News Student Leadership
18 June 2026
As the sun set over Queen Victoria Market, a group of Al Siraat College Year 12 students transformed an ordinary evening into an act of service.
Led by our College Captains and Secondary Senior students, they prepared fresh BBQ kebab burgers with onions and tomatoes, served alongside cold drinks. What began as a cooking session soon became an opportunity to connect with people, listen to their stories and share genuine kindness.
For many students, the experience was about more than serving food. It was about recognising the dignity of every person, offering a smile, a conversation and a reminder that no one should feel forgotten.
Alhamdulillah, more than 100 people enjoyed a warm meal throughout the evening. Yet the greatest impact was found in the gratitude shared and the lessons learned about empathy, humility and service.
At Al Siraat, we believe leadership is demonstrated through actions. Through initiatives such as Feed the Homeless, students step beyond their comfort zones to become active contributors to society. This experience reflected our commitment to Real Life Learning, developing compassion and social responsibility through meaningful community engagement.
As the evening drew to a close, our students left with a powerful reminder that even the simplest acts of kindness can make a lasting difference. Sometimes, changing the world begins with sharing a meal and showing that someone cares.
