Zahira College Matale - Houses

Houses

The students are divided into four Houses:

  • Azad (Green)
  • Iqbal (Blue)
  • Jayah (Yellow)
  • Jinnah (Red)'

The names are derived from distinguished past headmasters and principals of Zahira College. The houses compete annually in all major games to win the respective inter-house games. This is a great opportunity for young Zahirians to enhance their skills.

Famous quotes containing the word houses:

    “Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
    —Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)

    “Hast ever ben in Omaha
    Where rolls the dark Missouri down,
    Where four strong horses scarce can draw
    An empty wagon through the town?
    Where sand is blown from every mound
    To fill your eyes and ears and throat;
    Where all the steamboats are aground,
    And all the houses are afloat?...
    If not, take heed to what I say,
    You’ll find it just as I have found it;
    And if it lies upon your way
    For God’s sake, reader, go around it!”
    —For the State of Nebraska, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Wherever there’s a fight so hungry people can eat, I’ll be there. Wherever there’s a cop beating up a guy, I’ll be there. I’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad. I’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry and they know supper’s ready. And when the people eat the stuff they raise, and living in the houses they build, I’ll be there, too.”
    —Nunnally Johnson (1897–1977)
