Beaconhouse is the first and only school system in Pakistan to be given a brand survey rating of A+ by the Brands Foundation

The Beaconhouse Group is proud to have received the Brands of the Year Award 2010-11 for the Best School System in Pakistan. The award was given away by the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani in a ceremony held at the Governor House, Karachi on 31st July 2011. Syed Ali Tabraiz Bokhari, Marketing Manager Beaconhouse, received this award on behalf of the Beaconhouse Group.

It is a great achievement for the Beaconhouse group to receive the Brand of the Year Award as it is considered to be the highest honour to be bestowed on the corporate and business sections of Pakistan. Out of a total of 1136 brands that were considered for the brand quality survey, 180 were placed in the A & B categories. The Beaconhouse group has received an overall brand quality survey rating of A+, which is a distinction in itself. Moreover, the Beaconhouse group is the first school system in Pakistan to have been given the Brand of the Year Award.

The Brand of the Year is organised by the Brands Foundation, which is a public company monitored by the government of Pakistan. The governing body includes Intellectual Property Organization (IPO-Pakistan), Pakistan Standards Quality Control Authority (PSQCA), the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industries.

As part of the ‘Short Visit Cultural Study Tour Programme` the first group of students from Beaconhouse-Newlands, Lahore have reached the Newlands School in Seaford,

England. The purpose of this programme is to ensure that students experience an altogether different cultural and educational environment and get to exchange their views.

An e-learning project was launched in February 2011 at one of the main campuses of the Beaconhouse School System by Chairperson Beaconhouse Group Mrs. Nasreen Mahmud Kasuri. The e-learning programme is the first of its kind which aims to modernise the conventional teaching methods in the Early Years and for Class VI Mathematics. Interactive whiteboards and N-computing approach are revolutionary for teaching and learning practices. Beaconhouse takes the lead in providing one-to-one computing to the students of Class VI. The ICT suite is equipped with an interactive whiteboard and compact Intel Netbooks for each pupil. Initially, only Mathematics will be taught with ICT integration but with time this technology will be applied to different subjects, marking the beginning of a move towards 21st century schooling.

The artistic creations of Beaconhouse students from Nursery to A Level were on display in one of the largest art fairs of its kind in Pakistan. The exhibition was organised to raise funds for the education of children in the flood-affected areas from 17 to 19 February 2011 at the Alhamra Arts Council in Lahore. At the opening, Beaconhouse Director Nassir Kasuri paid tribute to the organisers of the event and the students for contributing their work to such a worthy cause. He highlighted the importance of art as a form of expression for ideas and emotions, and emphasised the need for the recognition of art as an integral part of our education.

The art fair was enjoyed by all who attended and the talent and hard work of the students was much appreciated by the visitors. The students were also very proud to have their paintings and drawings exhibited at the art fair.

Ibrahim Shahid, one of our very own Beaconhouse students from the Boys’ branch at Margalla Campus, has set a new world record in his Cambridge O Level exams. The 17-year-old sat for an amazing total of 24 subjects and scored 23 A’s and a B.

The son of an electrical engineer and a stay-at-home mother who herself is an IT scientist, Ibrahim credits his success to hard work and the belief that the seemingly impossible can be achieved.  Not only has he made his parents and school very proud, he has raised the profile of education in Pakistan and given other students in the country the motivation to excel.

As yet undecided about what to study at university, Ibrahim is drawn towards physics and economics and says he wants to do ‘something unique’ for his country.
