SCHOOLS
During the third week of September 2009, Doctors from Ebrahim Haji Charitable Centre were invited to visit the Al Muntazir Schools to share valuable information about Swine Flu to the children and Staff of Al Muntazir Schools.
On Monday, the 21st of September, the morning assembly was very special for the children at Al Muntazir Girls Primary School. The guest speaker Dr. Suheil Chagani gave a talk on the symptoms of swine flu and how we can keep ourselves safe from it. Dr. Chagani explained all the necessary information in very simple language so that the young children could understand the context of the talk.
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Dr. Mohamed Manji addressed the Seminary Girls, Boys, and Boys Primary respectively during the assembly program. On Friday Dr. Manji visited the Nursery School at midday and addressed the teachers and staff. His explanation was accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation to enrich the shared information.
It was a highly interactive session across the campuses in which the concerns and the high level of interest of the children and staff came out as they asked the doctor questions about various aspects of the pandemic.
The doctors answered all the queries from the children so patiently and clarified all the misconceptions and doubts so much so that the assembly lasted for nearly one hour!!
The children will now remember to cover their mouth and nose with a clean tissue or a handkerchief while coughing or sneezing and to always wash their hands before touching their eyes and mouth or before eating anything so that they can keep themselves and their friends safe from germs!!!
We sincerely thank the Central Medical Board for their active support and assistance in facilitating the program for Al Muntazir Schools. May Allah (s.w.t) grant Jaza-e- Khair.

KSIJ CBE holds Staff Retreat 2007
“An Institution that does not change, dies”
The KSIJ CBE has always believed that change is the only way to success. It also believes that change is not possible without the coordination and support of all the people involved in the change.
To pursue this objective, the CBE organized a Staff Retreat Program for the top and middle level management of the Al Muntazir Schools on 10th November 2007 at the Seminary Hall from 12.30pm – 5pm.
After the introduction of the program by Mazaher Tejani, the participants and their families were guided to the lunch area. The lunch was followed by an interactive presentation on Leadership, Communication and Commitment by Shabbir Moledina.
Mr Moledina guided the audience through the concepts of leadership that circles around the ability of the person to hold on to himself and at the same time connect with others. He then allowed the audience to air their views regarding the communication processes at the Institution and ways to make it more effective.
This presentation was followed by a talk from the CBE Chairman Dr. Dharsee on the Vision of the CBE for all the Al Muntazir Schools. The Chairman shared the aspirations that the CBE has for the schools in terms of Academics, Discipline, Religious Education, Parental Involvement, Human resource and Marketing. He then opened up a healthy discussion forum for participants to give their opinions and concerns.
The program was concluded by the CBE Board Secretary Mr Zulfikar Chandoo who imparted inspirational statements to clarify the difference between flocking together and flowing together. He mentioned that if CBE has to succeed with its aspirations, then each and every member of the Institution must learn to flow together rather than flock together.
In the end, the participants were asked to write down their wishes for the Al Muntazir Schools while networking over coffee.
“We should have these programs often,” one of the participants said. “It allows all of us to move together towards making Al Muntazir better than the best.”

It was indeed a great morning, full of inspiration and motivation. Let’s hope this spirit of dedication and team work flows into the next year!
Thumbs up for the winners!!
Previous: Building Bridges…WAMA
The KSIJ Central Board of Education feels privileged and honored to be the first academic institution to respond to the First Lady’s noble campaign WAMA.
In a country where the opportunities for education are not equally shared and where a lot of talent goes wasted just because of the absence of facilities, Mama Salma Kikwete’s campaign is indeed commendable.
Education being the aim of the KSIJ CBE, we would like to add strength to the First Lady’s initiative. As a first token of our sincere support, we have allocated five scholarships in the Secondary School for girls under the initiated scheme named WAMA.
We hope that this campaign shall be a stepping stone that shall institute a new tradition of philanthropy and benevolence.
