Second Week of the School
At Muhammadiyah Australia College, we believe that every child is unique, possess different capabilities and skills, and all of them should be given the opportunity to access the best Islamic and Australian education can offer. During Week 1 at the College, our students were examined by the Head of Islamic Studies to gauge their makhārij (pronunciation of the Arabic letters), reading proficiency & fluency, and finally their knowledge of the tajwīd rules.
During Week 2 (the present week), our students were assigned their Qur’ān class and Qur’ān teacher, as per their individual needs and level. Many students began their journey in learning to recite the Noble Qur’ān for the very first time! (Alḥamdulillah!) We strongly believe in “quality over quantity.” Our Iqra’, Qur’ān, and Tajwīd classes are divided into focused groups guided by one or 2 teachers. We ensure every group are kept small with a maximum of 5 students per group so each student will have more than enough time of one-to-one teaching with their teachers.
We provide also extra Iqra’ and Qur’ān classes from 8AM-8.50AM (Monday to Friday), as well as from 3.20PM to 4PM (Monday to Friday) as a means of support for our students, both for those who need a bit of extra help and for those who want to keep excelling at learning the Qur’ān. If you are interested in finding more about our Qur’ān & Ḥifẓ program, as well as our Islamic Studies curriculum, please feel free to attend our Quran and Islamic Studies Information Session this Friday, the 11th of February, start from 5PM. This invitation is not only for the parents whose children are already enrolled with us, but also to any parents who have children at Primary School age and want the best for them in both Islamic and mainstream education.

Historical First Day of School
On the 31st of January 2022, We welcomed our inaugural students and their parents to Muhammadiyah Australia College at the Melton campus by holding a special assembly followed by a morning tea. Each student and their accompanying parent(s) or special person were welcomed at the gate by the College’s Board of Directors, College Principal, and teaching staff. With the front office and classrooms decorated, a big banner was erected reading, “Welcome to Muhammadiyah Australia College: School of Akhlaq, School of Ihsan”.
It was truly a great and blessed day for everyone involved. I want to extend my sincere thanks to all of our community members who have worked hard to prepare for this historical moment, may Allah reward your effort and contribution with an abundance of goodness.
I thank all the parents and students and community members who came and participated in this celebration. I thank our Board of Directors and staff members for their presence and participation. And finally, and most importantly, I thank Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, who has made this dream come true! May Allah bless all of us and keep us in ikhlas in serving Him.
