Keeping in view the Ashara Ohbat all around the world, at BHS too a grand majlis with the presidency of Janab Amil Saheb was held, where students graciously displayed Noha wa Aweel. Also several theoretical and practical teachings of Noha wa Aweel has made its way into children’s hearts and souls.

The Under 14 and Under 17 Girls teams from Badri High School participated in the 8^TH Interschool Throwball Tournament hosted by The City School PAF Chapter where 72 schools participated.

Despite the frenzy of test week, the girls were excited to be chosen for the final team. The teams left for the City School PAF Chapter and the Under 17 Girls Team played the opening match with CJS. A match comprised of three rounds and each round was of 15 points. BHS lost this match 1-2. The girls used this opportunity to warm up and tried to face their rivals with confidence.

The second match was played between BHS and MSB and BHS lost 0-2. The girls were dejected but learnt the life-long skill of resilience and how important it is to get up after a defeat. The third match of the Under 17 team was with Happy Palace Grammar School which we lost 1-2.

The younger girls of class 6, 7 and 8 who made up the Under 14 team fought fiercely in their match against Aga Khan High School (Garden Campus). It was a nail biting match which was finally won by Happy Palace 1-2.

The students returned exhausted by 1:30 pm to the school premises and then gave their monthly tests. They got valuable exposure to a major interschool tournament which contributed to building confidence as well as teaching them teamwork and sportsmanship. They proved that they were able to juggle multiple tasks and how physical activity is important for girls and leads to healthier bodies and sharper minds.

Special kudos to the sports teachers at BHS, Sir Tajammul and Sir Zeeshan, who worked hard to train and motivate the teams.
