Al Huda Weekend School
Term 1 Completion Newsletter
Dear Parents
AssalamuAlaykumwaRahmatullah
Alhamdulillah, AHWS staff is excited to
pursue its program targets in Term 2. Let’s
make it a Great year ahead!
At AHWS,we recognize that every child
comes to school with his/her own ambitions,
unique learning experiences and ideas
which play a major role in his/her
learning.We aspire to develop a productive
complementing relationship with parents in
shaping high morals and learning success of
our students.
Together we can help them become
responsible, trustworthy, truthful & diligent
believers active and vibrant to contribute
goodness in the communities they live in.
Term One was Learning and Fun!
In Term 1,students have remarkably learned
Qur’an Tajwid and tafsir with keen interest
and enthusiasm. Memorizing the du’as and
etiquettes via class learning, active audiovisuals, as well as craft seems to give them
a desirable balance of effort and creativity.
As well, they have learned Islamic history
and Seerah giving them a direction, and
meaningful attitude towards life.
Alongside academics, we strive to give
weekend learning a taste of creative,
meaningful fun. Alhamdulillah, staff and
students co-ordinateda successful Bake
Sale. We like to say a hearty
“JazaakAllahukhayrankatheera” to all
parents who contributed whole-heartedly.
Students learnt valuable lessons of team
work, responsibility and goal-orientation in a
believer’s life. Everyone appreciated the
well-organized event. A steady incline to
apply lessons learnt in Seerah is starting to
show in their conversations.
We hope, you as parents will notice and
reinforce these positive Iman- growth signs.
In shaAllah.

Student Testimonials
“When I started Al-Huda I really didn‟t know
much about the deen. Now I have been going
for a year and a half and it has increased me
in my knowledge and made me a better
person. Al Huda has taught me how to be a
more humble person. It has taught me how
the religion isn‟t just about having the title
Islam or Muslim but to bring action with it.”
~ fromHafsa Farah [Level 04]
“In my perspective I believe that Al Huda is
a very friendly community for students,
parents and teachers. After joining Al Huda it
has come to my attention that I have become
more responsible and organized. Al Huda
allows students to take learning into their
own hands. Their education depends on the
student and how they want to achieve it.
Responsibility is one of the characteristics
which this program has thought me.”
~ fromSalwa Siddiqui [Level 06 ]

 Punctuality: Please ensure arrival at
10:00amsharp
 Uniform: Kindly send your child in proper
clean and tidy uniform.

 Homework/Project completion:Help your
child excel in class by taking keen interest
and encouraging in his/her assigned work for
weekend.
Absence: Please notify Course Incharge in case
of absences even one full weekend, and
especially if away for more than 2 weekends.
Please note parents and students are fully

Due to the nature of weekend learning, teachers
are not expected to provide lessons for the time
the child was away.
How to Help your Child
1. Expectations: Pleasehave realistic expectations
from your child in terms of behavior and learning.
The saying goes ‘kids will be kids’. Expecting your
child to be a ‘moral book character’ can set you up
for frustration and disappointment. Give your child
clear and achievable expectations and help
him/her pace towards them.

2. Communication: It is very important that parents
talk to their children about what they learned, what
their thoughts are on what they learned, and how
they will apply it into their lives etc. It is the
teacher’s duty to impart religious values and
positive inspiration but it is in fact crucial that
parents reinforce them at home as well.
Message From A Teacher
As I enter the class I see bright faces, and faces
adorned with smiles,
Some inquisitive learners and some active
listeners,
Some full of ideas and ready for discussions,
Some motivated, inspiring role models for
others,
And some dreamers and some busy with peers,
One thing common in all, is the spirit to
volunteer for any given work,
An adorable bunch of girls with pure hearts and a
zest for knowledge,
With a little hard work O, dear students you will
see wonders,
You will be ascenders and leading as forerunners,
Transformed and adorned by the jewels of the
