Dear Parents/Caregivers

Assalaamu AlaikumWRWB

 

WATER LEAKAGE in A-BLOCK

The school would like to thank all the parents and caregivers whose child/children have been affected due to a major water-leak in A Block classrooms. Unfortunately due to delay in drying of these classrooms, we have to stay with the current arrangements for few more weeks. In the meanwhile:

  1. We are arranging to get few portable classrooms delivered at our school. This will ease the demand on classrooms.
  2. We will keep you all posted. For further queries you may directly contact the principal on 021675994 or email him on  principal@al-madinah.school.nz
