🌟 Rissalah College Parent Information Sessions 🌟
Over the past two weeks, Rissalah College was delighted to host three important Parent Information Sessions in our school hall, supporting our students and families as they prepare for the next stages of their educational journey.
📚 Year 8 → Stage 5
🎓 Year 10 → Stage 6
🌟 Year 11 → Year 12
We were thrilled with the wonderful turnout at each session. It was truly heartening to see so many of our supportive and engaged parents present. Your involvement and commitment make such a positive difference to our students and their educational journey. 💙
Our Principal, Deputy Principal, Assistant Principals and Heads of Department were all in attendance, providing valuable information and guidance and taking the time to answer parents’ questions, address concerns and provide clarity around the important transitions ahead.
The sessions were a wonderful opportunity for families to learn more about academic expectations, subject selections, pathways, upcoming opportunities and how we can work together to support our students to reach their full potential.
And, of course, no gathering is complete without some time to connect and enjoy each other’s company! ☕🍪 Light refreshments were enjoyed by all, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for parents to meet, connect with staff and share in the Rissalah College community spirit.
At Rissalah College, we firmly believe that strong partnerships between our school, students and families are at the heart of student success. 🤝
A heartfelt thank you to all our parents for making the time to attend, for your thoughtful questions and for your continued support of our College and, most importantly, your children.
Together, we continue to inspire, support and empower our students as they take the next steps towards a successful and bright future. 🌱📚✨

💙 Anti-Bullying Day 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

Last week, our students came together to celebrate kindness, inclusion and standing up against bullying.

K–4 students decorated superhero capes, while Years 5–6 created colourful caps. Our High School students brought scenarios to life through role-plays for our Primary students, helping them explore how to respond to bullying and support others.

To finish, K–6 students each created a link with a positive message, joining together to form a kindness chain. 🔗💙

A wonderful day reminding us that every act of kindness makes a difference!

Preparing for the Years Ahead at Rissalah College

Today, Rissalah College had the pleasure of hosting two important HSC Parent Information Sessions for our families as we prepare our students for the senior years of their education.

During the day, we welcomed our Year 10 students and their parents as they prepare to transition into Year 11 and begin their HSC journey. We also welcomed our Year 11 students and their parents as they prepare to enter Year 12 and undertake their 2027 HSC.

Both sessions provided families with valuable information about the expectations, requirements and assessments ahead, as well as the importance of preparation, commitment and a strong partnership between home and school.

At Rissalah College, we believe that the journey towards the HSC is about much more than academic achievement. It is about nurturing confident, resilient and well-rounded young people and supporting them every step of the way.

A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated staff for their time, knowledge and commitment, and to our wonderful parents for their attendance, trust and continued support. Your partnership means so much to us and plays an important role in the success of our students.

To our Year 10 and Year 11 students, we are excited for all that lies ahead and look forward to supporting you throughout these important years.

Umrah Mubarak Dinner

Alhamdulillah, it was a great honour for Rissalah College to host a special Umrah Mubarak Dinner celebrating our wonderful students and staff who were blessed with the opportunity to perform Umrah this year.

It was a beautiful evening of reflection, gratitude and celebration, as we came together to honour this deeply meaningful journey and the spiritual experience it brings.

A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated staff and our amazing students for allowing us to share in this special occasion. We are also sincerely grateful to our School Board and our Chairman, whose continued support, guidance and commitment make this journey possible and ensure that, year after year, the Umrah experience remains so memorable and meaningful for our school community.

ONE COMMUNITY. ONE FAMILY. ONE BEAUTIFUL LEGACY.

Last week, we shared with our Rissalah College community the heartbreaking news that four of our beautiful students had recently lost their beloved mother to cancer.

In her honour, we set out on a mission—not simply to raise funds, but to create a lasting **Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity)** in her name and ensure that her legacy of love and goodness continues to live on.

And what happened next was truly extraordinary.

Our students, staff, SRC, and incredible parent community came together as one family. Everyone played a part. Every contribution, every act of kindness, every donation and every effort came together to turn a vision into something truly meaningful.

Together, we raised an incredible $13,000.

And today, we are honoured and humbled to share that the four girls were able to purchase a mosque in their beloved mother’s name, creating a lasting source of reward and blessing for her, insha’Allah.

Our Chairman, Mr Imad El Masri further demonstrated his generosity and commitment to our community by contributing the additional funds required to complete the purchase of the mosque.

This is so much more than a fundraiser…

It is a testament to what can happen when a community stands together during someone’s darkest moment.

It is about compassion.
It is about faith.
It is about supporting one another.
And most importantly, it is about leaving a legacy of الخير (goodness) that continues long after we are gone.

I could not be more proud of our Rissalah College community. Our staff, students, SRC and parents have once again shown that Rissalah is not just a school—it is a family❤️

To everyone who contributed, supported, donated, encouraged or simply shared in this journey, thank you. You have helped turn grief into a beautiful legacy.

May Allah ﷻ accept this Sadaqah Jariyah on behalf of their mother, shower her with mercy, elevate her rank, fill her grave with light, and grant her the highest place in Jannatul Firdaus.

And may Allah ﷻ reward every single person who contributed to this beautiful cause.

A mother’s legacy will now live on through every prayer, every act of worship and every moment of الخير that takes place in this mosque.
