Due consideration needs to be given in the manner in which we dispose of such material. Abu Huraira (ra) reported Allah's Messenger (pbuh) as saying: When it is the month of Ramadan, the gates of mercy are opened, and the gates of Hell are locked and the devils are chained. [Sahih Muslim] 1 1 1 2 2 4 4 7 8 9 11 Aisha (ra) once asked the Prophet (pbuh), “If I find Laylatul Qadr, what Dua should I recite?” The Prophet (pbuh) replied: 12 14 ّٰ ف َع ِّن ُّ ك َع ُف ٌّو ُُِت ُ ب ال َْع ْف َو فَا ْع َ َّاَللّ ُه َّم إِن 16 17 “O Allah!

It will be said, „Where are those who used to observe fasts?' They will get up, and none except them will enter through it. After their entry the gate will be closed and nobody will enter through it." [alBukhari] Narrated Abu Huraira (ra): The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Whoever established prayers on the night of Qadr out of sincere faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven; and whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith, and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven." [al-Bukhari] A CALLER TO WA R D S S U C C E S S Ramadan School Timings Firstly, Ramadan Mubarak to everyone. May ALLAH (SWT) make us of those who reap the maximum benefit from this blessed month. Ameen. July 16, 2014 School Reports Once again the end of another term has approached us quickly. All students will receive their Semester 1 reports during the school holidays in the mail.

Student reports bring mixed feelings for parents. Pleasure and pride if they are performing well but considerable angst when children are not progressing as you hoped.

Instead look for individual progress. indicates that effort is below standard, then you have something to work on. If your child is putting in the required effort, then you cannot ask any more than that, regardless of the grading. Broaden your focus away from academic performance to form a picture of your child‟s progress as a member of a social setting. How your child gets along with his or her peers will influence his happiness and well-being, as well as give an indicator to his future. The skills of independence and co-operation are highly valued by employers so don‟t dismiss these as unimportant. Are you willing to safeguard your child‟s Take note of student selfself-esteem rather than deflate it? Self- assessment. Kids are generally very confidence is a pre-requisite for learning, so be prepared to be as positive and encouraging as possible. School reports come in different formats.

Regardless of the format school reports should provide you with an idea of your child‟s progress in all subject areas, their attitude and social development. honest and will give a realistic assessment of their progress. They are generally very perceptive so take note of their opinions. Discuss the report with your son or daughter talking about strengths first before looking at areas that need improvement. Ask for their opinion about how they performed and discuss their concerns. 3 A CALLER TO WA R D S S U C C E S S After reports are read and discussed celebrate your child‟s efforts with a special activity or treat. In this way you will recognise progress and improvement. July 16, 2014 students learnt about include „setting long term and short term goals‟, „realistic and unrealistic goals‟, „overcoming distractions‟, „making a list of important tasks to complete‟ and „using a checklist to tick off tasks that have been completed.‟ One period per week is allocated to YCDI every term. Apart from lessons in class, each grade last term took turns during Friday assemblies to do a presentation on the theme of „organisation‟.

Science buddies were organized by pairing up older students with younger ones so that they may demonstrate to them simple experiments and show them that science can be both simple and fun. Here are some samples of the work prepared by students: Here the grade 6A students are distributed amongst the grade 3s. Here the grade 5 students are distributed amongst the grade 2s.

