Dear Parent, I am so excited and jubilant to start by sharing the news of achieving an outstanding result for our students . both in CAIE and Matric 2020 session. Congratulation to all of us!

Well, who would have thought that, in its demise, 2019 would leave us this legacy of COVID-19… a virus that would force the entire world into a lockdown that has lasted for almost an entire year! And what a year it has been. News of infections, statistics dealing with the constant and consistent rise in number of cases. And yet, despite the emotional toll that it took on us, we at Jauhar Campus had one constant source of support: YOU, the parents. No matter how many problems you dealt with on your own, you ensured that you were there with the students and teachers at Jauhar Campus every step of the way. From ensuring that you woke up your kids in time for class every day to ascertain that they finished their tasks on time… you helped achieve it all. .

If there could be a grade for parents, you may be confident that you would get an A* for sure! .

Thank you for always being there!

Beaconhouse School Jauhar Campus has tried hard to buck up its student body when they were attending classes; online or face-to-face. Also, credit to our extraordinary teachers who were compassionate and . supportive towards students throughout this challenging period.

At this point, it is uncertain that when this pandemic will end but rest assured, we at Jauhar Campus will walk with you at every step of the way.

Best Regards, Dr. Nadia Rashid Inam, Senior Headmistress, Jauhar Campus.

Students were given clear instructions and guidance by the teachers which enabled them to attempt their online assessments comfortably. This ended up being a great learning experience for students and teachers alike.
