Special Awards Ceremonies were conducted this week for our Junior School students in Years Foundation – 2 and Years 3 – 6 to congratulate them for their tremendous efforts and fantastic learning year.
During the ceremony, we said farewell to our Year 6 students who are graduating from the Junior School and pray that they will continue to develop into students with a strong sense of self-worth, knowledge, self discipline and always be excited to learn something new each day, inShaAllah.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all teaching staff for the positive part they have played in the education of our students and for their professionalism, teamwork, and dedication throughout the year. They have made a difference in the lives of our students and strive to grow and improve as we encourage our students in the classroom.
A special "Thank You" to our specialist teaching staff, learning support team, administration staff, maintenance team, PFF and our supportive management who contribute to the growth and excellence of º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ.
Furthermore, we would like to thank all parents who took the time to attend our Special Awards Ceremony and joined us in celebrating the students' achievements as well as another wonderful year at Al Siraat: Your continued contribution and support is an integral part of the College family and we hope to further foster our partnership throughout your child’s journey.
Have safe and wonderful holidays!