[Ms Subhani] 11 A CALLER TO WA R D S S U C C E S S July 16, 2014 Secondary Boys’ Camp On the 2nd of June we went on camp to Phillip Island. It was as an amazing experience and I‟m not even sure where to start. So I guess I should start from the beginning. From the moment we entered the bus the fun had already started. By the first hour of our journey the fog started to roll in. The view was amazing especially when we were near the ocean. With the fog and waves hitting the rocks to form white foam, the scene was absolutely breathtaking. When we arrived at the camp site we were greeted by a nice young man who briefed us about the things we should and shouldn‟t do. Soon after we were in our cabins and luckily for our group we had the best cabin. After we had taken our luggage into our cabins our first rotation started. First we had beach volleyball which was absolutely amazing; we played beach volleyball the whole time. We were supposed to play soccer during the second half of the rotation but we were so stoked on our game we didn‟t even want to play the best game in the world! After we completed our rotation we did our prayers and just chilled in our cabins. Thereafter we had a group activity wherein all the groups came together and played games we had never really played before. Then, we did our prayers and we just chilled in our cabins. Soon after we had our dinner and did our Isha prayers we just hanged around our cabins. We were talking about scary stories and also played a bit of Uno with Ustaz Zaid Boyd. In the next few hours lights were put out and we had to go to sleep and no one from our cabin complained. The next day we woke up early, did our prayers and rested in our cabins again. Breakfast was made at around 9:30 and soon thereafter we had our first rotation of the day. We went surfing, which was not all that bad. However, it was just too cold for some people to surf so they decided to leave early. After surfing we had archery which was yet another great activity, archery is all about luck! I call it the „lucksman‟, though some think archery isn‟t really about luck, it‟s more about skill. After archery we had a competition between all the groups, it was like a mini-Olympics. First we were racing; we had to get a stick from the ground which was placed in a line while we were about 30m away from it. There 12 A CALLER TO WA R D S S U C C E S S July 16, 2014 was less sticks then players so each time around half the players got out. In total there were around 5 rounds and each time half the players got out. Finally at the end 2 players were left, Sherry and I and at the end I had gotten the stick and made my class proud. The next thing was „fill the barrel‟; as the barrel had many holes in it so most of the players had to cover it while some players filled the barrel. We were winning at first then one of the other groups caught up and bet us. After that was tug of war in we dominated the other team. Soon enough we were back at the camp site, doing our prayers and having dinner and then going to the campfire. It was really dark; almost pitch black until we got the fire going. Once the fire got going we told horror stories. All the teachers had told us stories that had happened to them or was told to them. It was crazy; it was also cold so almost all of us were shivering from the cold as well as from the stories. The next day was our departure day; we prayed our morning prayers then had breakfast. We later then had to clean our rooms and pack our bags. After we had packed our bags we went for our last rotation which was mountain biking. Mountain biking was all about competition mainly between Syed, Ustaz Zaid and myself. We weren‟t allowed to overtake but we did anyway. It was tiring as well as fun. Going downhill was amazing as the wind just whizzed in our faces making it pretty fun. After we had mountain biking we had our lunch and it was time to leave. We all had a fun time there and those who didn‟t come missed out on a lot!!!

Library staff wish Ramadan Mubarak to all staff members, students and parents. Ramadan is the month of blessings. A gift from Allah Ta‟ala and our little ones can learn what it is all about from our library‟s books on Ramadan and Eid. To name a few, we have: “Celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr with Ama Fatima” for students to read how the kids enjoyed their Eid with Ama Fatima “Eid Kareem Ameer Saab!” for students to read how Allah Ta‟ala changed a selfish Ameer Saab into a helper within a single night. “My first Ramadan” for student fasting for the first time to relate to. “Three Muslim festivals” & „‟I‟m learning about Eid-ul-Fitr” for students to listen to Rabiah & Farah‟s learning about Ramadan & Eid. A few library rules: Very important! No food or drink in the library. For all booked classes, book loans/returns must be carried out during their own library sessions. Books will be issued for a fortnight and can also be renewed if requested. Students must bring their library cards in order to borrow. Borrow/returns times for non-scheduled classes are: before school, lunchtime (1:50 pm-2:25 pm) and after school. Library bags have been issued to all primary students so that they can keep their book(s) safe and for Prep to Grade 3 library bags are the key to borrowing. Just to make students responsible/liable towards books, we incur book damage/lost replacement fees by issuing a fine notice. Fines depend upon the type of damage incurred. Please be informed that if you do not return your books by due date, a fine of 10 cents per day will incur from the due date.
