Al-Ala International Islamic School
Why they call me the pen
A true story that happens about twice a day.
Five minutes before the test.
“Here. Keep it, I’ve got more.”
Somehow this became my whole reputation.
Polling day. Mark the pen.
Three things I’ll actually do
Small, useful, and done. Not big speeches that go nowhere.
Just ask me
Stuck, lost, forgot something, or got an idea? Ask me. I’ll keep an open half hour every week and a box for anyone who’d rather write it down, and I’ll carry every good idea to the Head Boy and the teachers who can make it happen.
Help things happen
More student-run clubs, more house events, and a spare pair of hands for any teacher organising something. If you’ve got an idea for an event, come to me and I’ll help you get it off the ground.
Look after the new kids
A buddy for every new student in their first week, so nobody eats lunch alone or turns up late because they couldn’t find the room. I’ll check in on them myself, not just hand out a name and forget.
So who is this guy?
I’m Muhammad bin Asad, and I’m standing for Deputy Head Boy at Al-Ala International Islamic School.
I’m not going to stand up and promise to fix everything. What I will do is be useful. Turn up early, stay late, help whoever needs it, and take your ideas to the Head Boy and the teachers so they don’t get lost between the bell and the bus.
Our teachers already do a lot for us. A good deputy makes their job easier, not harder — and makes sure every student knows there’s someone to ask.
