In this powerful episode, we reflect on our Interfaith Solidarity Fast—an inspiring evening that brought together over 100 students, staff, and community members. Pupils and teachers from our school and King David High School, a Jewish school, joined in breaking the fast during Ramadan. Many non-Muslim staff and students also fasted in a moving show of unity.

The event celebrated the shared values of the three Abrahamic faiths—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—highlighting the importance of standing together for peace, understanding, and compassion in our city. With moving speeches from students and staff, and funds raised for Sudan through the World Food Programme, this was a night to remember. Hosted by Mr. H, tune in for a heartfelt episode on faith, unity, and hope.
