Pakistan's Oldest School Magazine
The Gallian is the annual magazine of Lawrence College Ghora Gali, one of the oldest school publications in Pakistan. Published at the end of each academic year, it serves as a comprehensive record of Gallian life — chronicling academic achievement, sporting triumphs, cultural events, creative writing, and the broader story of the college community.
The magazine is produced entirely by students, with editorial teams drawn from both the English and Urdu sections. Faculty advisors guide the process, but the voice, perspective and creativity are always those of the Gallians themselves. The Gallian preserves a living record of the college's journey — one that Old Gallians treasure for decades after they leave Ghora Gali.
Sections of The Gallian
English Section
The English section carries the Principal's message, editorial, school reports, sports results, house notes, feature articles, fiction, poetry and profiles of departing Gallians. It is the backbone of the magazine and the primary archive of the college year.
اردو سیکشن (Urdu Section)
The Urdu section provides a parallel record of college life for students whose first literary language is Urdu. It includes Urdu poetry, essays, short stories and reflections on Gallian life — ensuring that both linguistic traditions of Pakistan are represented in the magazine.
Photography & Art
A dedicated photography and art section showcases student artwork, photography from college events, sports days, tours and campus life. These images form an irreplaceable visual record of Gallian life across the generations.
House Notes
Each of the four houses — Wightwick, Walker, Peake and Wright — contributes its own section to The Gallian. House notes record inter-house competition results, house events, house officers and the personalities that made each house distinctive that year.
