In The Name Of ALLAH, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Principal’s Message I welcome you all to term 3 and I hope you all had a wonderful break and Eid ul Fitr. The start to the term has been a very busy one with the commencement of Parent Teacher Interviews as well as our Annual Sports Day. If for some reason you were unable to make an appointment with teachers this week, I request you do so at a convenient time to both yourself and the class teacher. Those parents who were unable to make it for the interviews may collect the report cards from the front office next week. Reports not collected by Wednesday, 29th July will be posted InshaAllah. We welcome our new IT teacher (Durack Campus) Caroline Jepson. This term we will see a big emphasis on our fete as a community and fundraising venture. We call upon volunteers to come forward and support this event to ensure that it turns out to be as successful as possible. Thank you to all parents who have completed and returned the surveys sent out last term. The data and feedback will assist us in our future planning and improvements. Congratulations to the following students on obtaining outstanding results for the ICAS Digital Technologies Results.

What has been happening in
We LOVE to read in year 2!
We know how important it is, so
we have been practicing every
day!
We also know how important it is to travel actively to school and to do our part in
reducing pollution in our world.
We are an Active Travelling class and have been awarded the trophy twice this
year. Good job year 2's!
Year 2's have
also been
learning how to
tell the time to
the quarter
hour. We have
played many
fun, interactive
games to help
us tell the time
on analogue
clocks.
We are working on our
reading stamina and our
comprehension.
Through reading we are
also learning many new
words.

Effective Note Taking Many students struggle with knowing how to take good
notes in class and while studying at home. Some students,
especially in Years 10, 11 and 12 struggle with both taking
effective notes in class while the teacher is presenting the
lesson and with taking effective notes while studying at
home.
In class, many high school teachers will often present mini
lectures. Some teachers require students to take notes of
the lectures while the lesson is being taught, but how can
students balance taking notes of what is on the slides as
well as the extra information that the teacher also adds to
explain the main points, theories or concepts?
One strategy is to obtain a copy of the power point slides
before the lesson and take notes while the teacher is
talking. This way you have the main information as well as
the extra explanations the teacher provides. Another
strategy is to summarise the main ideas of each slide
instead of copying the slides word for word. Many
students who copy word for word from the board can’t
keep up with the rest of the class and fall behind. The key is
to make sure you are concentrating on what the teacher is
saying and the information they are conveying rather than
only focusing on copying information word for word.
When taking notes on the laptop/tablet or pen and paper,
it is important to free yourself from distractions. When
taking notes on your electronic device, make sure to focus
on one window or tab at a time. Having too many tabs or
windows open on your screen will not allow you to
concentrate and absorb the information you need for one
particular task. Note taking on the computer can be
supplemented with handwritten notes or diagrams and
mind maps. There are many software programs available
which allow you to combine both handwritten notes and
electronic notes. The key to keeping good notes is to keep
all the information you need for one subject or task in one
place.
So what are my top 5 tips for effective note-taking?
1. Concentrate on what the teacher is saying
2. Summarise the main points of the material being
taught
3. Free yourself from distractions
4. Concentrate on one task/topic/idea at a time
5. Keep all your notes in one place
Happy note taking everyone!

Mathletics and Reading Eggs
Now that we reached term 3 and before we hit
all the exciting activities that we have to do this
term, I would like to take the opportunity to
congratulate all teachers and students on their
efforts over the past six months.
Mathletics and Reading Eggs are great
educational programs where students can
practice at school and home. In addition to the
huge bank of core curriculum content, practice
activities, eBooks and interactive tutorials; the
live area of Mathletics is so much more than a
fun diversion. It’s a fast-paced and exciting
way to improve mathematical fluency.
Since the beginning of this academic year,
student results at Australian International
Islamic College have been recorded. On
average students now score 93% in curriculum
activities.
Students who mastered activities attempted in
Mathletics are:

2015 Eid celebrations at the
Australian International Islamic College
With the grace of Allah the Australian
International Islamic College celebrated Eid ul Fitr
on Saturday the 18th of July 2015 at its Durack
campus. The celebrations attracted a crowd of over
2000 people. The official program started at 7:15
with a warm welcome note delivered by Haji
Shahid Khan welcoming the congregation to the
College. He highlighted the importance of
preserving our Islamic identity for the next
generation. Imam Ahmed Azhari delivered the Eid
message, emphasizing the importance of continuing
the acts of worshipping Allah SWT that have been
done during the Holy month of Ramadhan, after
the holy month. Salatul Eid was performed by
Imam Owais Syed with his beautiful recitation
during the Salah. The Eid khutbah was delivered
by Imam Yousaf Thaqafi, who congratulated
everyone for the achievements of worshiping Allah
SWT during the holy month of Ramadhan. The
formal program concluded with a heartfelt dua
from Imam Shehzad Khan, praying to Allah for his
acceptance of our actions during the holy month of
Ramadhan and also he prayed that Allah assists all
of the Muslims around the world in these difficult
times.
After the formal program, the congregation
exchanged hugs and asked each other for
forgiveness. Everyone enjoyed a delightful Eid
Brunch of beef curry, rice and sweets. With Allah’s
mercy the day was a splendid morning filled with
sun shine and joy. The children happily played on
the jumping castle and also enjoyed ice cream and
fairy floss.
The Australian International Islamic College
would like to take this opportunity to thank all
those who participated in making the Eid ul Fitr
celebrations a success and also would like to wish
all our Muslims a very happy Eid ul Fitr Mubarak.
May Allah SWT accept all of our actions that we
have been doing during this holy month of
Ramadhan sincerely for his pleasure, and may
Allah SWT make us better people……Amin.
