If you can or know any kaumatua/elderly or anyone from our cultural groups (Arabs, Bangladeshi, Afghani, Fijian, Indian, Pakistani, Somali, etc) who can share valuable knowledge and skills about the history of our cultural sports and Art (preferably food) with teachers of other schools and how things have changed and why.

Attendance and Punctuality 

All students are to be in school on time before the morning dua at 8.30am. APs and Principal will be following up with the students in the office who are constantly coming late.

STUDENTS SHOULD NOT BE MISSING SCHOOL WITHOUT VALID REASON. This leads to their studies being affected when they miss school and/or leave early during the day.

ACADEMIC PROGRESS

Students need to spend some time in all their subjects besides just doing homework in order to help improve their academic progress at large.

GALA Day

Jazaakallahu Khairan to all the parents, caregivers and community members for the support, participation, and donation towards our school gala day. We are expecting a net profit of over $10,000.00 which will be used as subsidy towards the school camps. Upon suggestions from the Student Councils, the school intends to hold another Gala Day this year.

TERM BREAK

The school finishes for term 1 on Thursday 6th April at 2.30pm.
