Dear Parents/Guardians,

Assalamu Alaykum WRWB,

Welcome students and parents to Term 4. This is

perhaps the busiest and the shortest Term of the

academic school year. There are many academic,

sporting and co-curricular events scheduled

culminating with the examinations, reports and

presentations across the three campuses (see below).

Yearly examinations have commenced for Year 10

students and Years 7-9 will begin their examinations on

Monday, 11th November.

World Teachers’ Day

The aim of World Teacher’s Day is to emphasise the

significant role of teachers world wide. Our teachers

play a crucial part in our society as they guide, nurture

and teach our children …. our present, our future. This

momentous occasion was celebrated across all

campuses with morning teas. So a huge thank you to

all the wonderful, dedicated and hardworking teachers

af Malek Fahd Islamic School. Thank you to our

Wellbeing, SRC and Admin team for the organisation of

the scrumptious morning teas.
