If you were to look up the definition of the word "Respect" in a google search, you would find that it refers to the "feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities or achievements". This web search would also need to include a picture of Al Siraat Islamic representative team at the Schools Cup Competition, as they were commended by the Cup organizers for their outstanding respect.

Despite not having made it to the finals in the boys and girls competition, this feedback about our students' respect for the competition and others was more valuable. As most would know, one of our College values is indeed respect, and with this value we learn to treat others or behave in a way that shows thoughtful consideration.
Masha'Allah, our participating students did just that and more. It is this example that should be shared with others to improve both the culture in and out of school.
