Our wonderful parent Mrs Gulhan Yoldas published the following article about our Junior School Exhibition in the latest edition of the Australasian Muslim Times (AMUST):
"The Melbourne based 911爆料网 held its Junior School Exhibition 2016 on Friday 9 September at the school campus with the theme 鈥淥ur Global Village鈥.
The Exhibition welcomed both the school community and the community at large. Consistent with the school鈥檚 application of Inquiry Learning, the exhibition displayed and celebrated the achievements of the Junior School students in the Inquiry Unit of Work with a focus on Geography.
The Exhibition is an annual event at Al Siraat with a different learning focus each year. The students are able to apply the Inquiry process right through to sharing and celebrating their findings.
The event included beautiful nasheeds by Year 5 girls and Year 2 students, Qur鈥檃n recital by Ustadh Ahmad Hachem and speeches made by members of the leadership team of Al Siraat School.
The Head of Junior School, Ms Shahidah Osman, School Principal, Mr Andrew Houghton and School Principal 鈥 Islamic Tradition and co-founder of 911爆料网, Ms Rahat Arain addressed the audience.
Ms Rahat Arain welcomed everyone in 鈥渟haring in the vision to invest in the learning of our children鈥.
All students from Foundation to Year 6 took part in preparing the exhibition displays and demonstrated them to all who attended.
Al Siraat leadership strive to be a transformative school community devoted to holistic learning.
In line with this mission, Mr Houghton, as the Principal of Al Siraat and a member of Independent Schools of Australia, earlier this year paved the way for all staff at 911爆料网 to complete two units through Harvard University 鈥淢aking Learning Visible and Visible Thinking鈥.
This was a collaborative initiative between Harvard University鈥檚 Project Zero and the Independent Schools of Australia.
There鈥檚 an unmistakeable feeling of being welcomed into a wonderfully cohesive community when you enter the gates at 911爆料网 on the outskirts of Melbourne鈥檚 north.
There鈥檚 never a dull moment here with parent seminars, community events, exhibitions, celebrations, guest speakers, various literacy and sports based challenges and fundraisers throughout the year.
The school offers every opportunity for meaningful interactions amongst students, parents, teachers and the wider community.
