The ceremony brought together parents, students, and distinguished guests in an atmosphere of pride and celebration, reaffirming the school’s commitment to academic excellence and personal growth.
The programme commenced with a soulful recitation from the Holy Quran, followed by a stirring rendition of the School Anthem.
The Guests of Honour were three distinguished alumnae of our school: Dr. Summaya Saeed, Naushaba Kazi, and Sarwat Gillani. Their presence was a proud reminder of the lasting impact of their school years on their professional journeys.

Their journeys across medicine, the judiciary, and the performing arts reflect the enduring influence of the values, confidence, and aspirations nurtured at our school. Their achievements offered students inspiring examples of how school foundations can shape lives of purpose, distinction, and service.

These achievements reflected the students’ perseverance and the school’s commitment to recognising merit and supporting educational aspirations.
The award ceremony recognised outstanding performers across Years 8, 9, and 10, including students who secured provincial and national positions and distinctions in subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Urdu, Pakistan Studies, Business Studies, and Principles of Accounting.
