They emphasised that helping others brings spiritual reward and fosters a strong sense of community.

Through this charity drive, they learned that Ramadan is not only about fasting but also about kindness, sharing, and supporting others

Mastery Series: Mathematics Workshop Successfully Conducted

Designed to enhance teaching practices and strengthen student engagement in Mathematics by adding games, fun and laughter, the interactive sessions introduced practical strategies to promote deeper conceptual understanding and active learning in classrooms.

Bridging Neuroscience and Education: A Seminar on the "Psychobiology of Learners"

In a continued effort to foster innovative professional growth, the Teaching & Learning Centre recently hosted a compelling seminar for faculty from the Campus Boys & Girls Schools. Led by Dr. Muhammad Mustafa, Biology Teacher from the Senior School, the session titled “Psychobiology of Learners: Understanding Cognition and Creating Active Learning Environments” successfully bridged the gap between scientific research and classroom practice.

The 90-minute session, attended by approximately 50 teachers from Junior, Prep, and Senior sections, was inspired by Dr. Mustafa’s own research, recently accepted for publication in the journal Neuropsychobiology. His work on the biological models of fear and stress provided an evidence-based foundation to help educators understand how emotional states directly influence a student’s ability to encode and retrieve information effectively decoding the biological "source code" of learning.

The impact was both significant and immediate. Feedback from attendees reinforced a powerful consensus: teacher behaviour is the primary architect of the student’s neural environment. The seminar successfully shifted faculty perspectives from traditional pedagogical views to a more nuanced, psychobiological understanding of their students.
