Dear Parents and Guardians,

Salaamun Alaykum!

We would like to welcome you to our new Academic Year 2016. Please read through our updates below carefully.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Madressa Starts  
Insh'Allah Madressa will begin Sunday 17th January, 2016.

Students at Kenmore (Classes 1-4) will start with Registration at 10:00AM

Students at Stanmore (Classes 5-12) will begin at 10:00AM.
 
 
 
 
 
   
How our Classes are Labeled for 2016  

Due to our new minimum age intake policy (see here) we have NO new intake of class 1. As such, all classes will move up as usual and we will only have classes 2-13.

However for labelling purposes we will reset the class numbers from 1 so the new class range will be 1-12.

Therefore, if your child was in class 1 in 2015 they will again be in class 1 2016 BUT will be studying the syllabus of class 2 and so forth. This is purely a labeling logistic and parents are requested not to be concerned when seeing their child’s class to be the same as 2015.

Please Note: Students in class 4 in 2015 will remain in Kenmore in 2016. However Class 5 Boys that was in Kenmore in 2015 will now move to Stanmore Location.

If you are not sure what class your child is in, please log on to your Parent Portal and see your child(ren)'s student profile
