News Student Leadership
13 August 2025
On last Sunday, 10 August 2025, the Queen Victoria Market car park became a hub of kindness, thanks to the dedicated efforts of our Secondary Student Representative Council (SRC). These compassionate students set out to make a difference by feeding the homeless and brightening their day.
Led by our Year 12 boys and College Vice-Captain, the team organised a live cooking session, preparing tasty BBQ kebab burgers with onions and tomatoes, and serving refreshing drinks. The joy on the faces of the homeless as they enjoyed these warm meals was truly heart-warming.
Alhamdulillah, over 100 people were served, ensuring no one went without food. The smiles and gratitude shared were a testament to the power of compassion, generosity, and community spirit.
At Al Siraat, we live our values in action. This event reflected our value of “Real Life Learning”, encouraging students to engage in meaningful, real-world activities that foster growth and empathy.
Our mission is to inspire kindness and empathy in our students, nurturing them to become leaders who spread goodness and make a positive impact. This event was a powerful reminder of the difference small acts of kindness can make.
Student reflections:
“On Sunday, August 10th, seven of us boys from Year 12 came together to prepare and distribute burger patties to the homeless. All the food was given away, ensuring everyone we served received a warm meal. Alhamdulillah, it was a humbling experience that reminded us of all the blessings Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has bestowed upon us.” – Farhan Abid, Year 12
“I found it to be a wonderful event, Alhamdulillah. Upon seeing so many people devoid of a basic necessity – shelter – we were reminded of the innumerable blessings Allah has bestowed upon us, which we often overlook. It reminded me of the statement of Allah (in meaning): ‘It is He (Allah) Who has created for you the sense of hearing (ears), sight (eyes), and understanding (hearts). Yet, little thanks do you give.’” – Safwan Moosani, Year 12
