CJM Lahore Begins a New School Year




 
 
 
 
The first day of school and, wouldn't to know it, the rains came with full force.
This video was taken by Sister Farzana, head mistress of the Matric School.
She saw the other video of the monsoon rains that I sent before and wanted you to see her area!
The rain was so heavy in some areas of Lahore today that school was cancelled.
The rain has stopped now but the ground is totally water-logged.
 
 
 
 
This photo, and the four above, give you an idea of the size of the staff and the sea of colour that surprised me as I entered the hall. 
(whisper!) ... I tried to bring the top photos down the page but they refused to budge for me ... am not too skilled yet!
 

Those of us not teaching in the schools were invited to join the staff, after their meeting in Marian Hall, for morning tea yesterday.  I spoke with a number of the teachers ... lovely, open, friendly, Muslims and Christians, all with the one goal: educating strong, highly principled women. 
The staff, including office and support staff, number 152. 
There are few male teachers. 
Between all the schools here, at 4 Durand Road, there are 2,220 students.
 
 

All of these photos were taken in the Junior School. 
The uniform is a white dress with red buttons and belt, white socks and red shoes.
