The
TMHS, as a pro-Islamic and modern school, must
maintain a sharp focus on the pursuit of knowledge
and skill. In particular, it must attain the highest
academic standards. The school should attract the
best talent – students, teachers and facilitators –
from all parts of Pakistan and the world, without
distinction of race, religion, caste, or social
status.
In addition, drawing on its traditions and its rich
history, the school should aim at the broader
development of the complete personality of its
students by creating:
* An understanding and appreciation of Pakistan’s
rich culture
* A sense of integrity, ethics, and uncompromising
honesty
* A strong Islamic ethos
* Leadership, with a sense of team work and fair
play
* An awareness of the environment
* A concern for the less fortunate
* A concern for human rights and democratic values
* A questioning mind and a spirit of adventure
* In realizing its mission, The TMHS should at all
times be financially viable and independent. |

School Code and
Policies |
 These codes and policies
were “in our heads” and were fairly well known in
the Tabindah community. Why then put them in a book?
For one thing, we began to feel the need to
consolidate them in one place. Also, there were
codes and policies that were becoming rather hazy in
our collective memory or that needed fairly drastic
review. In addition, there were areas that had not
been codified such as the practices governing
information technology or, in academics, the
understanding of plagiarism, or in publishing, a
workable and succinct guide to journalistic ethics.
As is usually the case in the school, many of these
codes and policies were reviewed and written with
the help of the students. Drafts were presented to
the School Council and revisions, where necessary,
were incorporated before being finally passed by the
representatives of the students and teachers. It
would be fair to say that their publication reflects
a rather solid consensus. The handbook is meant for
the students, masters, parents, and Governors of the
school.
It goes without saying that the school will, from
time to time, revise these codes and policies. This
is the second edition of the handbook. Clearly, no
handbook can be expected to incorporate every code
and policy that governs school life any more than a
national constitution or book of laws can encompass
all the norms and prohibitions of a society. The aim
here is to make available to the Tabindah community
the major tenets and rules of the school. |

Curriculum
|
Our well-equipped school
library subscribes to a variety of newspapers and
magazines and also has computers with internet
connections. Being informed on current affairs is a
vital link to the outside world. Every student is
provided with a daily newspaper of his choice to
ensure that that link is sustained.
The 10 minute break between the first and second
bell refreshes their minds, stretches their limbs
and gives them an opportunity to reflect on what has
been taught or just chat with friends en route.
The students are assigned classrooms, while the
teachers walk to their respective subject rooms at
the end of each ‘class’.
The overall student/teacher ratio is 20:1, and the
average strength of a class is around 20 students. |
The TMHS follows a five and a half
day week consisting of 40 periods (each period is
referred to as a ‘school’ of 40 minutes each).
Rather than following the system of streaming the
students according to their performance, they are
randomly divided into sections. |

Teaching Staff |
|
Our faculty at the TMHS
enlarges the learning experience. Every teacher is
assigned a tutorial group of about ten students. The
interaction with this group goes beyond the usual
facilitator’s role. Pastoral and counselory roles
are merged, and the students benefit immensely.
Occasional outings with tutors to explore the Punjab
province and midterm expeditions strengthen the
bonds between students and
teachers.
Teacher training programmes organized at the main campus and
workshops attended at different venues are a regular
feature and ensure that the faculty keeps abreast of
the latest developments in the field of education.
The school is committed to increasing its teacher
development programmes, both academic and
non-academic.
At the TMHS, we value
our most invaluable resource – our teachers. They,
in turn, not only transact the curriculum, but also
generate an enthusiasm for learning and a
questioning, critical disposition. |
