Faisalabad: Beaconhouse Birthday was celebrated on Friday 6th Nov with its full pomp and splendour. The special ceremony was made memorable with the serving of a delicious brunch. The jubilance didn’t end there as the staff was acknowledged for their services by awarding of certificates.

BSU could not have been possible without the guideline of administration and innovative tools used for staff to make learning possible at the time of the pandemic. The beaming faces of the teaching staff were observed at the time of the certificate awarding ceremony.

Origin
For centuries, poets have eulogized Zephyrus, the Greek god of the west wind, and his "swete breeth" (in the words of Geoffrey Chaucer). Zephyrus, the personified west wind, eventually evolved into zephyr, a word for a breeze that is westerly or gentle, or both. Breezy zephyr blew into English with the help of poets and playwrights, including William Shakespeare, who used the word in his play Cymbeline: "Thou divine Nature, thou thyself thou blazon'st / In these two princely boys! They are as gentle / As zephyrs blowing below the violet." Today, zephyr is also the sobriquet of a lightweight fabric and the clothing that is made from it.
