OCTOBER 2014 NEWS
Wednesday, October 8th, 2014 Greetings from the Guidance Department! Assalamu Alaikum and Eid Mubarak! So far, October has been a very eventful month for the Guidance Department. Beginning with the University Fair in September and visits by each of the universities in and around the GTA, to individualized and group sessions with each of the graduating students, we have been trying to make the search for a postsecondary institution as smooth as possible and one that will allow the students the chance to make a very informed decision. Meeting all the new students within the school has been a very enlightening and interesting process. Classes have been requesting topics for workshops and we will continue with these workshops throughout the month of November as well. Thank you for your suggestions and support! Jazak’Allah Khayr!

NOVEMBER 2014 NEWS
Tuesday, November 4th, 2014 Welcome! Assalamu Alaikum! November just started and already there is so much happening! The grade 12 students had a University Application Seminar last week and they learned how to apply. Next week, on Thursday, November 13th, 2014 (see details below), the grade 12 students and their parents will be attending a University Orientation Session. On November 5th, 2014, the grade 9's are to attend the 'Take Our Kids To Work Day' programs around the city. Also on that day, the grade 10's are having workshops relating to Islamic History and the like. The grade 11's and 12's are having workshops simultaneously with RCMP police officers. There are many volunteer opportunities available right now, and several of our students have signed up for these programs, ranging from Saturday sports programs for young children, running activities for the community at the Fun Night, gift-wrapping of goodies for those less fortunate than all of us and helping to prepare meals for the needy in and around GTA. Please see the Guidance Department if you would like to get involved! Continue to enjoy this wonderful fall weather and the gorgeous colours around us, Subhan'Allah! Jazak'Allah Khayr!
