OGS celebrated 175 Years of KGS on Saturday, 26 th November, 2022. It was indeed a privilege and a proud moment to be able to put together this land mark event.
Rich in its history, KGS has united us through the bonds of friendship, networking, and shared memories – even across generations. There were some families where 3 generations were present!
The beautiful venue was decorated keeping in mind the school colours and the iconic arch and bell.
We were graced by the presence of personalities that are institutions in themselves. Mrs Mujahid delighted all with her stories and amazed us by remembering so many details. Her ability to remember everyone’s name remains unmatched. Mrs Marianna Karim, was amazing as always and led us through the history of OGS as the founding president. Mrs Yasmin Khan who was the headmistress of the college section after Mrs Mujahid also attended and has always been a support to all OGS events. Lots of alumni, many OGS past Presidents and Trustees of OGS attended and we all sang the school song together – INDOCTI DISCANT NOW AND ALWAYS !
The OGS TRUST supports education and provides scholarships for local education in school and colleges to all those who are deserving – this includes non- grammarians also Adnan Syed class of ‘87, sketched and painted the arch and bell for us in water colour. This original artwork was then used as the branding for this milestone event; on our invitation cards, the bags, menu card, media wall and the plaques. The original artwork was put on silent auction and was purchased by a very generous person the sane night.
Haya Fauqui class of 2018 captured gorgeous pictures of the middle school building and were seen all around the venue.
A very big thank you to Mrs Ronak and Mr.Iqbal Lakhani for opening up their beautiful home for us , their support and hospitality
