Al Siraat College is thrilled to announce that Osama Akkad, serving as the College Captain, was honoured as one of the 8 VCE student leaders in the state. This achievement stands as a testament to his exceptional leadership qualities and exemplary contributions.
The VCE Leadership Awards are a platform to acknowledge the vital and innovative community work of VCE and VCE Vocational Major students. These awards highlight instances of outstanding leadership in various domains. Nominees are actively engaged in a spectrum of activities ranging from arts, sports, debating, and public speaking to advocating for social justice, environmental protection, or fundraising.
The award presentation was graced by the presence of Minister for Education and Minister for Women, The Hon. Natalie Hutchins, who recognised and appreciated the exceptional achievements of these student leaders. This recognition serves as motivation for the future, inspiring students to continue their impactful work within the community.
