FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK


Academic Year 2024-25.

My Dear Students, Parents and My MWA Team,
Assalaamualaikum wa Rahmathullahi Wa Barakath.

Greetings of Peace to you all.

As we face the coming year 2025, we are set to commemorate and celebrate the Centennial of our Association, THE MWA, in the field of Community Development and Service ….and the Diamond Jubilee of 75 glorious years of MWA School in the field of Education.

The Creator has always blessed our MWA School with His Mercy. Each of us here, are touched with this Barakah, (a deep and peaceful blessing), in the work, time and energy we give, in the cause of education as Honorary Members.

The legacy of true Leadership is based on meritocracy. With this belief, The MWA has worked ceaselessly from the time of our founders Begum Mazherudin, Begum Nazir Hussain Saheba, Begum Zinda Saheb Mohajer and Dr. Mrs. Rahmathunissa Begum, to maintain the standards of service to community development, social justice, and equal opportunity.

In my predecessors Mrs. Bilquis Chida and Mrs.Zubaida Asgar Ali Dhala, I had great teachers and mentors who gave me their complete trust and allowed me the support and encouragement I needed, to water this beautiful plant, make the right decisions, and execute plans to watch it grow into the great strong tree it is today. Alhamdulillah.

The MWA is a labor of love, and I am ever so grateful to Allah Subhana wa Tala, for having given me the privilege and honor to serve here, in the cause of Education.

At The MWA, we aim to impart quality education, imbibe the values of honesty and truth, and work on holistic development of the child, enabling each child to shine in the strengths they each have been granted.

Our Principal, Heads, Teachers, and Staff are all part of this team, which is governed by our capable and energetic Honorary Secretary, Treasurers along with an experienced and dedicated Executive Committee. As your President, I strive to do my best and stay true to the ideals of MWA. Alhamdulillah.

This year we will begin The MWA Centennial Celebrations, Insha Allah, by opening our doors to the physically challenged children who can use the newly constructed elevator and ramps for their ease of movement. MWA believes in respect and dignity for all citizens.

We will once more dedicate ourselves to carving out the excellence in our students and building upon their strengths. Multiple intelligences and multiple strengths only promise happy faces and wholesome childhoods.

Our Special Education Department will continue with assessments, remedials and eventually aim to normal mainstream children.
Our NIOS is set to reach new horizons.
The Language and Arts Clubs and the Eco Club are our pride and joy.
AND our Sports Teams are rearing to go …

Welcome back ……..let’s give it our best!

From the Principal’s Desk


At the outset of the new academic year 2024, as Vice Principal heading the Senior School, I am honoured to share how at The MWA, we are dedicated to instilling empathy, integrity, and a sense of community in our students.

At our institution, we strive for academic excellence while focusing on the holistic development of our students. The values learned inside and outside the classroom are just as important as academic achievements.

Every morning, the life of MWA students begins with active listening to topics on moral values. These are presented in the form of short plays and speeches by their seniors or peers during the assembly. The Principal enlightens the assembly with her resounding words.

The following are some of the core values we emphasize:

Empathy: Empathy is the cornerstone of strong human relationships. By teaching our students to understand and share the feelings of others, we cultivate a community of caring individuals. Through interactive activities, community service projects such as gardening, educational trips, and classroom discussions, students learn to put themselves in others' shoes, fostering a culture of kindness and respect.

Integrity: Integrity means being honest and having strong moral ethics. We motivate our students to practice integrity both inside and outside the classroom. This includes being honest, taking responsibility for their actions, and standing up for what is right. Our curriculum and extracurricular programs, such as value education meetings, career guidance programs, and Eco Club meetings, are designed to reinforce these values, helping students build a strong ethical foundation.

Respect: Respect for others, regardless of their background, beliefs, or abilities, is a prime value we uphold. Our school encourages a diverse and inclusive environment where every student feels valued and respected. Through various cultural programs at the School's Annual Day, we teach our students to appreciate and celebrate diversity.

Teamwork and Collaboration: Teamwork and collaboration are valuable skills in today’s world. We promote collaborative learning through group projects, peer tutoring, and team-based activities at the Science Expo, Carnival, and Sports Events. These experiences teach students the importance of working together, listening to different perspectives, and achieving common goals.

By incorporating these values into our daily routines and educational practices, we aim to develop well-rounded individuals who are not only knowledgeable but also compassionate and principled.

Our students are encouraged to apply these values in their lives, making meaningful contributions to society and becoming the leaders of tomorrow. At MWA, we are committed to providing an environment that supports both academic and personal excellence.

We believe that by instilling these values in our children, we are helping to shape a brighter and more promising future for all.

May Allah (s.w.t) help us stay steadfast in working together as a team towards the vision the school believes in. Aameen.
