The Nasra Family has been blessed to include several shining stars in its fold, including our very own supernova, Sports Coordinator extraordinaire, Humera Siddiqui.
A highly qualified sports professional with a BA BP Ed, Humera also possesses a National Athletics Technical official course certification from Pakistan Sports Board, several cricket certifications for coaching and training from PCB, a coaching and umpiring authority from the Throw Ball Federation; a net ball coaching and umpiring authority from Pakistan Net Ball, SNA Federation and Australian Federation; Certification of Right to Play; and perhaps the most paramount, First Aid Training (CPR) from AKU-EB amongst many others.
With a tenure at Nasra comprising over 28 years, Humera has performed many roles- physical education teacher, coach, sports coordinator, guru, and all-around athletic savant, accruing an endless list of awards and recognitions along the way, which we are immensely proud to enumerate: Husn-e-Karkardagi Award, given by Firdous Ittehad Social & Sports Association; Token of Appreciation in Karachi Table Tennis Championship 2018; Kashmir Day Sports Award by Firdous Ittehad Social & Sports Association; Appreciation by Sindh Tug of War Association in the 13th National Men’s Tug of War Championship 2019; Appreciation Award by Pakistan Table Tennis Federation in South Asian Cadet and Junior Table Tennis Championship 2016.
In recent years, Humera has lent her expertise to a vast number of athletic tournaments, serving as an Executive member of the Karachi Table Tennis Association; Senior Vice-President of the Karachi Athletics Association (2017); Deputy Tournament Director of Tug of War Championship (2018); Vice President of Pakistan Sports Welfare Association (2019).
With a smile on her face at all times, an ambitious can-do which she infuses in Nasra’s student athletes (frequently leading them to victory and recognition on scholastic and national levels), Humera Siddiqui is a luminary, continuously perpetuating the name and emblazoning the legacy of Nasra School.
