Alhamdulillah, our community has grown beautifully over the years, and the need for our own Masjid has never been greater. A dedicated space for prayer, learning and unity is a priority – and with your support, we hope to begin construction as soon as possible, inShaAllah.
“Whosoever builds a Mosque for Allah, then Allah will build for him a similar house in Paradise.” (Sahih Bukhari)

With the holidays nearly over, it is a great time to refresh and get organised for Term 3, and what better place to start than your child’s bookshelf?
We invite our Primary School parents to sort through their child’s book collection and donate any gently used books they have outgrown. Your donations will help grow our classroom libraries and share the joy of reading with more students. Whether it is a well-loved bedtime story or an exciting adventure, let it start its next chapter with another child.
Please Review Before Donating
To ensure all books align with our Islamic values, we kindly ask parents to avoid books containing:
- Substance use
- Magic or wizardry
- Same-sex relationships
- Strong romantic themes
- Other faith-based holidays or practices
- Swearing or crude/disrespectful language.
We welcome books that promote positive messages like empathy, kindness, resilience and family values. Thank you for helping us nurture a love of reading while staying true to our shared values.
