The largest integrated steel-making plant in Bangladesh with a 1.4 MTPA capacity amazed the Teachers & Students of Sunshine Grammar School. Padding of the red-hot billets, each 12m long, in motion along with the movement of the Sunshiners was mind-blowing. Despite walking at a moderate and safe distance from the billet, everybody felt the tremendous heat radiated by the industrial process. Experiencing a walk just above the red hot billets was exciting for all of us.
The wonderful story of creating steel rods on an automated machine was simply incredible. In the quality control lab, a demonstration was shown of how the tension of a steel rod was tested to check if it was meeting the highest quality standards. Elastic limit and famous Hooke’s law attracted their attention towards Physics.
Many thanks to Mr. Abu Syed Chowdhury, Deputy Managing Director of Abul Khair Group, for inviting the Sunshiners to a day long trip and unending hospitality. Thank You.
An imperative point to note was their hospitality. From their engineers to their blue-collar staff, all of them received us with a warm welcome. We were served snacks, a hearty lunch, and again provided with a tiffin alongside a gift pack at the time of departure. After lunch, we restarted the study tour, and the organizers took us to show us their Oxygen Plant. At the site, I came to know from AKS officials that this is particular project was set up by internationally renowned German experts, and the free oxygen provided by them to hospitals saved innumerable lives during the turbulent phase of Covid-19.
From there, we went to visit their water reservoir which has been constructed by closing one side of the hilly area thereby creating a fantastic landscape that included a point on a hilltop from where the faraway sea could be seen. To conclude the study tour, we were taken to a beautiful garden of the AKS steel factory where students and teachers took photographs in the picturesque environment.
Sunshiners were well-disciplined throughout the trip, and their keen interest alongside the excellent organization by AKS management made it a memorable event for all.

Profession Day
By Mrs. Dominica C Rodriguez, Head of Junior Section, Sunshine Grammar SchoolEven the youngest learners are posed with one of life’s biggest questions, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Thinking that far ahead into the future can be overwhelming, but career awareness activities, like Profession Day, help students figure out and pave their pathway to adulthood.
Profession Day gives students an up-close look at different career paths and connects their learning to the real world. Community members and leaders come into the classroom to share insights about their careers and details about necessary education and training for career success. Meanwhile, students get the opportunity to listen to presenters, ask questions, and consider what careers pique their interest.
Professionals from different walks of life were invited to share their experiences to motivate students to build up their careers.
A list of invitees who enthusiastically shared their positive experiences with students includes Dr. Sadia Ahmed (Emergency Medical Officer, Chattogram General Hospital), Ms. Eleanor Linda Grant (Sub-Inspector, Chattogram Metropolitan Police) Captain Shimul Dutta (Nautical Engineer at PetroSaudi Oil Service, USA), Dr. AQM Mohiuddin Masum (Lecturer of Oral Microbiology at Chattogram Medical College), internationally acclaimed photographer Sunshine Alumni Dr. Ata Mohammad Adnan, Advocate Nafisa Khanam Nitu and Chef Anisur Rahman Munir.
