College Song

To Set The Cause Above Renown

To Love The Game Beyond The Prize.

To Honour, While You Strike Him Down

The Foe That Comes With Fearless Eyes.

To Count The Life Of Battle Good

And Dear The Land That Gave You Birth.

And Dearer Yet The Brotherhood

That Binds The Brave Of All The Earth.

To-Day And Here The Fight’s Begun

Of The Great Fellowship You’re Free.

Hencefoth The School And You Are One

And What You Are, The Race Shall Be.

Message from The Principal
I am delighted to welcome you to Lawrence College, Pakistan’s premier
residential institution. Located in the heart of Murree’s greenery the College
provides a very beautiful, serene and safe environment. This, combined with
a healthy and invigorating climate provides ideal conditions for academic,
sports and co-curricular activities. Our inclusive ethos and commitment to the
highest standards of all round education have ensured an enviable reputation for
Lawrence College. We are proud and gratified that our students come from all
over Pakistan and represent a broad cross section of society making LCGG a
mini-Pakistan in the truest sense.

We are justifiably proud of our academic performance, but at LCGG education means much more than the pursuit of top grades. Character
building, instilling high moral values, development of wholesome personality and awareness of societal obligations are central to what we offer
here. We are acutely aware of our obligation to equip our students to make their way in the world as confident, caring, dignified and responsible
global citizens. The sense of discipline and respect for rules is a great strength of the College. It is a learning community that seeks success for
each student as we strive to deepen our core values of unshakeable faith, belief in hard work, achievements through honest and fair means and
facing challenges boldly.

At LCGG, we aim to encourage a never ending quest for knowledge among our students. We strive to inculcate an open mind and constructive
and rational thinking. Inquisitiveness, curiosity and hunger for knowledge are qualities we try to impart. We encourage open discussion and free
exchange of ideas. We provide a very conducive and rich learning environment where all teachers, working tirelessly and with devotion avail
every opportunity to impart knowledge. We strongly believe in a merit based system in everything we do.

We have already begun the process of further improving our overall curriculum. Over the last few months, the Faculty and College management
have had several conversations on ways that our three schools can bring about some significant improvements. In the coming years, greater
emphasis will be placed at all levels to build up our students’ capacity beyond just the academic areas. Leadership, discipline and organizational
skills will feature strongly in their co-curricular education. We plan and hope to make LCGG a centre of excellence in all aspects.

Lawrence College is a unique and exciting educational community. I look forward to welcoming you here.
