Staff of Al Ghazali College
Mr Suleman Khan
Principal of Al Ghazali CollegeEmail: [email protected]
I have had the privilege and honour of leading a public and private school – two vastly different schools, one materially disadvantaged and the other well-resourced. In the influential position of school principal, I have always seen myself as someone who would create a school environment that is supportive and responsive to the academic and emotional needs of every child. It has always been my belief that schools should serve as catalyst in making a difference to the life of every child.
My vision is premised on a commitment to “excellence and success for all learners”.
