The Academic Year 2022-23 may have been delayed by rain but the start was momentous. The year began with Ohbat Majlis and students performed Matam and recited Shahadat to shed tears on Imam Husain SA and Ahle Bait SA.
This was followed by a prize distribution ceremony to acknowledge the high achievers of the last Academic Year 2021-22.
Brimming with excitement and overjoyed to meet their friends and teachers the students then stepped into their new classrooms. Icebreaking activities took up most of the morning. After break regular lessons began and the students then settled into the routine of a regular school day.
The teachers too were excited because they had come invigorated after a spree of in house Professional Development workshops customized for team BHS. All sections had gathered in the month of June to arm themselves with strategies to make the approaching academic year more productive than the last.
From basics like knowing their strengths to lesson planning, assessment making, parent-teacher interaction tips, brain development and learning through play, the trainers helped the teachers gear up for a fresh start.
Every new beginning brings with it the intention to do incredible things. For teachers the inception of the new academic year is vital as it puts the ball into motion and sets the tempo for the rest of the year.

Traditionally, every year grade X of BHS is taken for a memorable journey to KUN ziyarat. Its not just a travelling experience but a holistic learning and personality building experience. This year’s group was special because there were two batches merged– one batch of 2021 that could not go because of the pandemic and this year’s batch of 2022. The group of 103 took off from the Jinnah International airport at 9:55 am on 20th January 2022 and reached the blessed land of Karbala at night.
As they say, travelling is the mother of all the erudition. Students practically with their teachers learned how to follow the Arkans of ziyarat. From namaz, behori, salam and majlis everything showcased how Muffadal Maula TUS has prepared these young souls. From atraaf ziyarta to hours in the Haram and Imamat namaz–the students did not waste a minute and reaped maximum benefit during every moment of these seven days. As a teacher I witnessed how these students became responsible, confident and managed time efficiently, many a times inspiring the adults.
Students had ample opportunities to recite Marasiyah, giving azaan in the blessed mosque Masjid e Azam bil Kufa and a Majlis that was held in the Shrine of Imam Hussain AS and Maulana Ali SA which was a dream come true. The group returned satiated and grateful in the early morning hours of Friday the 28th of January 2022, where they were greeted by teary-eyed parents who showered the pilgrims with rose petals.
A student at BHS anticipates this Kun safar right from the time he/she steps into the Secondary section. For each group every memory is cherished and authors an important and lifer altering chapter in their lives.
The students of Grade 10 at Badri High School participated in Model United Nations IBA Karachi or MUNIK, the flagship event of the institute’s Public Speaking Society. Students debated on contemporary global issues on this year’s theme “Impact through Inclusion” in a mock setting of the United Nations.
The 12th edition of the event was graced by His Excellency the President of Pakistan , Dr Arif Alvi on Saturday 5th March 2022 and commended the role of forums such as the MUNIK to encourage discourse and teach students crucial skills including negotiations, diplomacy, and conflict resolution.
This was Badri High School’s maiden participation in an MUN for which they have been training since the last year under MUN Coach Talha Ansari.
The 14 students who represented BHS as MUN delegates came away from the 4 day event more aware, more confident, more purposeful and more grateful to the school for providing them such a life altering opportunity to rub shoulders with peers from other top institutes, politicians and decision makers.
Badri High School is a Dawoodi Bohra community school which is a manifestation of the vision of the 51st Dai al Mutlaq Syedna Taher Saifuddin. Inaugurated by the 52nd Dai al Mutlaq Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin in the year 1965 when His Holiness was Mazoon u Dawat
