Events and Excursions
RATIONALE
Salamah College is a comprehensive co-educational K – 8, school offering education underpinned by Islamic values and operating within the requirements of the BOS. The purpose of this document is to assist the School in providing and implementing a step-by-step application and enrolment process which provides a transparent and consistent reference point to both those seeking enrolment and those responsible for enrolment at the school. All applications will be processed in order of receipt and consideration will be given to the applicant’s support for the ethos of the school, siblings already attending the school and other criteria determined by the school from time to time. Once enrolled, students are expected to support the school’s ethos and comply with the school rules to maintain the enrolment.
School Events
Celebrating Achievements, Community & Faith
At Salamah College, the School Events plays a vital role in bringing the school community together through meaningful and well-organised events. Every event is designed to reflect and uphold the values and ethos of Salamah College, fostering a sense of unity, academic excellence, promoting cultural awareness and spiritual growth.
From fundraisers and religious observances to academic assemblies and graduation ceremonies, our events serve as opportunities for students, staff, and families to connect, celebrate, and reflect on the values that shape our school community.
Fostering A Sense of Community Through Fundraising & Giving
Fundraising is an important cause to foster a culture of gratitude and generosity as well as strengthen the bonds within our school community. These initiatives encourage students to:
- Engage in acts of charity, reflecting the Islamic principle of giving (Sadaqah)
- Develop a sense of responsibility towards those in need
- Work collaboratively, reinforcing teamwork and community engagement

Religious Islamic events hold a special place in the school calendar, allowing students to deepen their connection to their faith. These special occasions are celebrated to encourage:

By organising Islamic events such as Ramadan celebrations, Eid gatherings, and Islamic awareness programs, we create an environment where faith and education go hand in hand. These experiences help students challenge stereotypes, promote unity, and embrace the beauty of their Islamic traditions.
