Head Teacher’s Welcome Message
“
I feel extremely privileged to introduce myself as the Head teacher of AKU section in Habib Public School and Habib Public High School. For the past 20 years, I have undertaken various roles and worked in the capacity of teacher, subject coordinator, senior coordinator, deputy head teacher. Moreover, I have also served as a teacher trainer and a mentor from different platforms.
Habib Public High School is a diverse and vivacious learning community where expectations and values are high. We foster an environment where all students show respect and kindness to one another and the world around them. We provide them with opportunities to think critically about the ‘why, how and what’ of the world and its issues and problems, around them. Our students are progressing in terms of learning, creativity and their understanding of themselves and others. We are very proud of what they achieve and we are relentless in our efforts to ensure that they are academically, socially and emotionally prepared for the future.
In the 21st century, the digital revolution affects us all, quite simply it is changing everything. HPHS took a new start of digitalized teaching and learning to equip its students with technology and build their capacity to reach their fullest potential. We offer students the opportunity of blended learning through google classroom along with the various digital communication platforms where they can easily collaborate and communicate with teachers and each other. We also focus on digital citizenship where these digital natives learn all about digital etiquettes and their digital footprint. I look forward to working with students and parents in the coming years.
Sincerely yours,
“
