Our Year 5/6 Girls team participated in the the AFL Friendly Gala Day, hosted by Merrymede ¾ÞÈéÊÓƵ as part of School Sports Victoria (SSV). Team Captain Sammar Ayoubi from Year 6A kindly provided us with the following recount of her team’s experience:
On Friday, 27 October our Year 5/6 girls team played 5 friendly matches against 5 different schools. Mashallah, the girls were fantastic.
We won 2 games, lost one and drew two more. The first round, we didn’t play that good but we managed to man up in the other 4 rounds. For me, our star player for kicking goals was Ammal Mohamed in Year 6A. One of our players had the best tackle against someone from another school – her name is Khadeejah Islam, also from Year 6A.
It was a really good experience and a very fun one. InShAllah everyone enjoyed it. A thank you to the Sports Department for all your help, and a special thanks to Mr Saleh who helped us a lot especially by coaching us and giving us advice and to Ms Layal even though she couldn’t come she helped the grade 5 and 6 girls train. I hope everyone had a wonderful experience and good luck in the future to the Year 5 girls team.
Daniel Saleh studied Physical Education/ Health at RMIT for 5 years. His interests are being physically active, eating nutritious foods, exploring new sites and learning new things.
Daniel joined Al ¾ÞÈéÊÓƵ Collage in 2012 and has established our Physical Education department. He organised sports days, fundraisers, walk/ride to school days, inviting famous sporting players to Al ¾ÞÈéÊÓƵ and getting involved in interschool sports. He has also started an after school soccer program called "One Ummah, Soccer Academy of Excellence".
He is enthusiastic, energetic, competitive, and a caring and respectful teacher. Daniel promotes appreciation of school among students and to take Physical Education as a privilege of learning in a fun and practical way. The goals, which he strives towards, are to pass on his knowledge to future generations so they can use and apply what they have learnt in school and the future.
When Daniel was at High School, his Physical Education teacher was very highly respected by all students, parents and teachers, and was a great role model, which influenced him to become a Physical Education teacher himself. Creating a safe and positive environment for students to enjoy school and encourage them to always try their best at anything they do is a goal that he will try to accomplish to the best of his ability.
