Muharram

Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar and is a very special and sacred time for many Muslim families. In 2025, Muharram begins on the evening of Friday, June 27. It is a time for reflection, prayer, and remembering important events in Islamic history. One of the most significant days in this month is the Day of Ashura, which falls on the evening of Sunday, July 6. During Muharram, values such as kindness, gratitude, patience, and standing up for what is right are remembered and honoured. As a school, we acknowledge and support our Muslim students and families during this important time.

محرم – یک زمان مقدس در تقویم اسلامی

محرم اولین ماه تقویم اسلامی است و برای بسیاری از خانواده‌های مسلمان یک زمان بسیار ویژه و مقدس می‌باشد. در سال ۲۰۲۵، محرم از شب جمعه، ۲۷ جون آغاز می‌شود. این ماه زمانی برای تفکر، دعا و یادآوری رویدادهای مهم تاریخ اسلام است. یکی از مهم‌ترین روزهای این ماه روز عاشورا است که در شب یک‌شنبه، ۶ جولای می‌باشد.

در طول ماه محرم، ارزش‌هایی مانند مهربانی، شکرگزاری، صبر و ایستادگی برای حق یادآوری و گرامی داشته می‌شوند. ما به‌عنوان یک مکتب،

از محصلان و خانواده‌های مسلمان خود در این زمان مهم پشتیبانی و قدردانی می‌کنیم.

Matariki – Māori New Year!!

This week, our school celebrated Matariki, the Māori New Year, which begins on Friday, 20th June 2025. Matariki marks the rising of a special group of stars and is a time for remembering those who have passed, celebrating the present, and looking forward to the future. Students took part in storytelling, singing, and creative star-themed activities. It’s a meaningful time for whānau to come together, share kai (food), and reflect on what they are grateful for as they set new goals for their year ahead.
