Pakistan School congratulated His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and Prime Minister, members of the Royal Family and the people of Bahrain on Bahrain National Day.

Principal and Secretary Attiq ur Rehman and Chairman Sami ur Rehman extended their best wishes to the royal leadership, citizens and residents on behalf of the Pakistan School.

The history of Pakistan School dates back to the 1960’s when the leading visionary members of the community realised the need for a schooling system for their children, leading to the establishment of a small primary school in 1968 in a rented building in Fariq Fadil area of Manama, said school officials. “After a few years the school was upgraded to secondary level education following affiliation with the Federal Board, Islamabad, Pakistan. In 1984, the new campus of the Pakistan School was constructed in Isa town, which was inaugurated by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, the Deputy Supreme Commander and the First Deputy Premier. Two new blocks, Jinnah Block and Sir Sayyed Block were constructed in the Isa town campus, between 1994-95.”

“Today Pakistan school has two wings, Manama (Primary) and the main campus, Isa Town. Besides Pakistanis, the school is delivering education to more than 2600 students from 20 different countries. Pakistan School has laid down a well-defined and practical network of extra and co-curricular activities for the personality and the character building of students. These activities are conducted on inter class, inter house and inter school levels. Pakistani students have been performing tremendously in the Bahrain level sports, academic and cultural activities. Under the able leadership of the sitting Board of Management, Pakistan school has covered many distinctive landmarks over the last five years in academic and administrative areas. Pakistan School’s Federal Board results have shown consistent and impressive improvements over the last four years.”
