I am the new principal of Taqwa School. Alhamdulillah, I am very excited and privileged to be part of the Taqwa School community whom I keenly look forward to serving in sha Allah. I extend my warm welcome to the Taqwa school community and the Canberra Muslim community at large and implore you to come on board in any capacity and help the school move forward. Indeed, there are many challenges ahead, which we shall tackle together as a community in sha Allah. My aim is always to work together with our students, staff, parents and the school’s Board of Directors to make Taqwa School the best school it can be and prepare our youth for future challenges and endeavours. Families have Alhamdulillah been quick to appreciate the benefits of our community school, which offers Islamic and Arabic Studies along with student-centered individual and collaborative learning. My commitment to our community is to lead the school with a clear vision for the future which should always place student learning at the forefront of decision making. We aspire to continue to develop and enhance our school that: reflects the values of our community focusses on the religious, intellectual, physical and creative development of each child strives for the highest academic standards involves the community in learning develops relationships through communication and reflection. I have an open-door policy and urge all parents to take the opportunity to discuss any issues with me so that we can move forward together. Taqwa School is academic excellence, inclusive and forward thinking.
