| SLS Students donate Rs.4 Lac 75 Thousand to Imran Khan Foundation |
| |
| SLS not only recognizes the great responsibility it has to its parents and students but the School also reaches out to the greater community. A recent contribution made by the students & teachers of SLS was a donation of Rs. 4 lac 75 thousand in the Imran Khan’s Foundation for the victims of the flood that occurred on August, 2010. The most appreciable part of this noble effort was that this sum was generated in the school by the students by playing various sports competitions, and selling various hand made things. Another similar contribution was a donation of Rs.2,44,046 in the President’s Relief Fund for the victims of the deadly earthquake that occurred on October 8th, 2005. Likewise, staff and students of SLS made an all out effort for the rain effected victims of Baluchistan by collecting from the community and donating from their small personal pocket money, a meager amount of Rs.1,37,861. Besides cash, the School also collected a truck load of other items like beddings, blankets, and clothes etc. which were received by the Honorable Prime Minister Mr. Shaukat Aziz. SLS has always been actively participating in every cause & natural disaster whether it was the Tsunami, the earthquake of 2005 or the floods of 2010, and time and again has demonstrated its will and determination to help the less fortunate in every possible way. |

Speaking of debates, SLS Montessori and school recently held a major debate competition in the Lalazar branch and the Islamabad Branch. There were several categories in this bilingual debate competition. A conscious effort was made to choose topics that would interest the students and also help them to express themselves with confidence. The main objective of this debate competition was to give the maximum number of children a chance to express their thoughts and to expose them to public speaking. An attempt was also made to encourage the children to organize their ideas in a logical manner and it was heartening to see that the young orators had done their homework as they gave each other a tough competition.
For the Urdu debate the topic under discussion was Mobile phones: a blessing or a nuisance? (mobile phones :zehmat ya naimat) In today’s mechanized existence one is quite dependant on these mobile phones. For some it has made life very easy and for others it is indeed a menace. Considering the amount of attractive packages that the mobile companies have made for the youth surprisingly the decision went in favour of the topic. Daniyal Shehzad of grade 8th successfully managed to sway the final verdict of the audience and judges in his favour that indeed mobile phones are a nuisance. Rameen Sadaqat, who was also from 8th grade came second while Naeema Anwar of grade 7 took the 3rd position. Mr. Talib Bokhari who was the chief guest generously appreciated all the young orators and was gracious enough to express his personal opinion regarding the topic. Wit and humour were also at play at the SLS Islamabad branch. In the Urdu debate category there were topics like “Uff yeh subah ka jagna”, Aala zindagi ka mayaar ilm nahi daulat hai” and “umar e hazir ki nijaat science ya mazhab”and “daur e jaded daur e zawal hai”. Hamna Imran, Abdullah Tahir, Amina Akmal, (grade 2 and 3), Maryam Naveed grade 4, Arshwa Haleem Grade 5, Ghania Zakir, Binte Zahra, Arsal Rehman, Maira Tayyab, (grade 6 and 7) Javeria Tayyeb. Qudsia Fatima, Ayesha Tariq and Nafil Amir (grade 8 to 10) were among the prominent speakers. One must acknowledge the awareness and maturity of our upcoming generation. The display of strong conviction in their words and sincerity in their eyes indeed lights a ray of hope and promise for the future of our country.
As for the English debate the topic was: Should homework be banned? One could notice the excitement which the topic had generated among the audience as they eagerly awaited for the participants to share their point of view. With a majority of students in the audience the participants who chose to defend the topic were generously applauded, however, the speakers who spoke against the motion put up a brave fight and finally managed to convince everyone that homework is mandatory. Once again Naeema Anwar of grade 8 won the approval of the judges that a balanced approach towards homework is necessary to polish and develop the learning ability of a student. Arsalan Kirmani of grade 8th, Afshan Anwar and Rimsha Jehangir were undoubtedly amongst outstanding speakers. The Islamabad branch were equally good as they chose topics like “As the last bell goes”, ”The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world” and “Today my country is truly Jinnah’s Pakistan”. All the participants were credibly eloquent in their speech and kept the audience spell bound by their views. Among the prominent speakers were Haya Khan Class I, Abdullah Naveed class III, Hanya Tayyab class III, Verda Amir class 6th, Haifa class5, Haris Ehsan class 4, Maham Waqar, Ibrahim Zaman and Haniya Zia. Thus another successful and memorable debate competition came to an end with the distribution of certificates and trophies. |

| SLS Students in a Global School partnership programme with British Council |
| |
|
|
Students of SLS Montessori & School are engaged in Global Curriculum Project (GCP) which is based on global issues, curriculum & culture under Department of Global School Partnerships (DGSP) British Council.
The theme of the GCP is ‘Linking for Learning’ done with the schools in UK, that is, schools in two countries are linked with one another to share information about their culture, education, social surroundings etc. and exchange views about different global issues. These projects prove highly beneficial and informative for the students since they help them to gain an international perceptive on issues and improve communication skills.
In addition to this, the Principals and teachers of both the reciprocating countries have had the opportunity to visit their host countries for the purpose of ‘Linking for Learning’. |
