Spiritual Saturday 2014

Following the success of our annual Spiritual Saturday programme which took place during the holidays, please find attached herewith pictures of our current students, ex students, staff and governors who volunteered at the event.

For those of you that may not be aware, we established the 'Madani Leadership Programme' in late 2012 to provide our students with the opportunity to volunteer at school and community events to enhance their sense of responsibility, leadership, confidence and improving their communication skills by connecting with the wider community more often to help them prepare for life during and after Madani. Furthermore, the programme was also introduced so that ex students were able to benefit for the exact same reasons stated above along with knowing that volunteering at such events gives them an opportunity to maintain ties with the school.

I kindly request parents to give positive feedback to their child for their outstanding efforts. We will insha’Allah, take everyone involved for a meal in the near future for their hard work and commitment.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Maulana Abdul Hameed for giving a inspirational speech for the youth on the day. As always, I thank staff members Bilal Ghodawala (ICT), Maariyah Aboobaker (ESS), Mohammed Karim (Lunch) and Hawa (Head Chef) for helping me prepare for this event. A big thank you to Mohammed Rayaz (P.E) for helping me with coordination throughout the day, and lastly, a special thank you to Mohammed Ebrahim (P.E) who continuously takes his time out to help the Federation at major events.
