The four houses now have a House Captain and Deputy House Captain each. All of them along with the Prefects and the elected Secretary, Deputy Headgirl and Headgirl took an oath of office at a ceremony.

We held an event at our school to celebrate the life and work of Shyai’re Mashriq, Allama Iqbal.
Director Education at Mashal, Tallat Azim, said that it would not be fair to call Iqbal a Pakistani poet. His message and vision is for the entire Muslim population of the world. And that his work is influenced by and reflects passages of the Holy Quran.
The programme began with ‘Khuddi ka sirr e nihan’. The students also sang ‘Lab pai aati hai dua’ , ‘Her lehza hai Momin ki nai aan nai shan’. Three girls recited the Persian poem called ‘Az khawab e girran khez’. Apart from a couple of speeches on his life and achievements the finale was the mesmerising Shikwa and Jawab e Shikwa that are among Iqbal s best known poems.
The programme ended with a note of appreciation by Mashal’s President Fawzia Asim.
A weeklong celebration of Seerat un Nabi to commemorate the month of Rabiaul Awal- the birth month of our beloved Prophet (PBUH) was organised at the school for girls run by Mashal Association. The celebration culminated with a Mehfil e Milad, attended by the students & staff of our school and members of Mashal. It was a beautiful and spiritual morning. Apart from recitation of Durood o Salaam the examples and best practices that Hazrat Muhammad our Prophet (PBUH) represented in his behaviour were recalled and the essence of Islam explained to the students.
The Medical Department arranged a Free Medical Camp on 20th September 2022 in collaboration with The Diabetes Centre which is Pakistan’s First Specialized Diabetes Hospital.
Initially Mashal school children from class 8 onwards, were screened out.The students first screened out for blood sugar level, then went to data entry desk, then to the Nutritionist, then to Diabetologist and finally to the Ophthalmologist.
After the student’s screening short lectures were given to the students, domestic workers and the members who were present by The Diabetologist, Nutritionist and the Ophthalmologist.
Later on question and answer session was held. Then Mashal domestic staff went through this whole process. Efforts were made to accommodate as many persons as possible within the given time (which was till 3p.m) and capacity. In the end a simple lunch was served to the guests (which was hosted by the doctors of the Medical Department).
Gosha-e-Mashal School held its annual prize distribution ceremony on 10th March 2020. M.D. National Education Foundation Tahira Shaikh was the Chief Guest at the event and distributed prizes to the position holders. The students displayed their talents in a beautifully choreographed variety programme comprising national songs and tableau, which was highly appreciated by the Chief Guest and Mashal Members.
The Chief Guest was very impressed by the missionary zeal of the Mashal Association, which being a charity organization, is imparting education as well as inculcating the spirit of patriotism and developing confidence in presenting their extracurricular skills.
Tahira Shaikh stated that the challenges of the modern world necessitate the development of educated, determined and motivated girls to fulfil their responsibilities.
Voice of America had kindly donated radio sets, which were also distributed among the prize winners and also lower staff of the Mashal Association.
On this auspicious occasion, President Mashal Association, Rukhsana Sarfraz, in her concluding address, thanked the Chief Guest for gracing the occasion and appreciated the efforts of the organizers, Fauzia Asim, Farzana Saeed and the teachers and staff of the Education Department.
