The ceremony opened with a recitation from the Noble Qur’an, followed by a naat recital. Staff members and league supervisors then reflected on the commitment, brotherhood and sportsmanship demonstrated by the students during the league.

PARENTS’ EVENING AT STI SCHOOL

“Each of you is like a shepherd, responsible for those under your care.” (Hadith)

A sincere thank you to all the parents and families who attended our Parents’ Evening at STI School. We were thrilled by the turnout and truly appreciate the time you dedicated to discussing your child’s progress, development, and goals.

At STI School, we believe a child’s education thrives when families and teachers collaborate towards a common purpose. Our experience shows that students who make the most progress are often those whose parents actively participate in their learning and work with mosque tutors to nurture both academic success and Islamic morals.

Your support at home, together with our dedicated staff’s guidance, builds a strong foundation for our children to develop knowledge, confidence, and good character.

May Allah Ta’ala bless all our students with beneficial knowledge, righteous deeds, and success in this life and the Hereafter. We pray that He rewards our parents and staff generously for their efforts. Ameen.

REMEMBERING KARBALA

Earlier this week, students and staff at STI School came together to hold a special assembly to reflect on the powerful and historic story of Karbala and the struggle of Syeduna Imam Hussain and his family for truth and justice against evil and falsehood, رضی اللہ تعالی عنھم اجمعین.

The assembly emphasised key lessons from the event of Karbala, including courage, patience, faith, sacrifice, and compassion, lessons that continue to inspire people worldwide today.

The assembly also highlighted other key events that occurred during the sacred month of Muharram to help students better understand its significance in Islamic history.

STI SCHOOL WELCOMES THE NEW ISLAMIC YEAR 1448 AH 🌙✨
