victims of the terrible floods. This shows, how strong we are as a country.

As part of a Healthy Life Style inculcation, students of Middle Section, PECHS Campus, visited an organic farm. Students were educated about the significance and impact of plantation; such as multiplication of various species of birds, less pollution, and more rain. They were briefed about the role of living species in the world and how one species depends on the other for existence. The purpose of the visit was to create awareness about impact of greenery and growing of one’s own food: vegetables and fruits. The food at the farm is grown on land, containers, wooden crates and raised beds to make best possible use of limited resources and ensure sustainable environmental friendly procedures of food growth. Students planted gourd seeds in pots and were given the same as souvenirs to take home. They were educated about the depth of soil to sow the seed, frequency of watering their pots and what to look for as signs of good growth. This visit was part of a healthy lifestyle awareness program and as the way forward, learning would be cascaded to the whole school community through green drives and other awareness programs.

PECHS Campus is Celebrating International Womens’ Day today.

My culture is my identity and personality. It gives me spiritual, intellectual and emotional distinction from others, and I am proud of it.”

Traditional sports and games are a means to convey values of solidarity, diversity, fair-play, inclusion, and cultural awareness. They also contribute to logical thinking, mathematical and civic education. Moreover, traditional sports and games reflect cultural diversity, and foster mutual understanding and tolerance among communities and nations. However, many traditional games have disappeared and those that survive face imminent disappearance. Globalization, migration, demographic and societal changes are some of the factors contributing to this trend.
On Tuesday 17th March, 22 we tried to revive these games in Beaconhouse School System Jamrud Campus Primary Section.
All the students enthusiastically participated and showed great interest.

A role play was performed by our little angels on a classic fairytale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” during Morning Assembly Presentation.

The learning Outcome was
” To Speak and Present Confidently in Front of the Audience”.

Are you looking for a fun way to cover the human digestive system in your classroom?

Try this Fun hands-on activity for kids of grade 4.

Attainment Target: Describe the human digestive system including the functions of the organs involved (limited to mouth, oesophagus, stomach).

This Attainment target was achieved through an activity. Students learned the pathway of food as it travels through different organs of the body and gets broken down for nutrients and energy.

Materials: 

You will need …
● banana
● two crackers
● plastic bowl
● fork
● water (50 ml)
● Ziplock bag
● orange juice (20 ml)
● one leg cut from a pair of tights
● Gloves
● paper towel

Students were able to see how food turns into a soup-like liquid in the stomach (the ziplock bag) which then passes into the intestines (the tights). Within the small intestine nutrients and water pass through the wall.The liquid that ends up in the plastic bowl should be milky, which shows how the useful chemicals the body needs have passed through the wall. The large chemicals, such as fibre stay inside the intestine and are eventually passed out when we go to the toilet.

Our little Champions made us proud.  

The primary beaconites participated in the International Kangaroo Linguistics Competition, HRCA (Mathematical Quiz Competition) Bebras (International student Computational Thinking Challenge).

Honesty is the best Policy.

The morning assembly was conducted by the students of Primary Section. It was based on the moral of Honesty is the best Policy.

The story revolves around a Wise and Intelligent King who was getting old and wanted to appoint a new successor for his throne. He came up with an idea and decided to distribute seeds among some Noble Villagers. King asked them to plant it, take care of it and come back after an year.

Everyone left the Palace with a seed. They excitedly planted their seed and waited for it to grow. As the months passed by the youth of the country was talking about how their plant has grown tremendously beautiful. Among all the youth, there was a young man whose seed hadn’t even sprouted. Although, he used to water the seed every day and did everything to make it grow, the seed would grow. He could hear people talking about their plants. But still, he has nothing.

After an year the Noble villagers were summoned to the palace where they had to display the outcome of their seeds. Except one all the other villagers were having beautifully grown plants.

King started to examine the seeds and went back to his throne. The king said “One year ago, I gave everyone a seed. I instructed you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back. What you were unaware of, was that every seed I handed out had been boiled beforehand so that none of them were fit to grow! All of you after a year have brought me trees, plants and flowers, born of your dishonesty. The seeds which grew these plants were not the ones I provided you. Therefore, look upon the only honest one among you, this young man, and know now why he deserves to be your ruler.”

Stress wreaks havoc on our emotional equilibrium, as well as our physical health, however, effective stress management helps us break the hold stress has on our life.

In this regard, students of Beaconhouse North Nazimabad Campus organized an Expert talk with Dr. Maryam Ali, Consultant Dermatologist Medical Compliance Advisor 3D Lifestyle South, on ‘Managing Stress in the 21st Century’.

It was an interactive session where the guest speaker shared her personal experiences and expertise to help the young minds in banishing stress. The students participated in stress managing activities, raised questions and shared various perspectives on this social dilemma. In addition, it further helped students to gain deeper insights on identifying different stressors and coping strategies to overcome this issue.

Grade VIII students of Beaconhouse North Nazimabad Middle Campus paid tribute to Allama Iqbal ‘Poet of the East’. Without a shadow of a doubt, this was an exceedingly reminiscent day celebrated with elation and with a feeling of immense pride.

To give an outlandish example of such a presentation, students of class 8 put in their efforts with all their hearts and souls to pull off this display of creativity and elegance.

Students highlighted the essence of the day through a short role play and a tableau which aimed to implement a sense of realization in the youth and make them learn the importance of dedication, diligence and resilience.
