Dear Parents,

Subject: Exciting Campus Expansion and Term 3 Enrolment Update

Dear Iqra School Community,

I am absolutely thrilled to share some wonderful news with you all. As our school continues to grow, so does our campus! We have officially integrated the building next door into Iqra School, allowing us to expand our facilities and welcome more students into our wonderful community.

Thanks to this extra space, we are now able to confirm new student enrolments for a Term 3 start in Years 1, 2, and 3.

As we navigate this exciting growth, please keep the following important details in mind regarding the enrolment process:

Enrolment Policy & Priority: The school will strictly follow our standard enrolment policy. Priority will be given to siblings of current students.

Notification: Families of children being offered a placement for Term 3 will be contacted directly via telephone or email in the coming days.

Interview & Confirmation: If you receive an offer, we kindly ask that you promptly confirm your interview time.

Attendance Dues: To secure the position, families must be prepared to pay the remaining full attendance dues for the 2026 school year, which total $500 (covering Terms 3 and 4).

We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of our proprietors and our amazing community. This expansion is a huge milestone for us, and we are looking forward to growing the Iqra School family and welcoming our new students and their families very soon.

Warm regards,
