School education for 750 under-privileged children

We are delighted to share with you the progress and accomplishments achieved by our school during the last few months of 2023. Your generous support has played a vital role in nurturing the bright minds of tomorrow and promoting a culture of excellence, patriotism, and leadership within our student community. Below is a detailed overview of the activities and events that took place during this period.

• New Session 

The new session (2023-24) commenced on 1st August 2023, welcoming students with great excitement and anticipation. It marked the beginning of another year dedicated to academic growth and character development.

• Independence Day Celebration

One of the notable events during August was the celebration of Flag Day and Independence Day. Our students showcased their patriotic fervour through various activities, including assembly presentations, patriotic songs and poems, speeches, and drawing activities. The enthusiasm and dedication displayed by the students were genuinely inspiring.

• Defence Day Celebration

On 6 September 2023, we celebrated Pakistan's Defence Day, commemorating the bravery and sacrifices of Pakistani soldiers who defended our beloved country. Our students actively engaged in activities such as parades, flag hosting, speeches, and arts and crafts, exhibiting their deep sense of patriotism.

• Annual Prize Distribution Ceremony

Another significant event was the Annual Prize Distribution Ceremony. This ceremony allowed us to recognise and appreciate our students' achievements and teachers' unwavering dedication.

• Students Council Members Oath Taking and Leadership Badge Ceremony

We focus on fostering leadership qualities among our students. The Students Council Members Oath Taking and Leadership Badge Ceremony was organised in this regard. This critical activity aimed to inspire our students to be good role models and create a healthy environment within the school. The ceremony guided the elected leaders about their duties, reinforcing their commitment to serving their school community.

Farm to School Initiative

Agriculture impacts society in many ways, including supporting livelihoods through food, habitat and jobs. Agriculture is considered the backbone of Pakistan's economy, which relies heavily on its major crops and ranks 8th globally in farm output, according to the List of countries by GDP sector composition. 

When you live in such a country, it becomes even more essential for the children to have food system knowledge, such as gardening, seasonality and what foods are local. Implementing eco-friendly activities in the school can be done in a variety of different ways. We took the Farm-to-school initiative to foster healthy activities and make vital ties between nature and the children.

At Al-Mustafa Academy, we introduced the "MODEL CLASSROOM FOR AGRICULTURE PROGRAM"  for our children. This classroom gives our children to learn and experience agriculture and farming practices. We organised training workshops in school by farming experts in which the students were given theoretical explanations and practical implantation. Apart from increasing their food system knowledge, this program benefits the children in many other ways. It encourages fruit and vegetable consumption in children and increases physical activity. The children tend to make healthier food choices at school and home. It also improves the willingness of children to try new foods. 

Leadership Badge Ceremony

Effective leadership is important because it inspires students to be good role models and fosters a healthy school environment and leadership qualities in students. Badges of the Monitors, Prefects, Head Girls & Boys and House Leaders are changed every six months.

Oath Taking Ceremony

The newly selected Monitors, Prefects, Head Girls & Boys, Deputy Head Girls & Boys & House Leaders swore to honestly perform their duties.
