Beaconhouse School System CANAL CAMPUS GIRLS BRANCH FAISALABAD
Head’s Message It has been a fruitful and rewarding first term which started with commendable results and concluded with the achievement of our admission target. We are grateful to everyone who has contributed towards this increase in student numbers and GPA. It is a fact that teachers’ right guidance coupled with students’ perseverance and the confidence of parent body is the perfect combination of such success. In order to give an array of experiences to our students in the school life, this year we initiated four very active clubs in the Middle Section and have received encouraging responses and feedback from our students and parents.
23rd Annual Graduation Ceremony The much awaited event was held on 31st Dec 2016 in Iqbal Auditorium. The honourable Vice Chancellor GCUF, Prof.Dr. Muhammad Ali graced the event as the Chief Guest. Relentless efforts and sheer hard work made it a triumphant and memorable occasion. From GBF, 89 graduates were awarded certificates, 25 highly capable students were awarded gold medals, 10 received silver medals and 6 bagged the bronze medals. Hence, almost half of the competent student body had excelled in one area or the other. The chief guest congratulated the proud parents, applauded the dedicated teachers and encouraged the young learners to do their utmost in whatever field they opt for.
Nov-Dec 2016
A series of Parent Head Conferences were held in Term I, which provided a platform for parents to discuss their child’s progress in detail. I appreciate all those who attended these sessions and am looking forward to see parents in the second phase of these meetings too as parents’ feedback is vital for our progression and in achieving our goal of academic excellence. Wishing you all a Safe, Prosperous and Happy 2017. Regards Samana Imam Headmistress In Charge samana.imam@bh.edu.pk
