The position requires you to complete a training programme with the Exam Centre Manager (ECM) during September or October. There may be an additional training session related to the management of digital examination. Supervisors may be required to complete a range of administrative tasks to assist with planning and preparation for the examination period.

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu,

This is a friendly reminder that our N4L network upgrade is taking place from Monday 24 August to Thursday 27 August. During this time, the school internet may be unavailable for part or all of the school day including our phone system.

Unfortunately, no internet does not mean no school! We are confident that we can all survive a few hours without Wi-Fi, and perhaps even rediscover the ancient art of using paper and pens! 

Students are expected to attend school as usual and teaching and learning will continue according to the normal timetable. Teachers have alternative, paper-based resources and activities prepared to ensure that learning continues effectively.

The school landline will also be redirected to designated school mobile phones, so we will remain contactable and able to manage any urgent matters.

We appreciate the support of our parents and whānau in ensuring that students continue to attend school regularly during this period.

Jazakum Allah khairan for your understanding and continued support.

Wassalaam,

Nazmeen Ahmad

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

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.
