Engagement 

NSW parliament forum in Parramatta

Donna Davis MP invited Emily Farah and Maroun Ters to attend a community forum concerning the development and infrastructure of North Parramatta. 

 This valuable experience provided them with firsthand insights into how community consultations are run and how they can further contribute to shaping the future of Parramatta. 

 Their involvement showed a strong commitment to understanding community needs, approaching their engagement with Donna Davis MP with both enthusiasm and dedication.

Enriching experience for our Chinese Exchange student

As part of our College's Chinese Exchange student program, a former 2024 exchange student named Amy returned to Sydney to visit the college community!

 Amy missed the strong sense of community, the vibrant diversity, and the friendships she had formed at the college. She also brought back thoughtful gifts for the entire Year 12 cohort and teachers.

 Amy’s friends from the college (Emily Farah, Chanel Kassis, Rachelle Rizk) also took her out on a fun trip to Parramatta Westfield and around Western Sydney.

Primary Arabic Students Grow Green Thumbs for Spring Market

Every Friday, our Primary Arabic staff and students roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty with a special planting project. As part of a vibrant and hands-on initiative, students are learning how to care for a variety of plants, from seeds to full bloom, in preparation for our annual Spring Market.

This weekly activity not only supports learning about nature, responsibility, and sustainability but also helps foster a strong sense of teamwork and pride. Students are excited to watch their plants grow week by week, knowing their efforts will contribute to a wonderful selection of greenery available for sale at the Spring Market.

We can’t wait to see the beautiful results of their hard work and we look forward to the school community supporting our young gardeners when the market arrives!

Preschool visit to MCHF

The College welcomed 10 preschool students and their educators from Young Academics Harris Park preschool. The students and educators were super excited to visit our college. The preschool students read a story in our library and participated in a small activity with Miss Alweddy and Miss Dib. This collaboration allowed the students to experience Big School for the first time. The students, educators, Miss Alweddy and Miss Dib had a wonderful time! We look forward to many more opportunities of collaboration in the future 😊
