As-salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu,

I hope you are all keeping well and staying warm during this cold weather.

Next week, on Friday, 28 August, we will be finishing school early as the majority of our teachers will be attending an Assessment for Learning PLD from 1:00 pm.

Students may be picked up from 1:00 pm. They will have an early lunch break at 12:00 noon, followed by Salaah, in shaa Allah.

Students who are unable to be picked up at 1:00 pm will remain at school and be supervised until the normal finishing time of 2:30 pm.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and sincerely appreciate your understanding and support.

Warm regards,
Ustada Nazmeen Ahmed

A self motivated opportunity for year 9 and 10 students interested in Engineering. 

We’re excited to share opportunities from the Women in Engineering Network (WEN) about their outreach workshops which are fantastic way for junior students to build strong social connections while exploring engineering in a fun, supportive, and creative environment.
The network is led by current women in engineering student volunteers (WEN Leaders) and seeks to build connections between women interested in, studying and practicing engineering.

 

Join the Women in Engineering Network Outreach team for a fun, hands-on STEM workshop. 

Come along to design and laser cut your own acrylic nightstand! Hear from current engineering students and create something inspirational to take home!

Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

Please be advised that Brother Wahid, our School Groundskeeper is away until Monday next week which means the school gates and school grounds will not open until 8:00am or when the earliest teacher arrives.

We kindly ask parents and caregivers to please take note of the 8:00am opening time and make the necessary arrangements for their daughters.

Students who arrive before 8:00am are asked to wait in the designated shelter area until the gates open. 

JazakAllahu Khairan for your understanding and cooperation.
