Y4: Melbourne Grand Mosque Excursion

Our Year 4 students recently visited Melbourne Grand Mosque, for an educational excursion focused on the role and importance of the masjid in Islam.

Students were welcomed and briefed by Mr Imran Khan Mohammad, Secretary, Assistant Treasurer & Director, before receiving a guided tour from the Mosque Imam, Sheikh Hysni Merja. The excursion was led by Primary College Imam Sheikh Ajwad Hashim.

Throughout the visit, students learnt about mosque etiquette and how the mosque connects to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). They also explored areas not normally seen during a regular visit, including the classrooms and Janaza facilities. 

The excursion gave students the opportunity to connect what they learn in Islamic Studies with the practical role a mosque plays within the Muslim community.
