Award for popular postmaster who's been serving community in Livingston for 30 years
Iqbal Mohammed has run shops in the area since 1975 and took on the Post Office with his wife Zahida A popular postmaster who has been running shops in West Lothian for the last 50 years has received a special award for his service at the heart of the community. Iqbal Mohammed has been running Livingston Village Post Office for 30 years and to mark the milestone he was presented with a Long Service Award by Post Office Area Manager Brian McNaughton. Iqbal has run shops in the Livingston area since 1975 and the opportunity arose in 1995 to take on Livingston Village Post Office with his wife Zahida. The couple are very well known in the area. They modernised the newsagents and convenience store and Zahida worked on the retail side for most of that time, until she sadly she passed away in October. At first their eldest daughter Shazia worked in the family business and their younger daughter, Nadia, is also Post Office trained. They also employ local people. Iqbal will forever be grateful to former neighbours, John and Ella Gilbert who helped them greatly when they started. John had just retired as a long-serving postmaster in Armadale and really helped them to settle quickly into the role of running a Post Office with all of the required knowledge of products and services. Postmaster Iqbal Mohammed said: 'The best thing about being a postmaster is that I enjoy meeting people and everyone knows me. They cared when my wife died as Zahida had been a big part of this shop and we loved helping the community. 'We got to know people really well and we have enjoyed conversations and a laugh with customers. My wife would often give sweets to little kids coming into the shop. 'We managed to keep the Post Office and shop open throughout the pandemic, even though Zahida had underlying health conditions, as we wanted to maintain vital services to our village.' Post Office Area Manager, Brian McNaughton, said: 'I want to really thank Iqbal for being the postmaster for Livingston Village for the past three decades. He and his late wife, Zahida, who was also a lovely person, have been at the heart of this community and have enriched the lives of people living in the village for a long time as well as new people who have moved to the community with the extra housing built.'

Chatsworth International School Celebrates 30 Years of Excellence
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 25 February 2025 - Chatsworth International School, a leading international school in Singapore, is proud to celebrate its 30th anniversary this year. Since its founding, Chatsworth International School has been dedicated to providing a holistic and enriching education. This commitment to excellence has been recognised through numerous accolades, including: Best IB School by WhichSchoolAdvisor (Singapore) in both 2022 and 2024 Gold for the prestigious Curriculum Awards (IB) at the Singapore Education Awards in 2023 and 2024 Gold for the School Where Everybody Knows Your Name at the Singapore Education Awards for three consecutive years (2021 - 2024) To celebrate this milestone, Chatsworth has hosted a gala dinner on 21 February. This special event brought together staff, parents, and guests to commemorate three decades of growth and achievement. The evening featured a Long Service Award presentation to honour dedicated staff members who have contributed significantly to Chatsworth's success. Further highlighting its close-knit community, the gala dinner included performances by talented students and a parent. Adding to the significance of the occasion, the event was graced by Ms. Sim Ann, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Ministry of National Development, to honour the school's achievements and contributions to education in Singapore. A Holistic Approach to Education These awards underscore Chatsworth's unique approach to education, which combines academic rigour with a well-rounded approach, empowering students to think critically, solve problems, and embrace global citizenship. Through community engagement initiatives and experiential learning opportunities, Chatsworth fosters a learning environment where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. Central to this success are Chatsworth's exceptional teachers. Representing over 20 nationalities, their educators bring a wealth of experience and a deep passion for nurturing a love of learning in every student. Small class sizes and a low student-teacher ratio ensure that each child receives personalised attention and support. 'Each morning, the kids are warmly welcomed and all the teachers take genuine interest in how the kids are going. These small things can have a huge impact on a child's sense of belonging and security in an institution. All the staff at this international school in Singapore have genuine care for how the children are performing, but more importantly, how they're developing as good, thoughtful people.' – Rachel Fergus, parent of two Chatsworth students. Looking Ahead: A Continued Commitment to Excellence As Chatsworth embarks on its next chapter, the IB school remains dedicated to its mission of inspiring, educating, and enlightening students to become responsible and engaged members of the global community, while continuing to celebrate every individual's unique talents and passions.
