Dear Parents/Caregivers

Assalaamu Alaikum WRWB

Principal’s Message

Alhamdolillah, we had a very good Ijtima.  Jazaakallahu Khairan to all the staff, students, parents/caregivers and community members for your support in the preparation for the Ijtema; building the tent and participation.  We would also like to thank the female staff, parents and caregivers who cooked and sent snacks, puri, roti etc during the Ijtima.

Furthermore, Alhamdolillah the school has been given a clean audit opinion for our 2023 Annual Financial Report, by our school Auditor. A copy will be made available on the school website.

Lastly Eid-Ul-Adha will be held on Tuesday 18 June and the school will be closed for the day.  On behalf of the school staff and the board, I wish a happy Eid to you all.
