PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE. DEAR PARENTS, We welcome the New Year that has begun with a new vigour. We should be united to create a healthier and safer world. We need to learn the right things and feel good about ourselves. We, the Pakistanis, must focus on.

Spreading happiness all around.

Inculculating peaceful thinking in a world which is victimized by high inflation rate and innumerable social evils.

Becoming more tolerant and understanding.

Turning into better a individual which is no less than paramount to all of us.

Supporting our own youth so that they do not desire to move to foreign lands and instead help us save our image that is tarnished Looking at our own mistakes and defeats from a positive perspective. This can help give direction our of crises and conflicts e.g. after floods or natural calamities we feel blessed.

If Government is not providing solace to people, let us try to make the state more vibrant and active.

Value our youth, since all students are unique and valuable, be they academically gifted or not, poor or rich, handicapped or able-bodied, girls or boys.

Let us be proud of ourselves-our wheatish complexions and not envy the fair skins.

Mrs.Nasim Dogar Principal

ACMUN Eight of our AS students, took part in the Aitcheson College Model United Nations (ACMUN) on 5th-7th November. The students were representatives of Ghana, Vietnam and Hungary.

After taking part in a number of discussion sessions focusing on global humanitarian issues, countries had to draft resolutions which could be passed with a majority vote. The whole event was an excellent learning experience for our young debaters.

Headmaster’s Message.

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know, they shall never sit under.

Eat well, and sleep sound, in these two good health abounds.
