News & Events Assembly Presentations
One of the most important aspect of students’ learning is not only to become confident speakers/presenters but also to develop good listening skills. The objective is best achieved during assembly presentations, which are based on role plays from curriculum or topics related to environmental awareness and moral values. Not only teachers but parents are also present during presentations to ensure their support and encouragement to the young presenters.
Eid Milan
Parties are one way to have fun together and when it comes to Eid Milan Party then the added spark of bangles, sandals, mehndi and fancy dresses make it a treat to watch also. In Eid Milan party, students brought eatables from home and shared with their class mates to enforce the main gist of Ramadan which is patience and sharing.

The First Word Dear Parents, Congratulations on the successful completion of first term! An eventful term indeed which has also experienced few changes in the administration of the branch as I have taken charge in place of Ms. Lubna Mohsin. One of the most senior teachers of the branch, Ms. Uzma Aslam has been promoted as School Coordinator. I would like to thank you all for your continuous cooperation over the period and look forward to the same team work for the achievement of one common goal i.e to make our children good and educated human beings. It is a pleasure to see how smartly kindergarten students have taken on their roles and responsibilities as primary students. They have participated well in different co-curricular and extra- curricular activities in school which were planned to make children independent learners and boost up their confidence. Some of the activities which were planned during the term are being shared with you in this newsletter and a lot more are yet to come in the next term. Let us continue to work together and hope that our children discover new horizons of learning and make us proud of their achievements! Wish you all a safe and prosperous year ahead! Warm Regards,
Sana Zaidi

Role plays on different fairy tales and character riddles were thoroughly enjoyed by all. Classroom libraries also proved helpful for students who have less interest in reading. “Books are the quietest and most constant of friends, they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors and the most patient of teachers.� Charles William Eliot 6
