AUSTRALIAN ISLAMIC COLLEGE THORNLIE
Message from the Executive Principal
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmutallahi wa Barakatuhu
Dear parents and our school community members,
The mission of our College is to provide a high quality
academic program in a dynamic Islamic environment. We
work alongside the students and parents and examine
our pedagogy in light of the needs of our students.
Combined with our collegial nature, enthusiasm and
dedication, we are putting all our efforts to provide
students with quality learning experiences and excellence
in education.
Additionally, we provide our students with a rich co-
curricular program including Islamic quizzes and many
other competitions. Our aim is to prepare our students to
succeed as lifelong learners who are constructive
members of the Australian society whilst still proud of
their Islamic heritage and identity.
We aim to set high standards at the College. We are
doing everything possible to prepare our students
academically and intellectually for their future lives. We
are establishing a strong partnership between the school,
home and community and this partnership has worked
extremely well in educating the children.
I am sure you have seen our 2018 WACE (Year 12)
results for Kewdale campus by now. AIC stands TALL
amongst the top 30 schools in WA with our DUX’s perfect
ATAR of 99.95, Alhamdulillah. AIC School Mean ATAR is
84.85 while WA State Median ATAR is 81.80. Sixty three
percent (63%) of AIC ATAR students have achieved 90+
ATAR while 88% of AIC ATAR students received 80+
ATAR with bonus points. One student received a
Certificate of Excellence in Math’s Methods, Math’s
Specialist, Physics and Chemistry; 3 students received
Certificates of Distinction; 7 students received Certificates
of Merit from Schools Curriculum and Standards Authority
(SCSA). Fifty-seven students received offers with their
first preferences, while 73 students received offers from
any of their preferences at Curtin, ECU, Murdoch and
UWA, Alhamdulillah.
Religious development is also essential to complete the
learning process of not only the child but any person in
general. We teach students Arabic, Quran and Islamic
Studies in order to facilitate their religious development.
Receiving this Islamic education will prepare students for
all events in their lives because they can find the answers
to all their questions in the Quran and teachings (Hadith)
of the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh).
Students at AIC are valued as individuals who have a
right to academic, emotional, social, physical and spiritual
nourishment.
I am more than certain that with the help of Allah (SWT)
and your continued support, we shall be able to take our
College to the next phase of development. I shall
continue to work with you for the best interests of our
beloved children and our community at large, Insha’Allah.

AUSTRALIAN ISLAMIC COLLEGE THORNLIE
Principal’s Message Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,
Dear parents, students, staff members, the college
management and all members of the community at large.
I praise Allah (Swt) as He is the only and absolute One
worthy of Praise. Peace and Blessings be to the Beloved
Prophet Muhammad (Saw), his family and his
companions.
I would like to warmly welcome you all to look back at
the 2018 year.
Thanks to Allah (Swt), the Most Kind and the Most
Merciful for all His blessings that He showers upon us,
Alhamdulillah.
In 2018 we were blessed with a significant number of
new enrolments in all year levels. Alhamdulillah, we
opened new classes with new teachers: In Years 1, 2 and
2.
We warmly welcomed our new students and their families
into our school community and conveyed our heartfelt
thanks for choosing our school for your children. As for
the existing students and their families, we conveyed our
sincere thanks for continuing to trust us in educating their
children.
We pledge to continue our tireless efforts and absolute
hard work in providing high quality education and a most
effective teaching and learning environment, programs
and activities that activate our children’s curiosity and
nourish their desire to seek for knowledge. Our focus is to
provide a stimulating learning environment for our
students where they feel completely motivated to achieve
their very best.
The College’s warm and welcoming atmosphere ensures
that students feel valued as individuals. All of our
students are given an enriched learning experience to
develop as unique learners.
We faced so many challenges in 2018 and with our hard
work, persistence and determination we gained much
success in numerous aspects of school life. Alhamdulillah,
throughout the year, we were able to demonstrate
achievement in many areas. Some of our achievements
are listed below:
Our fantastic 2018 Naplan results were evidence of
some of those successes.
Our students received ICAS Certificates - Merits,
Credits, Distinctions and High Distinctions in the areas
of Digital Technologies, English, Writing, Spelling,
Mathematics and Science.
Successful Student Exchange Program and Interfaith
Program.
Purchase of STEM resources with the wonderful
support and contribution of our Fantastic P&F. I am
truly grateful for their support.
Classroom renovation and other school upgrades to
maintain and continue to improve the physical
appearance of our school.
We were very busy with numerous and meaningful school
activities. We continued with our project-based learning
in the form of STEM projects and the integration of
Design and Digital technologies across the curriculum.
One of our most valuable resources are our outstanding
teachers. Our teachers are extremely committed and
dedicated. They work in collaboration with each other to
form a very strong Professional Learning Team. Our
experienced and vibrant teachers provide students with a
superlative education. I thank Allah (Swt) for blessing us
with our wonderful teachers.
AIC Thornlie is very attractive in appearance, with
beautiful landscaping and art work.
With only the very best for our children in mind,
classrooms are equipped with an abundance of teaching
and learning resources that are updated with current
technologies. Such resources include educational books,
Math’s equipment, STEM resources and an Interactive
White Board in every classroom. Students also have
access to laptop computers, iPads and a first-class school
library. The Accelerated Program is run in the library
encourages students to develop their love of reading and
improve their literacy skills.
Teaching and learning is underpinned by our Islamic
morals and values. Both academic and Islamic values are
PART 2

