Al Siraat College invites students in Primary (Years 5-6) & Secondary (Years 7 – 10 & VCE Unit 1 & 2) to our new online campus!
This program is perfect for those with busy schedules or additional commitments such as Hifz programs, competitive sports, or remote/rural living!
Our Year 5 students enjoyed an exciting WildAction incursion today, discovering the wonders of Australian native wildlife through close encounters and hands-on learning.
The session featured an incredible line-up of native animals, including “Lola” the red kangaroo joey, a tawny frogmouth, boobook owl, baby freshwater crocodile, black-headed python, freshwater turtle, green tree frog, tree goanna, shingleback lizard, and “Blossom”, an adult grey-headed flying fox.
One of the highlights was meeting and gently holding a tiny adult mountain pygmy possum – a critically endangered species with only around 2,000 left in the wild.
Through these up-close experiences, students learned about each animal’s classification, adaptations, habitats, and diets, gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges facing Australia’s wildlife. The incursion not only built confidence and curiosity but also inspired our students to become caring advocates for conservation and the environment.
A big thank you to Liv, our engaging and knowledgeable presenter from WildAction, for sharing her expertise and inspiring a love for wildlife among our students.
We are delighted to invite all women to join Her Halaqa, a new spiritual gathering designed for women. This special program is an opportunity to pause from our busy routines, nourish our hearts, and strengthen our connection with Allah and one another.
