Fall Carnival 2008

08-November-2008

The Fall Carnival was organized by the SLO and held on November 8, 2008; a Saturday evening filled with dancing, people dressed up in costume, delicious food, and great décor. The autumn air was crisp as the music howled, nearly piercing one’s ear. It was impossible to hear one another as the urge to dance overtook all. Soon everyone burst out in movements filled with emotion. With every beat came a new movement, a new feeling. The sight was incredible as the background overflowed with camera flashes and laser effects. When the energy finally dissipated, crowds rushed to the stalls to buy spicy shawarmas, sweet brownies and steaming hotdogs.

A great way to let off some steam before the Term 1 Final exams!

ISC’s First Ever Environmental Awareness Campaign

On Saturday, 11th of October 2008, the students of Choueifat Lahore assembled together to improve the environment by collecting trash. This team of students and faculty literally cleaned up the block outside school with their own plastic glove-adorned hands and a plastic bag to put away the litter. Those included in the trash collecting regime were regular students as well as prefects and even teachers such as Mr. Nasir, Student Life Coordinator Mrs. Geha and Deputy director Ms. Margo. In addition, students distributed flyers to shopkeepers within the vicinity concerning environmental awareness. Overall our campaign proved to be a success.

After the tiring venture of cleaning our corner of Lahore in the scorching heat had ended, the students were rewarded with a treat of food from McDonalds in the school cafeteria. We hope that in the near future our school can continue spreading awareness to the local community through similar programs and hopefully even more students will be willing to help out.

Juniors’ Carnival

31 October 2008

They had been looking forward to it! Their parents had been preparing their costumes for the past few weeks! Finally, on Friday October 31, all the students of the ISC Lahore Infants’ School came with their special costumes in their bags. Spidermen, Supermen, Kings and Queens, mermaids and fairies, ghosts and skeletons; everyone was there! The children had chosen their favorite character and celebrated it by dressing up for the Characters’ Parade and Competition.

With the help of their teachers, the support staff and many Senior School students, the little ones changed into their costumes. Everyone was excited! They wanted to show their costume to their friends and their family, and they had the chance to do so during the parade around the school. The Infants’ School teachers had also put a great deal of time and effort into their dresses. They led the kids to the gym, where all the parents had gathered for the final show. The children went on stage to the sound of party music and posed for a cheering crowd! Four costumes from every section were selected and awarded prizes: the funniest, the scariest, the prettiest and the most original. Mums, who had taken great pains at making their kid’s dress, were really anxious. One could not but admire the care they had taken and the originality of their ideas. At the end, all participants went home with a special goodies bag and happy memories from the function.
