Parents
Many parents with children attending Muslim Schools (or any other kind of school) give the impression that their responsibility for the education of their children ends when they pay their school fees. The purpose of the Parents Handbook is to show parents that this belief is quite untrue and to guide them towards the key role they have to play at all stages and in all aspects of their children’s education.

Parents are requested to monitor homework and sign the pupil's homework diaries, as a carefully planned homework program contributes enormously to the development to the individual study habits and to long-term success. Regular communication between the school and parents build a strong relationship, which proves beneficial in solving any problems, which many occur at an early stage.

 

Tarbiyyah

“Tarbiyyah means to look after, to nurture, to nourish, and to help grow and flourish. Tarbiyyah (from the Arabic root word, which means to own, look after and cherish) implies certain sensitivity towards the child under your care, his emotional and physical needs and capacities. It implies the ability to inspire confidence. It implies the courage to allow and promotes creativity and innovation. It implies the ability to trust and not to stifle, to be firm when needed and even to impose sanctions when necessary.”

 

Fundraising
Increase your wealth
"Who is he that will lend to Allah a goodly loan (Qard Hasan) so that He may multiply it to him many times? And it is Allah that decreases or increases (your provision..." Surat AlBaqara, Aayah 245.

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: "No wealth will decrease from paying Sadaqah (donation). It would rather increase it, increase it, increase it". We know that donation in the cause of Allah will serve as the best investment that we can make. It is Sadaqah Jariyah, which will earn us continuous rewards.

We have commenced the Olive Tree School in a temporary facility. Our plan is to either build or purchase land for a purpose built school with a student projection of 250 within 2 years.
