PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Dear Families, I extend my warmest wishes to you all for the New Year and hope that the session ahead brings forth moments of pride and success for all of us. CSGC is a caring community for learners that fosters pride in each student’s abilities by promoting the student’s social development. I understand that there can be no learning unless safe and supportive envi- ronment is provided to the students and hence we use Responsive Classroom Approach to teach our students. This enables them to act responsibly and treat each other with respect. Our students know we do not tolerate bullying at any level or in any form on the campus. We firmly abide by our Child Protection Policy to ensure our students’ emotional well-being eventually inculcating positive traits in our students. Our teachers are equipped with the latest academic procedures and teaching methodologies. We strive hard to instill a love for learning in our students which they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. CSGC is committed to meet the individual needs of all the students and to motivate them to excel. Our results in CIE and BISE speak volumes about our excellent academics. We are resolved to remain consistent on this. Promoting literacy is our primary goal, but not the only goal. We endeavor to drive our students to think creatively and critically, to look beyond problems and be innovative problem solvers. This ensures our students steadily build capacity to be successful in their pursuit of higher studies. CSGC works very hard every year to run programs and organize events that are known to help students develop an appreciation for Arts, Music, Physical well-being, Science and Sports. For example we have orga- nized programs that inspire our students to explore the frontiers of science with annual Scifest organized by the Senior Section. Early Years organized Sportica to encourage healthy physical activity in its students. This year we have planned annual talent shows at all levels which will instill confidence and develop both natural and learnt talents of our students. We have complimented these programs and events through Clubs and House System at all levels from class one onwards which polishes skills of team work, healthy competition and gives our students a progressive direction. First term has been a thriving term as our students participated in variety of competitions and availed learning opportunities. To ensure their physical fitness sports days have been organized. Students also nurtured themselves by being a part of Declama- tions, Role Plays, Poetry Recitals, Poster Making and many more. Senior section will host its mega event VASSL in the second term and I anticipate this will be a great learning opportunity for our students. Over more than forty years we have developed a healthy parent school relationship where we have had parents actively participating in school activities. We believe and practice in keeping our communications open with our students and parents. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to collaboration. Once again I would like to welcome back my dear students and parents and look forward to a great 2018, full of learning opportunities. The administration and faculty will continue to work hard with the students to help them accomplish milestones and achievements. Best Regards Saima Lone 2 1.5 KM Raiwind Road, Nawab Town, Lahore.
