Students from Year 3 were permitted to support today’s fundraiser for the people affected by Cyclone Winston in Fiji by dressing in clothes that represent their cultural heritage.
The Year 3 students had previously worked hard on a study unit about "persuasive writing" and had presented their arguments for or against wearing a school uniform to not only their class teachers but also College Principal Mr Houghton. As a result of a very persuasive piece of writing, the students convinced Mr Houghton to allow them to have an "Out of Uniform Day" at the College. They were asked to contribute with a gold coin donation if they chose to come to class out of uniform.
Mr Houghton was most impressed with two very strong opinions the children had:
1) We will be able to see the clothes from different Nationalities.
2) When we have lots of clothes, we can earn ‘Hassanah’ and donate to charity.

My name is Ms Cheryl and I have been teaching at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ since 2011. I am pleased to announce that I have accepted the position of Team Leader for Year 4 and HifzA. As Team Leader, my responsibilities include looking after the pastoral care of all Year 4 students and ensuring that everyone behaves in a dignified and positive way.
I graduated with a Diploma of Teaching in 1986 and a Bachelor of Education in 1991. I started my teaching career at the Australian International Academy (AIA) in 1988. During my 12 years at the Academy, I taught all Primary levels and held a wide variety of positions of responsibility. After leaving AIA, I taught at a State school in the Inner Melbourne suburbs, I ceased work for a short while to raise a family.
I believe that I bring a variety of skills and many years of experience and knowledge to the classroom and enjoy playing an important role in guiding students towards being life – long learners. I look forward to working with you and the Year 4 and HifzA teachers to ensure that 2021 is a rewarding year for us all.
