Principal’s Message

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh.

Dear parents and students,

It has been a remarkable start to the school year and what a busy term we have had so far. Alhamdulillah all departments within the college have been producing excellent work which plays a big part in ensuring the success and well being of the students at ICOM.

As the college continues to grow, so do the improvements in its facilities. Construction will soon commence on the double-story library and canteen building. The building will include a new modern cafeteria and canteen, extra classrooms, spacious college library and many multi-purpose areas. With this construction, unfortunately, as of next term the canteen will be closed until the end of the 2020 school year. I encourage parents to ensure that your child bring enough healthy food for recess and lunch to sustain them during the busy school day.

The Orphan Sponsorship Program that was introduced in 2017 will be continuing at the college. Alhamdulillah with the generosity of our students, parents and staff

we have been able to continue assisting these orphans throughout their school life. Like every year, the college will persist with fundraising through several initiatives including:

• Money boxes which will start on Monday 16th March to

Friday 20th March. There will be one money box per class in

Primary and one individual money box per student

in Secondary.

• On Multicultural Day students will be asked to provide a

gold coin should they wish to be out of uniform on the day.

Classes have been given a country and they will dress in their

chosen countries traditional clothes or colours on the day.

• During Parent/Teacher Interviews on Friday 27th March,

the Student Representative Council (SRC) and ICOM Parents

Advisory Committee (IPAC) will run a number of stalls

between 2:00–7:00pm with all profits raised going towards

the sponsorship program.

As mentioned above and in the letter sent last week, the first Parent/Teacher Interviews for 2020 will be held on Friday 27th March between 9:00–8:00pm. Parents are to book their child’s interview through the Parent Portal. Please read the letter sent thoroughly regarding when the interview booking times are open for your child’s year level. Parent/Teacher Interviews are an important way to follow up on the progress of your child so far and provides an opportunity for parents to effectively communicate with teachers regarding their child’s academic growth.

Furthermore, the college held its first Parent Committee meeting for 2020 on Wednesday 4th March and would like to invite any other parents who are interested to join the second meeting on Wednesday 3rd June 2020 at 2:40pm.

Lastly, I wish you all a safe term break and I hope to see you all refreshed on the first day of Term 2, Wednesday 15th April, 2020.

An important message from the Principal regarding Coronavirus COVID-19 and ICOMAssalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh.

Dear parents and students,

I am writing to update you with respect to the Coronavirus COVID-19. I understand the growing concerns for your child/children’s health as the world has been flooded with the news of this virus that has been spreading worldwide. The Coronavirus COVID-19 is “a respiratory illness caused by a new virus.

Symptoms range from a mild cough to pneumonia.” The health and safety of our community is our first priority and, Inshallah, with the understanding and cooperation from our parents, we can minimise the risk of this virus spreading into the College and beyond. Parents can find information sheets regarding the virus in this issue of the newsletter and we encourage parents to follow the guidelines set by the Department of Health regarding the prevention of contracting this virus.

I would like to reassure you all by confirming that no student or staff member of The Islamic College of Melbourne has tested positive to the virus.

In line with government advice, we remind all staff, students and parents that if you develop cold and flu viral symptoms such as fever, you are requested to self-quarantine, report to your doctor or a hospital emergency department for testing and inform the school as soon as possible.

Any staff member or student who has been in contact with a person who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 should self-quarantine for 14 days from the last date of contact with an infected individual.

We will continue to update you in the event further news become available. ICOM will respond to government, health department and other directions as required and key events and excursions may be cancelled or postponed.

Unfortunately, due to the spread of the Coronavirus COVID-19 and as a precautionary measure, we have taken the decision to postpone both the Year 9 Umrah Trip and Year 6 Canberra camp excursion. The college contacted parents of students who were scheduled to attend.

Please note that any directions given by the school may be modified and/or changed as a result of advice from relevant sources. We are continuously monitoring and updating our planning for any eventuality. The latest advice and information from the Australian Government may be found at https://www.health.gov.au/health-topics/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov.

Kind Regards,

Dr Abdul M. KamareddineCollege Principal

Coronavirus COVID-19 Information for schools, early learning centres, students and parents.If unwell, staff and students should be excluded from attending the school or early childcare centre until they are assessed by their primary care provider. The primary care provider will liaise with the local public health authority to determine when it is safe for them to return to usual activities.

How can we help prevent the spread of coronavirus?

Practising good sneeze/cough hygiene is the best defence against most viruses. You should:

• Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, before and after eating, and after going to the toilet.

