In response to India's COVID-19 crisis we partnered with AGSB's Islamic Society, embarking on a compassionate mission and raising an impressive £2338.60 to provide much-needed oxygen concentrators, essential kits and vital medicines. This act was inline with our core value, "sewa" - a selfless service, where we extended our helping hand without expecting anything in return.

During Utsav 2021, our HSJS members from year 7 to 13 took part in a captivating Ramayana reenactment, with the entire production scripted and directed by the committee.
