The schools annual Athletics Day will take place on Friday 15 May at the Trust Stadium in Waitakere. 

This is a whole school event where all students are expected to take part. If your child cannot participate in sports for valid reasons, they are still expected to attend and support their team in other ways. Please note that all staff members will be at Athletics therefore no supervision is available in school.

Athletics is a compulsory school day and normal attendance procedures apply. Permission slips have been shared with parents, please fill it out asap if you havent received the form (check your spam) then please contact Ust Manalia  manalian@zayedcollege.school.nz. Return as soon as possible. We encourage whānau to support their child in attending fully prepared and ready to take part in the day’s activities. 

As a school, we value opportunities that allow our students to grow beyond the classroom and represent the school in a positive and supportive environment. Athletics Day is also an opportunity for students to demonstrate encouragement, perseverance and good sportsmanship.

As a Special Character Muslim school, the Qur’an is at the heart of who we are and what we strive to nurture in our students. Allah Subhana wa TaÁla reminds us in the Holy Qur’an:

"...And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression..." (Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:2)

This cooperation extends to the way we support our students in their journey of faith.

It was disappointing to see the low attendance at today's Qur’an Competition Semi-Finals, especially considering the dedication, courage and hard work our students put into preparing and representing our school. Supporting these events is not just about the competition; it is a vital way we uplift one another, building confidence, a deeper love for the Qur’an and a true sense of sisterhood. Even if you are not competing, your presence is a form of encouragement that strengthens our entire community.

The Qur’an Competition Finals will take place next week, and we expect all students to be in full attendance unless there are exceptional circumstances. Let us come together as a school community to honor and celebrate our students’ efforts and the special character values we hold so dearly.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
