I begin by wishing you all Khushali Mubarak on this auspicious day of the Birth Anniversary of Lady Zainab (SA).
A few weeks into the new academic year and into the NEW HOME I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of all SIM Volunteers, to extend my sincere gratitude to all parents/guardians for the support, encouragement & patience that you have shown during the immense transition to the new site which showed us many opportunities but where we also faced a few challenges in initially settling in.
We are working on a weekly basis to ensure efficiency in our logistics and needless to say, it will take time before we are all settled in the running of Madressa at the new site.
With the new site, we hope to see many opportunities and enhancements, Insh'Allah. In addition to having a state-of-the-art learning environment, we can now also optimise our resources by having the whole Madressa in one location.
I am also pleased to advise that the extensive waiting list we had of over 100 children has now been eliminated with the move!
With our aim to make this a community hub, we already have Stanmore Jafferys Fitness running their Sunday class in the sport hall and there are further plans to extend activities and offer classes to parents/guardians on various topics such as spiritual growth, well-being, beliefs etc. Watch out for these initiatives via our weekly communications and our website.
Your continued support and understanding is much appreciated, and as parental contribution is essential, I welcome and encourage your constructive feedback of improvements that can benefit us all.
I humbly request you to pray, in the name of Lady Zainab (AS), for the continued success of our Madressa and our children, who are not only the future of our community but ambassadors of the teachings of Ahlul Bayt (AS) especially in such times when we face so many challenges on account of our faith.
With Duas,
Sajjad Govani
SIM Principal
A Reminder of Timely Arrival
We thank parents for maintaining timely arrival at the Madressa, however we still see quite a few late drop-offs. Please ensure your children are dropped on time.
Reminder: Pick-Up at Madressa
It is important that parents/guardians are aware of the drop-off and pick-up policy for their child(ren) for safeguarding. Please click here to view the drop-off and pick-up policy.
Supervision of students when parents are late
We understand that in some cases parents will have children at different gates to collect. Students (Classes 1-7 only) will be supervised up to 15 minutes after the end of class time, giving parents sufficient time to collect their children.
Parents will then have to go to the reception via the Main Entrance and approach the administrative member on duty of late pick-up.
