The letter below from St Catherine’s College, dated 9 February 2026, is a powerful example of leadership, compassion, and true inclusivity within education.
By recognising the spiritual importance of Ramadan and the physical challenges of fasting, the school has shown genuine care for the well-being of its students. Through offering practical support, encouraging open communication with families, providing a dedicated prayer space, and introducing awareness badges, St Catherine’s has gone above and beyond to ensure that Muslim students feel respected, understood, and supported.
As one of the first schools to take such thoughtful and proactive steps, St Catherine’s College sets an inspiring standard for others to follow.
This initiative deserves real recognition and appreciation, and we sincerely thank the leadership and staff for their commitment to creating a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive environment where every student feels valued.