• Cover your cough and sneeze, dispose of tissues, and use alcohol-based hand sanitiser.

• And if unwell, avoid contact with others (stay more than 1.5 metres from people).

Y7 Camp: GirlsOn Wednesday the 12th of February, the Year 7 girls

went to camp at Adekate Lodge.

After arriving at camp and settling into our cabins we wasted no time getting stuck into our camp program! The teachers that went with us included Ms. Gilda, Ms.

Nasiba, Ms. Fatima, Ms. Abir and Ms. Lina.

There was no shortage of activities, we participated in many activities over 3 days like rock climbing,

archery, the amazing race, bush walking, water fights & orienteering just to name a few.

Overall it was a great experience to be able to spend time with other students and teachers that I don’t

normally talk to or associate with.

This experience was enjoyed by all and I can’t wait for the next chance to go away with my friends

and teachers.

Y7 Camp: BoysThis year the Y7 boys attended Golden Valleys Lodge located on the Mornington Peninsula for a school camp.

The camp was set out in a beautiful valley next to thousands of hectares of national park with running creek between us. Boys were fully engaged with team building and leadership activities. We witnessed some of the best

manners displayed by our students towards the camp staff and our surroundings.

The student’s favourite activities were the flying fox and giant swing, the boys also loved playing volleyball, foosball and gagaball. They were also given access to mini-golf and archery. Almost all of the students had a go at archery and it was great to see the boys enjoying themselves. The food was great and the students that were assigned to help did an amazing job. Some students would regularly help out as volunteers and their role was

hugely appreciated.

As a leading teacher I felt that the camp was a great success and provided an invaluable opportunity for teachers and students to bond. Personally I feel it has made my life much easier as an educator as the relationship built now is much stronger and will last a lifetime. My team and I look forward to opportunities like this; to work with future

generations as we have walked away with many golden moments from our Golden Valleys Lodge experience.

Q. How should we organise books in the ICOM Library?

Secondary Library News

Congratulations to the Top 5 secondary classes that borrowed the most books from the library so far. Carry on reading as good reading habits can pave your way to success.

Soon the blessed month of Ramadan will be with us, and the best thing to do in Ramadan is to recite the Quran. In the ICOM library you will see the Quran and many other quality Islamic books on display uniquely during this month for our students to read during their recess and lunch breaks. May Allah accept our good deeds and dua in the coming Ramadan, ameen.

Ms. Zetty LatipSecondary Librarian

ICOM Library NewsAnswer:By looking at the call number; at the back or on the spine.

If the book has a number on the spine it goes in the NON-FICTION section otherwise FS = Fiction Series, FE = Fiction Easy, FC = Fiction Comics,

F = Fiction, A = Arabic Books and I = Islamic Books. If it is a picture book, look at the letter on the front of the book to know which letter section to put it in.



Student’s immersed in activities at Kryal Castle.

Y8: Kryal Castle TripVisiting Kryal Castle was amazing. We learned about medieval castles and how people lived in them, how they

were protected and how others took over the castles. Kryal Castle is not a real castle but a tourist destination for people who would like to learn and see what the medieval times were like.

I learned that people in medieval times were mostly peasants. 90% of the population were peasants, the knights were the second-lowest class, the lords and nobles were above the knights. A peasant could go from the lowest

class to the top class by joining the church. The only other way you could move classes was by marriage. If a knight married a noble girl then the knight would become a noble. King Henry VIII had six wives and every time he

married another he would behead the one before because they could not divorce as it was forbidden by the chruch.

Personally my favourite thing about Kryal Castle was the archery because I like to shoot things like arrows. It was very interesting to learn how longbow hunters would try and shoot into the castle windows to hurt people inside.

Kryal Castle was a very interesting experience and I hope that everyone enjoyed it even though it was raining all day.

Faria Nasreen ZamanClass 8C



Y8: Kryal Castle TripKryal Castle was an unforgettable experience. From the amazing costumes to the siege weapons, we had 4 main

workshops that were: Making a medieval bandage, archery, learning about siege weapons and how they function during a siege battle and learning about the types of crisis that can occur during a siege. We also got to learn

about peasantry and how the peasants would revolt to improve their working conditions and lower taxes which could sometimes backfire and work against them. Personally my favourite part was learning about King Henry VIII

and King Richard II who was only 14 years old. King Henry VIII had 6 wives!

