Junior Primary & Primary

Salaam alaikum, 

We welcome our families to 2022. We hope all are feeling very much part of the Australian Islamic College Adelaide community.

JP & UP teachers always ensure that all children:

• Are safe
• Fulfil their potential
• Have excellent social and emotional skills
• Are excellent learners

The quality of teaching and learning is central to this and we have a consistent approach i.e. that all teachers know what to do and why to do it so children have the same excellent provision in all areas and how to behave, how to talk to others or how to be more independent.

JP & UP celebrated Harmony Day on 23^rd March. Our message for Harmony Day is that ‘everyone belongs’. The students wore their Cultural dress or orange, the colour representing Harmony Day. Every year level conducted activities such as creating Harmony Day posters, art activities and performing to “Everyone Belongs”. We ended the day with our Harmony Day parade.

JP & UP have fortnightly and end of term awards which recognise students for demonstrating Growth Mindset personalities, attitudes and behaviours including academics.

To help our students become a hero we are providing you a list of helpful Do’s:

• Do get to school on time (8:30 am)
• Do inform the office (parents) if your child is absent
• Do keep us informed of any changes (Junior Primary parents) if your child is being picked up by anyone else other than you
• Do be respectful in class and follow all school rules
• Do wear the correct and clean uniform
• Do wear the correct school shoes and haircut (Islamically appropriate)

As a communication platform, the primary aim of ClassDojo is to build community in and around every classroom. Teachers are able to share skills students are developing in classroom activities through photos, videos and messages. This also lets parents share in the moments of their child’s day which they otherwise wouldn’t see.
Please ensure that not only are you connected to your child’s Class Dojo but that you are checking messages from your child’s teacher.

At AIC, we strongly believe in teachers and parents working together for the benefit of our students. When teachers partner their ability to inspire thought and creativity with the foundational support parents provide, students are better prepared to have a positive school experience.

We thank our parents for their ongoing support and look forward to working with them this year.

Mrs. Fernandez & Mrs. Khelwaty
