We are delighted to introduce our newly elected 2025 College Captains, Aaliya Farah (Girls) and Amaar Hamida (Boys), alongside their Vice-Captains, Nusayr Sultan (Girls) and Farhan Abid (Boys), to the Al Siraat community.
These outstanding students will represent both the Student Representative Council (SRC) and Al Siraat College, upholding our values, good name, and honour. Their appointments were announced at the Year 12 Farewell and Secondary Awards Assembly in October, met with enthusiastic applause and celebration from their peers.
As Jack Welch famously said, "Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others." We are confident that Aaliya, Amaar, Nusayr, and Farhan will embody this principle, continuing to build on the high standards set by their predecessors. We eagerly anticipate working with them throughout 2025.
We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to our 2024 College Captains, Areeba Bilal and Mohammad Awwady, for their dedication and exceptional leadership. Their contributions have been invaluable, and we wish them every success in their future endeavours.

These experiences have allowed me to grow as a leader and have instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility towards our school community. Inspired by the words of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), "The best among you are those who bring the most benefit to others", I aim to lead with humility, compassion, and dedication.
Leadership Vision and Goals:
My vision is to create an environment where every student feels valued, heard, and motivated to succeed. I aim to foster inclusivity, promote academic growth, and encourage participation in extracurricular activities. By building connections between students and promoting mutual respect, I hope to create a supportive and inspiring environment where everyone feels empowered to succeed. I will work hard to represent the interests of my peers and ensure that our school community thrives.

As the Boys' College Captain of Al Siraat College, I am honoured to lead our school community and uphold the values that define us as a vibrant Islamic school.
From my involvement in various school activities to engaging in community service, I have always sought to embody the principles of our faith - respect, compassion, and the pursuit of knowledge. I am passionate about fostering a culture of mutual support, where students are encouraged to grow spiritually, academically, and personally.
Leadership Vision and Goals:
My vision is to create an environment where every student feels that they are part of a brotherhood united by faith and purpose. In line with the teachings of Islam, I believe in leading through service and humility, as the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The best of people are those who are most beneficial to others." My goal is to ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive, contribute, and make a positive impact on our school and the wider community.
I also aim to enhance opportunities for student leadership and encourage involvement in both religious and extracurricular activities. By promoting initiatives that reflect our Islamic values, such as charity projects, Islamic Halaqas, and academic excellence, I hope to strengthen our sense of unity and pride in who we are.
As Allah (SWT) says in the Qur’an, "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression" (Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:2). This verse inspires me to work together with my peers to build a school culture rooted in respect, kindness, and the pursuit of knowledge for the sake of Allah.
I look forward to leading with sincerity and commitment, encouraging my fellow students to embrace the best version of themselves, guided by the values of Islam.

Being elected as the 2025 College Vice Captain is truly an honour that I wholeheartedly embrace. My journey at Al Siraat College, which began in primary school, has been rich with invaluable lessons that have shaped me into the Muslim and leader I am today.
My experiences as an interfaith ambassador, along with my volunteer work and active participation in various school events, have ignited a deep passion for service and leadership within me. These opportunities have taught me the significance of empathy, teamwork, and resilience, which are qualities I believe are essential for effective leadership. Just like how Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “The best among you is those who bring the most benefit to others.” I intend on applying these lessons in my role as Vice-Captain by actively supporting my fellow students and fellow captains.
Leadership Vision and Goals:
My vision is to create an inclusive environment where every student feels encouraged to express their ideas and step into leadership positions. I aim to strengthen peer relationships, improve communication between students and staff, and advocate for mental health initiatives within our school. Additionally, I want to inspire students to stay motivated in their education and foster a deeper connection to their faith. By providing support and resources, I hope to empower each individual to pursue their goals, excel academically, and grow spiritually. Through this, I firmly believe that by collaborating and supporting one another, we can accomplish amazing things and create a lasting positive influence on our school community.
