Photography: An Art of Visual Story Telling

The Art and Design Department of Aitchison College, the Preparatory School organized the Annual Photography Competition on August 31, 2024. Over fifty students from E2, M1, and M2 took part.

The theme of the year was: "Micro Marvels." Students were invited to explore and capture the tiniest wonders of Nature. They were expected to focus on minute creatures, plants, and textures through their camera lenses and come out with something wonderful. The competition aimed to highlight the hidden beauty of the Divine. We encouraged our boys to capture the intricate aspects of our environment that in the busy humdrum of life often go unnoticed.

Friday Clubs and Societies

Every Friday, after school, Aitchison College Preparatory School bustles with creative activities in Clubs and Societies. With twenty-nine societies of students’ interest are available, in which we offer a wealth of opportunities to our students, so that they can hone their extracurricular skills.

If a boy wants to learn the art of convincing, the doors of English and Urdu Debating Clubs are open for him. Stage performers; let’s go to the Drama Society, where they are to enact various roles of different plays. Mastery of the English alphabet is taught in Scrabble Club and capturing the beauty of nature through a camera lens is instilled in Photography Club. If you want to compose rhythmic poems, come to the Poetry Club. A fair complexity in dealing with problems of numerical is solved in the Mathematic Club and some workable robotics projects are created in the Robotics Club. Our boys have already embarked on a journey that will lead them to a successful practical life.

Most of the matches were quite thrilling, especially the final. This closely contested final was won by DeSOM by 3-1 games

On the whole, it was a great learning experience for AC boys playing against the senior and more experienced players. The audience enjoyed a remarkable display of racket craftsmanship by the players representing different clubs in the tournament. The players aptly depicted their undying reliance, courage, and durability. We should have many more such Fundraiser Tournaments for the underprivileged and needy who have a lot of passion for the game but cannot afford to buy kits and Squash sports gear. Such tournaments motivate many youth players who most certainly can bring laurels nationally and internationally to the country. We sincerely hope that such fundraising contests will not only fulfill the financial needs of many neglected players but also give them opportunities to play the sport of their dreams. Such players can bring great glory and triumph to the country.

Profound thanks to all who made this tournament possible. Kudo to Sheheryer Akram, our current boy, who initiated this brilliant idea of organizing this charity event for such a noble cause.
