 Activity 1: Co-curricular Activities

The purpose of these activities is to take part in co-curricular activities in school.

Assembly

Please observe assembly (one per week) and share your views on this activity. You can also
conduct assembly (if school allows you).

1. Write the steps involved in conducting the assembly?

1. Tilawat e Glorious Quran:

- The meeting started with students reading selected extracts from the Holy Quran in order
to promote Islam in the whole society as well as gain religious directions.

2. Naat in praise of Prophet Muhammad PBUH:2. Naat in praise of Prophet Muhammad

PBUH:

- Around the week, the students were performing a loving and emotional Naat spoken by a
guest speaker where he was narrating the love for Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

3. Joint Prayers:

- The students prayed together; this had a common aim of bringing together the people
involved joining hands for a cause and also sought the blessings of Allah.

4. National Anthem:

- Later on, the national anthem of Pakistan was played and sung by the students of the
campus which makes every one of the gatherings aware of the feeling of pride for their
country.

5. Message of the day by Head of institution:

- The head of the institution in his brief but effective speech covered formalities, topics of
general interest, inspiring stump speeches and lessons the students need to learn in order
to be a better person.

6. What is the role of assembly for students’ grooming?

1. Character Building:

2
 - Based on the learning points met at the assembly, students get to practice discipline,
respect and empathy when praying and listening to motivational speeches.

2. Spiritual Growth:

- In this way, it brings spirituality by teaching and emphasizing the rituals of Islam among
the congregation and making a feeling of being in the presence of Allah by the recitation of
the Holy Quran and Naats.

3. National Pride:

- When singing the national anthem, the students are trained andtaught ways of being
patriotic towards their nation hence enhancing their morale and feelings of being proud of
their nation.

4. Leadership Skills:

- Students get to engage in leadership tasks aiding in the organization and the coordination
of segments in the assembly for instance, as a speaker or by supervising the related activities.

5. Community Building:

- They also bring together students in effort to foster unity among them by appreciating the
diversity that exists in schools. The assembly reinforces the spirit of fraternity and co-
existence among different students.

On the whole, it is overwhelming clear that assembly has a myriad of benefits to the students’
grooming educationally, morally, spiritually, nationally and in leadership, and community
building aspect.

Reflection: What things you can improve while conducting assembly?

1. Engagement:

- Enhance the motivation of the student by using such methods of questioning and answering
sessions or group and assembly discussions and hands-on activities during the assembly.

2. Diversity and Inclusivity:

3
 - Make sure the assembly represents everybody in the school by asking different cultural
groups, religion groups and disabled persons to be included.

3. Relevance:

- Add the depth to the topics that are essential for assembly by involving topics that students
can relate to like career options, depression, or global warming.

4. Feedback Mechanism:

- They should be lending feedback on how the assembly should be conducted next time so
that it can be able to meet the set goals of full engagement of all the students as well as their
overall satisfaction.

5. Collaboration with External Experts:

Unfortunately, this is not very far from the truth and now, and a brief survey of some recent
works show that continued mathematical activity along such lines will serve no purpose
except to confirm that the development of algebraic number theory parallel to analysis and
the abstracting of algebra has become one of the principal trends in modern mathematics.

- Also engage external contacts, or guest speakers, to come in and share with students their
knowledge about different subjects that may be useful in the assembly and enhance the
learning process during the assembly.

If these improvements are achieved then there is definitely an opportunity to enhance the
assemblies or make them more dynamic, involving, relevant and useful in enhancing the
personality and development of students.
