Assalamualaikum WRB 

Zayed College will be open tomorrow.  

Insha Allah, this message finds you well.

Linley Myers (Commissioner) and I would like to inform you that Zayed College  will be open tomorrow. The police are treating the recent situation with the utmost seriousness, though they currently do not perceive any immediate threat.

The threat was communicated via email along with a video. A preliminary investigation indicates that the video likely originates from the dark web, and the email appears to have been sent from an offshore location outside of New Zealand. Tracing the original source may take several weeks but it is considered a serious, ongoing investigation.

Starting tomorrow morning, the police will increase patrols on Westney Road and maintain a presence during the opening and closing times of both Zayed College and Al Madinah School. However, due to resource limitations, they will not be able to station officers directly at the school. Based on the assurance provided by the police, we believe it is safe for the school to operate as scheduled. Our community constable, Priscilla, and I will be at the front of the school to provide reassurance and ensure that the environment is welcoming for our students. The school gates will be locked throughout the day.

Jazak Allah Khairan for your patience and cooperation as we navigated this challenging situation.  

Wassalam
Ust Linley and Ust Regina

Salaams Parents and Students 

Just to let you know that the school is now closed today and all students and staff are safely away. A very big thanks to the staff involved for their calm and responsive support. My gratitude to Ust Nahla for her strong leadership in this worrying matter. 

I will update you later today on plans for tomorrow when we know more. 

Warm regards,
Linley Myers, Commissioner.
