Celebrating Independence at Pakistan School Bahrain
On this magnificent and splendid day of Indep e n d e n c e, Pa k i s t a n School wishes all fellow compatriots in Bahrain a happy Independence Day. Let's refresh and remember the unprecedented and great sacrifices of the martyrs who laid down their lives for a free and sovereign Pakistan. We are pleased to share a brief overview of Pakistan School, Bahrain, on this joyous occasion. The baseline of Pakistan School goes back to the later part of 1960s when the leading visionary members of the community realized the need for a schooling system for their children, leading to the establishment of a small primary school in 1968 in a rented building in Fareej Fadhel area of Manama. After a few years the school was upgraded to secondary level education following affiliation with the Federal Board, Islamabad, Pakistan. In 1984, the new campus of the Pakistan School was constructed in Isa town, which was inaugurated by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Premier. Two new blocks, Jinnah Block and Sir Sayed Block were constructed in Isa Town Campus, between 1994-95. Today Pakistan school has two wings, Manama (Primary) and the main campus Isa Town. Pakistan School's Federal Board results have shown consistent and impressive improvement over the last few years. Around 1144 students have achieved A and A+ Grades in the Federal Board, Islamabad examinations.

‘Speak freely – mistakes and all – to build English confidence'
PUTRAJAYA: Students must have an environment that encourages them to speak English if they are to improve their language skills. That is the first step that Ebright Public Speaking Academy managing director Kevin Khoo Kuan Xiong ( pic ) believes Malaysians must take. 'If they have the right environment, they will speak without fear,' he said when met at the Star Education Fair 2025 at the IOI Grand Exhibition and Convention Centre here yesterday. He said that environmental factors like discouragement from peers are among the reasons why students are reluctant to speak the language. 'Whenever they try to use English, they are condemned or sarcastically mocked. 'That's why we have to get rid of this mentality in the first place,' he said. He stressed the importance of encouragement in helping students overcome their fear of speaking English. 'When we encourage students to speak, we shouldn't nitpick every single word they use. 'Let them speak naturally, and then we can try to fine-tune their grammar. Doing so will improve their self-confidence,' he said. Khoo also advised parents to give their children a platform to shine. 'That means enrolling them in courses, classes or platforms where they have the opportunity to speak in public. 'That will train and boost their confidence in using the language,' he said. Ebright students Dhiya Humaira and Seshasri Rajan, both 12, agreed that having a platform to practise the language is essential. Dhiya said it helps to speak more and read storybooks. 'Other than that, you can ask your friends for help. 'Try communicating with them in English, and read signboards or anything written in English,' she said. Seshasri also recommended joining English courses and competitions such as Scrabble and public speaking. 'I've joined many competitions. I've also learnt from online resources and my mum. My English teacher, especially, helps me improve my English,' she said. The duo, along with team member Sathes Rajan, 13, also an Ebright student, are winners of the World Scholar's Cup Kuala Lumpur round recently. They will be heading to the global round in Bangkok, Thailand, next month.
