Assalam alaikum,
It has been another successful term in the high school sports department at The Australian Islamic College Adelaide. We were fortunate once again, receiving a sporting grant to spend on AFL coaching sessions for our year 7 and 8 boys and girls, with the rest of the money spent on new AFL and European Handball equipment for our students to enjoy.
We have participated in several interschool sports tournaments this term. AIC is extremely proud of our soccer teams who played in a competitive 5-a-side soccer tournament early in the term. Our boys team managed to win every match they played (no draws or losses), securing first sport, becoming champions, and bringing home another well-deserved trophy.
Dragon boating has become an annual excursion our students are always excited for. Boating in the aggressive rain made for a very memorable day, one both teachers and students will remember for a long time. We are particularly impressed with our girls, who performed amazingly well on the day.
After-school sports continues, dramatically growing in numbers. The students have been enjoying a variety of sports, including some they are new to. European Handball has taken off, quickly becoming a favourite amongst many students.
It’s been a very successful 2021 for AIC. We have participated in many sporting competitions and managed to become champions on four occasions, beating sports academy schools and campuses with double or triple our enrolment numbers. These are fantastic achievements and a real testament to our wonderfully talented kids and caring parents who show incredible dedication to sport in and out of school. Well done to all!
Wassalam alaikum
