Founders Welcome

Dear Parents, Staff and Members of Al Salam Family, 

My time at Al Salam School has been a wonderful journey. I have spent 41 amazing years in education and the last 30 years as Headmistress at Al Salam in a constantly changing educational climate. I truly enjoyed working and living in a community that supports education and our young people. 

The school has been and will always play a significant part of my life. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work alongside a fantastic, professional and committed team of staff, and I feel humbled by the fact that parents entrusted their most precious children in our care. I am forever grateful for the positive relationships built with children and families over the years. 

It has been a joy to see so many children grow into successful adults. My biggest pleasure is following the students’ personal progress, development and growth from being a small toddler to fine young adults ready to face the challenges of the outside world. There has certainly never been a dull moment! 

Al Salam has accomplished wonderful things over the years and I still have a vision for Al Salam along with many ideas on how we can continue to enhance the experience of children here. 

I would like to thank and appreciate all the wonderful children who inspire me every day with their amazing knowledge, growth, personalities, sense of humour, and achievements, and to the parents who have always been so supportive of Al Salam School. We will continue to support programmes catering for the wider needs of all students and ensure that students of Determination are actively supported to participate in the joy of learning alongside their age appropriate peers. 

A very special thanks to the outstanding team of Staff that I have had the pleasure to work with over the years – what a journey! 

Sincerely, 

Sue Johnston 

Founder of Al Salam School
