Military Collegiate School Khulna - MCSK

Military Collegiate School Khulna (MCSK) has launched its first-ever Book Reading Week 2026, organized by the Literature Club with the inspiring motto: “Reading Today, Leading Tomorrow.”

In an era where many young people spend a significant portion of their leisure time browsing social media and consuming unproductive online content, the habit of reading books is gradually declining. Recognizing the vital role of reading in developing intellect, wisdom, critical thinking, creativity, and leadership qualities, MCSK has undertaken this special initiative to encourage cadets to embrace books as lifelong companions.

The program commenced with the unveiling of the Book Reading Week motto by the Principal. Addressing the cadets, the Principal emphasized that the future leaders of Bangladesh must cultivate wisdom, analytical thinking, and creativity through regular reading. He highlighted that while social media often encourages distraction and superficial engagement, books foster concentration, understanding, imagination, and personality development.

The Principal further encouraged cadets to develop a daily reading habit, build personal libraries, and make books an inseparable part of their lives. He reminded them that readers do not merely gain knowledge; they gradually gain depth, vision, and leadership qualities.

As part of the inauguration ceremony, the Principal handed over a handsome collection of newly purchased books to the libraries of both the Boys’ and Girls’ Wings for the benefit of the cadets.

Military Collegiate School Khulna (MCSK) successfully conducted the Inter House English Extempore Speech Competition for the cadets of the Girls' Wing today.

This year's competition introduced a significant and innovative change in its format. Previously, only pre-selected cadets from each house participated, while others attended as spectators. However, in line with MCSK's vision of developing confident, articulate, and smart future leaders, all cadets were instructed to prepare themselves for the competition. The participants were then selected through a lottery conducted on the spot.

This new approach reflects MCSK's belief that every cadet should possess the confidence and capability to speak effectively before an audience on any given topic. By encouraging all cadets to prepare and remain ready to participate, such intellectual competitions help develop communication skills, critical thinking, spontaneity, and overall smartness among the cadets.

After a highly competitive contest, Captain Sitara Begum House emerged as the Champion, while Begum Rokeya House secured the position of Runner-up.

Today, MCSK proudly welcomed its newly admitted Class VII girls, who arrived with their parents and guardians to begin an exciting journey of learning, development, and self-discovery. The young cadets were greeted by their guide cadets and introduced to the ethos, traditions, and facilities of MCSK through a video documentary, a delightful cultural presentation, and an inspiring address by the Principal.

The orientation provided families with a glimpse of the institution’s unique blend of academic excellence, discipline, leadership development, and character building. Parents were also given the rare opportunity to visit the cadets’ houses and witness the environment where their daughters will live and grow.

As the day progressed, excitement mixed with emotions as families prepared to part ways. While parents entrusted their daughters to the care of MCSK, the novice cadets took their first confident steps towards a future filled with knowledge, resilience, friendship, and achievement. The program concluded with refreshments, interaction, and warm wishes for the newest members of the MCSK family.

Today marked a memorable milestone in the lives of the newly admitted Class VII boys as they stepped into the MCSK family. Accompanied by proud yet emotional parents and loved ones, the novice cadets were warmly welcomed by their guide cadets and introduced to the unique world of MCSK.

Through a documentary, a vibrant cultural programme, and an inspiring address by the Principal, the cadets and their families gained insight into the institution’s commitment to academic excellence, discipline, leadership, character building, and holistic development. The Principal also reassured parents that while the journey ahead would bring challenges, it would gradually transform the cadets into confident, responsible, and capable young leaders.

The day concluded with refreshments and a visit to the cadets’ houses—a special and emotional opportunity for parents to see where their sons will live, learn, grow, and create lifelong memories. As families bid farewell, a new journey began—one filled with hope, aspiration, friendship, and the promise of a brighter future.

As part of MCSK’s continuous academic development program, the Principal conducted an interactive session with the Class X cadets on effective preparation for the SSC Examination.

The session focused on strategies for maximizing scores, particularly attaining 100% marks in MCQ through thorough study of every chapter. Emphasis was also placed on time management in the examination hall, writing answers according to the marks allotted, and completing preparation beforehand to avoid unnecessary thinking and drafting during the examination.

Drawing from his own experience as a Board merit-list holder, the Principal shared practical study techniques and examination strategies, inspiring the cadets to pursue excellence through hardwork and systematic preparation.

As part of the ongoing In-House Teachers’ Enrichment Program, an English class of Class VIII (Girls’ Wing) was conducted today in the presence of the Principal, Vice Principal, and faculty members.

Following the lesson, a constructive assessment session was held where the observers shared their observations, strengths identified, and suggestions for improvement. The exercise served not only as professional feedback for the teacher concerned but also as a valuable learning opportunity for all faculty members present.

MCSK remains committed to fostering a culture of continuous professional development, collaborative learning, and excellence in classroom instruction.

As part of MCSK’s continuous efforts to prepare cadets for future leadership and service opportunities, the Residential Medical Officer conducted an informative session for the Class XI boys on the medical fitness requirements for the Inter Services Selection Board (ISSB) and entry into the Armed Forces.

The session provided valuable insights into the medical standards expected to join the Armed Forces. The cadets also participated in practical demonstrations of fitness exercises designed to improve their physical preparedness.

As part of its regular Village Immersion Program, the Class X Girls’ Wing cadets of Military Collegiate School Khulna visited Abdul Latif Memorial High School today. The team was accompanied by the Principal, Vice Principal, Adjutant, and Form Masters.

The program provided a valuable platform for meaningful interaction between students of both institutions. Under the moderation of the Principal, participants engaged in discussions on contemporary issues, including aspirations of young students, challenges of girls’ education, cyber safety, responsible use of technology, and social issues affecting adolescents.

The students also bonded through friendly sports, informal cultural exchanges, conversations, and shared experiences. A special attraction of the day was the on-site preparation of lunch, where the Principal personally cooked beef curry and demonstrated the art of cooking to interested students.

The program concluded with a reflection session, exchange of souvenirs, and expressions of gratitude. Through such initiatives, MCSK continues to nurture socially conscious, empathetic, and responsible future leaders while strengthening its engagement with the surrounding community.

As part of its commitment to environmental stewardship and a greener campus, Military Collegiate School Khulna has undertaken a unique tree plantation initiative at the Teachers’ Accommodation Area. A total of 71 trees were planted by 71 officers and faculty members, symbolizing their collective dedication to sustainability, environmental awareness, and future generations.

This initiative reflects MCSK’s enduring belief that nurturing nature is an integral part of nurturing responsible citizens and future leaders. The institution remains committed to creating a greener, healthier, and more sustainable environment for all.

To support the HSC Examinees in their final preparation, the Principal conducted a special academic session focusing on effective examination strategies. He emphasized achieving maximum marks in MCQ, proper time management, completing answers within the allotted time, and writing answers according to the marks assigned to each question.

The session concluded with a practical exercise where cadets practiced writing answers within prescribed marks and time limits, helping them develop confidence and examination skills for optimal performance.
