A word from the Vice Principal

Dear Parents,

On behalf of the staff, I would like to welcome you and your child to our school. Lahore Grammar School , 31 F.C.C, aims to provide learning experiences of the highest quality to help children make progress and enjoy the challenges and opportunities they are provided with. Children have already learnt a great deal by the time they are three years old. They come to us with a wide range of experiences, interests, and skills. They deepen their understanding by playing, observing, planning, talking, questioning, experimenting, testing, repeating, reflecting and responding to each other and the adults around them.

Educators have recognized that students learn differently, respond uniquely to a variety of teaching techniques and have their individual preferences. The unique qualities of each student must be recognized, encouraged and cultivated. The process should be fun, stimulating and enriching and this is what we strive to do at 31 F.C.C.

We hope that we will share a fruitful and pleasant association and that in our care you will see your child blossom and grow, make good friends and participate fully in school life.

As new parents, you may be unfamiliar with the routines, rules and regulations at this school. This Parents’ Handbook aims to provide you with all the necessary information. However, if you would still like further clarification or have some queries of your own, please feel free to call our school office or visit our website.

Stationery:

(Prep - Class 1)

Children are not allowed to bring anything other than a required set of stationery , school books and diaries.

Avoid sending expensive stationery items or toys to school.

Children may bring story books as this would encourage the habit of shared reading.

Birthday celebrations:

For birthday celebrations in school, kindly inform the office a day before the birthday and come before lunch time (coordinate with the class teacher).

We have noticed that when birthdays are celebrated in school, the goody bags contain mostly junk food or expensive items. Instead, sending stationery items, such as pencils, erasers, colouring books or reasonably priced story books, in the goody bags would be a good idea. Infact, we would appreciate if goody bags are avoided.

Cake cutting and singing the birthday song is the best way of celebrating a child’s birthday with his/her class.
