Despite their differences, all the houses revolved around the same theme, which was gemstones.
Imadi House was themed around Garnets, traditionally red and associated with the heart and blood, believed to inspire great deeds. Saifee House had flawless emeralds, which are known for their shimmery purity and tendency toward inclusions, whereas Najmi House showcased Citrine, believed to be a gift from the sun. Citrine is considered a stone of inner peace that radiates positive energy, calm, and prosperity.
It was a momentous occasion as the three houses came together in their final moments, cheering for each other with pure hearts! The air was filled with nostalgia and excitement as our past pupils made an appearance. The ground was buzzing with energy as they relived fond memories of their past years, their passion for their former houses still as strong as ever. With their bold, earth-shaking cheers, they competed fiercely, determined to keep the spirit of Burhani alive.
