Our students have been immersed in learning about various cultures throughout the week. We were treated to a spectacular showcase of talent, culture, and connection at our Primary Multicultural Assembly. From Palestine to the indigenous Australians, Native Americans to Māori each culture was showcased with pride and respect.
Throughout the day, our school turned into a playground of kindness, with stations filled with joy and creativity. From face painting, colouring and kindness jars emphasising the importance of the Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) teaching of kindness and compassion, and today we embodied those values in all our activities.
Parents joined their little scholars in their classrooms, where our dedicated teachers warmly welcomed both students and families.
