This term, Al Falaah College, together with the Sweet Hearts Foundation, embarked on a meaningful recycling campaign to collect bottle caps, bread tags and soda tabs.

What may seem like small items can make a big impact. Through this initiative, our learners and school community have been learning that simple everyday actions, such as recycling, can contribute towards making a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

The collected recyclable materials are being used to raise funds towards sponsoring a wheelchair for someone in need. This project has provided our learners with an opportunity to learn about environmental responsibility while also developing compassion, generosity and a sense of community.

For our final Primary School assembly this Heritage month, Al-Falaah Airlines took our learners on a fun-filled journey through the sights, sounds, cultures and traditions of South Africa!

Instead of simply standing in front of our learners and telling them about Heritage Day, our teachers were put in the hot seat! Each teacher received a boarding pass featuring a South African sports team/national symbol and became a “First Class Passenger” in our South African Alphabet Challenge. When their team was called, they raced to the front, raised their South African flag and battled it out to give an answer for the letter on the screen.

Six enthusiastic Grade 4 to 6 learners have stepped back in time and embraced the exciting Local History Passbook Competition.

As part of the challenge, the learners visited three local history museums in Durban, where they explored stories, people and places. The journey did not end at the museum doors — the learners were also challenged to complete a creative project. With entries closing on 31 August, these young historians demonstrated curiosity and a genuine appreciation for the history that surrounds them.

We are incredibly proud of our learners and wish them the very best in the competition:

Grade 4 – Muhammad Akoob & Azhara Rasool

Grade 5 – Asma Bapekee

Grade 6 – Sumayyah Vahed, Zahra Khan & Faatimah Moolla

Learners from the Foundation and Intermediate Phase were inspired by an interesting, informative talk from the Bergtheil Museum. The museum curator visited the school and spoke to the learners about the history of Heritage Day and local history museums in Durban.

She explained how Heritage Day got its name and shared the history behind the day. Learners enjoyed discovering more about South Africa’s rich cultural heritage — it was a valuable learning experience.
