On Wednesday, 26 November 2025, the students and teachers of Maranatha Christian High School went on a school trip to the Army Museum in Lahore. It was a great day for the children to learn about the history and heritage of their country: fun, full of learning and memorable for everyone who went.
History you can see
For many of our students, history is something they read about in their textbooks. At the museum, they saw it with their own eyes. They walked among:
- Old tanks and aeroplanes, much bigger up close than any picture in a book.
- The Azadi Train.
- Galleries on the wars and the defence history of Pakistan.
- A section on astronomy.
Learning about Partition
The students also learned about the history of the Partition of the subcontinent in 1947 and the birth of Pakistan. Hearing the story of that time, and seeing it brought to life in the museum, helped them understand the history of their own country in a new way.
Why we take children on trips
At MCHS we believe education happens outside the classroom too. Many of our students come from families who could never afford a day out like this. A visit to a museum opens their eyes, builds their curiosity and gives them memories they will keep for life.
We are grateful to our teachers, who planned the trip and took great care of every child, and to the friends of the school who make days like this possible.
“Get wisdom, get understanding.” (Proverbs 4:5)