Khadra ElhawliClass 8C

Y8: Kryal Castle TripGoing to Kryal Castle was certainly an experience, one open to discussion as everyone has a different opinion, but

generally it was a fantastic experience. From the siege weapon models, to the armour testing, all the way to the elaborately made torture room Kryal Castle was full of surprises. The wet weather just added to the atmosphere

as Kryal Castle looks like it came straight out of a movie. The archery was spot-on (pun intended) and a crowd favourite, although the magnificent entrance was definitely a sight to behold.

Kryal Castle, is actually considered a fort as the inside doesn’t include a keep. Many were quick to point out that the graves were inscribed with rather debatable rhymes, but we had to be quick to move on if we wanted to see everything. All in all, many of us boys thoroughly enjoyed this experience, as it makes one wonder, what it would

be like to live in such a time?

Y12 Careers: ACU VisitAs part of ICOM’s career education program for year 12 students every week a different representative from a tertiary

institution visit’s the college to speak and inform our senior students about the different courses and pathways that are available to them in 2021.

These sessions are extremely important and endlessly beneficial for all students in Y12 as they help students acquire information that will be useful for them to know before choosing courses for their VTAC applications in September.

Interschool Sports: Boys FutsalA select group of year 9 male students participated in the annual ISSAV Futsal Tournament. The boys began

confidently and won the first four matches to top the group while progressing into the semi-finals. We fought hard but unfortunately our boys were overrun by the Mount Hira College team who would be the eventual title

winners. ICOM’s best players on the day were Xayd Shaikh and Kamil Ahmed. Well done to all.

Y4: Fun in Arabic ClassOur Y4 students are enjoying learning about animals in Arabic. It is amazing to see how excited

and interested they are in learning Arabic, singing the words and the sentences.

Students have engaged in a variety of activities. In one exciting lesson we alternated between a few learning games, some role play activities and singing the animal’s names and sounds.

Flash cards are a major teaching tool in Arabic class as students are visual learners and enjoy many activities using the cards. These activities include matching games, memory games and

guessing games. We hung the flash cards on the Arabic wall so students can constantly be reminded of their lesson for the week.

The most successful activity was the animal toys where students enjoyed holding them, playing and learning the colours and the names of the animals. They used a family theme to describe

their favourite animal to each family member.

Y3: The Rookeepers Radical Reptiles IncursionOn the 6th of March as part of the Science unit Feathers, Fur or Leaves our Y3 students participated in

The Rookeepers Radical Reptiles incursion.

The Rookeepers’ passionate team of highly trained zoo-keepers captivated students with an interactive reptile show. Students got to see and touch some amazing creatures including Louie the green tree frog, Marshmallow

the long neck turtle and Parker the frill-neck lizard. Our presenters provided students with facts about each of the reptiles, discussed the needs of living things and highlighted the effect of human actions on animals and their

ecosystems. The incursion concluded with our brave students smiling eagerly for a photo opportunity with Peter the black-headed python.

Toonworld Art IncursionAs we started this year with another way of learning art and creativity, our primary students have been successful

in achieving their best using art as an educational method. As they created stories and learnt how to build characters using their imagination as they participated in the Toon World Incursion Presentation and the Sword of Destiny as they discovered the story behind Billy and the bullies and not only recognising but acknowledging the

important message behind empowering our students through creativity.

What an amazing way to approach the conclusion of term 1 this year. Many thanks and kind regards.

Road Safety NoticeResearch shows that young children do not have the skills and experience to be safe in traffic on their own, parents and

carers need to take special care and supervise young children in traffic.

Follow the safe road crossing procedure — STOP, LOOK, LISTEN and THINK:

STOP one step back from the kerb or shoulder of the road if there is no footpath.

LOOK in all directions for approaching traffic.

LISTEN in all directions for approaching traffic.

THINK about whether it is safe to cross the road – Is the road is clear and have all traffic stopped?

When crossing the road walk straight across the other side. Keep LOOKING and LISTENING for traffic while crossing. Whenever possible,

cross at a pedestrian crossing, traffic signal or pedestrian refuge. On Wootten Road, there is a pedestrian crossing which has a safety

supervisor during school drop off and pick up times. This is where parents and students should safely cross from. Council officers often

do random checks at this crossing and may issue infringement notices should people fail to obey the road safety rules. Time-based

Y2 Science: Chicken Life CycleDuring Term 1 the students in Y2 have been focusing on the life cycles of living things. We were lucky enough to witness the chicks hatch from an egg and grow bigger and bigger each day. We loved observing the chicks during feeding time, and we never said no to holding the chicks. We developed a great bond with our chicks over the weeks they spent with us and were sad to see them go. We loved learning about the life cycle of a chicken.