AUSTRALIAN ISLAMIC COLLEGE THORNLIE
inter-related as we strive for excellence in both areas.
Another special feature that was integrated into our
programs is Islamic Heritage. Our students need to be
exposed to our Islamic Heritage. With the knowledge and
awareness of their Heritage, we expect them to be
confident and proud of their identity as Muslims in a
diverse Australian community.
Our school strives for ‘academic excellence and success in
this life and the hereafter.’ We combine and integrate high
scholastic standards with spiritual nurturing to enable our
students from diverse communities and cultural
backgrounds to establish their identities as Australians
within a democratic society and to develop the knowledge,
skills and values necessary to empower them to participate
and contribute as good and active citizens. Harmonious
relations and trust between school and home, specifically
parents, teachers and management, are essential and the
key to success. Therefore, parent support is very much
acknowledged and appreciated. We have only the very
best for our children in mind and value our strong
partnership between teachers and parents. With the help
of Allah Swt, our children will achieve success both in this
world and the hereafter.
Ameen!
Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Be upon Him)
said, “He who does not thank people, does not thank
Allah.” I would like to take this opportunity to once again
thank our parents for their wonderful support. I would also
like to thank Thornlie P&F and parent helpers for their
suggestions and thoughtful input, their wonderful support
and valuable contribution throughout the year. Finally, I
thank our upper management for their guidance and
wisdom.
Kindest Regards
Endah Hayes
Principal

School progress towards its goals in 2018 PART 3
Short and Long Term Goals and our Improvement
Agenda
Based upon our data derived from NAPLAN, On Entry
Assessment, ACER Diagnostic assessments along with the
advice and guidance from the National Partnership, ACER
Review panel and other professional staff, we put in place
our school Improvement Agenda. The Operational
Strategic Plan has been developed and implemented to
reach our College – short and long term.
Within our Improvement Agenda was the implementation
of explicit teaching, school-wide pedagogy, differentiated
instructions, guided reading, reading fluency, Oxford-Word
List, Fry’s List, Math fluency and problem solving strategies
to improve the literacy and numeracy skills of our students.
Numerous books, fiction and non-fiction, and Math’s
equipment were purchased for all year levels.
Diagnostic Testing: ACER, NAPLAN, On Entry
Assessments Diagnostic tests were administered to identify
strengths and areas for improvement. ACER diagnostic
tests were administered in term 1 for Years 1-9 to
determine each students’ level at the beginning of the year
and in term 4 to see the progress gained in a school year.
NAPLAN was held at the beginning of Term 2 for Years 3,
5, 7 and 9. Areas that were assessed include: Reading,
Writing, Spelling, Language and Conventions and
Numeracy. Enrichment classes were conducted in
preparation for NAPLAN.
On Entry Assessments were administered for Pre-Primary
students at the beginning of the year.
With the data derived from ACER, we had a valid and
sound comparison with NAPLAN results.
ESL Trained Teachers
Majority of our students come from ESL backgrounds.
Teachers were trained to equip them with skills and
knowledge on how to teach ESL students in mainstream
classrooms. This is a way to make sure that the needs of
our ESL students are met.
Professional Learning Team
We have a strong Professional Learning Team where
teachers are engaged consistently in professional dialogue,
sharing ideas and working in strong collaboration with each
other. Teachers within the same year level met once a
week during their common DOTT (Duty Other Than
Teaching) to discuss program, ideas, planning and other
matters related to students’ progress and wellbeing.
Staff Appraisal
Staff Appraisal was conducted once per term based on
AITSL standard.
Mentoring System and Performance Management
We have a mentoring system through Performance
Management platform in Office 365 to ensure teachers’
professional growth and to build teachers’ professional
capacity. The Performance Management goals in 2018
were Design Technologies and Digital Technologies. In
previous years the goals were Differentiated Instructions,
Literacy Integration, ICT Integration and Project Based
Learning (STEM).
Behaviour Management System
Our Behaviour Management System is based on Islamic
moral values. Positive reinforcement was emphasized.
Students were taught how to self-reflect. We had a
dedicated behaviour management team.
Project-Based Learning
2018 was a very busy year full of very engaging and fun
activities. Among those activities was our project-based
learning in the form of STEM projects and the integration
of design and technologies into numerous learning areas.
Students were engaged in planning, designing, choosing
the right materials, creating, testing, evaluating and
improving their project. We held a STEM exhibition at our
school for a day and we were very impressed and proud
of our students’ work. With the help of our P&F, we
managed to purchase some STEM resources for our
students. Fundraising was also organized to collect funds
to continue with purchasing more STEM resources.
You Can Do It Program
Attention to students’ physical, social, emotional and
spiritual wellbeing was emphasized. Five keys to success
(Organisation, Persistence, Confidence, Resilience, Get
Along) were taught through the “You Can Do It” along with
Protective Behaviour as part of our Health Program.
Excursions and Incursions:
The school participated in numerous excursions /
incursions in order to boost our students’ learning
experiences and to give them ample opportunities to
interact and integrate with the wider community.

students were able to read Quran although they were still
in Year 2.
