Students in Hifz A and Year 4 celebrated the end of their Humanities unit βAfricaβ with a wonderful event in the new Auditorium assembly area in M building last week. The day began with the sounds of traditional African drums beating and a presentation of West Africa Culture from our guests Mohamed and Kwame.
The students displayed their African projects on the walls and their Topography maps on tables around the room for everyone to view during the event.
After our time in West Africa we travelled to South Africa, where Mr Vis introduced the students to many famous African people including Elon Musk and Nelson Mandela. Did you know Mr Vis has met Nelson Mandela?
Ms Samira kindly provided us with our next trip to Eritrea. Ms Samira shared stories of life in Eritrea and how to make traditional Eritrean ginger coffee, using freshly ground green beans and served with popcorn.
After the presentations everyone enjoyed a wonderful African feast of chicken drumsticks and rice. The delicious food smells travelled all around the M building and we were able to share food with various staff members as well. Back in our rooms we played various African games and spent time painting our faces in traditional patterns.
Overall, students and teachers had a wonderful day, and we hope they shared their experiences with their families at home. We thank everyone who helped to make this day special and look forward to more events during the year.

My name is Ms Cheryl and I have been teaching at Al ΎήΘιΚΣΖ΅ ΎήΘιΚΣΖ΅ 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 β 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.
