Dress Code

It is our strong belief that every culture and religion has its distinct identity. As such attending this madrassa provides an excellent opportunity to express our own outward Islamic identity and belonging as a Muslim. We expect all our students to wear uniform at all times from day one unless special permission is given.

Madrassa uniform for boys are:
Jilbaab: Plain white loose garment which reaches just little above to the ankle and must not be below the ankles.

Black Abaayah: Loose fitting clothes for girls 7 years and under
Black Hijaab: (hair, back and chest must be completely covered and the scarf securely fastened)
Footwear: Flat black shoes or trainers
Coat: A black coat must be worn especially in winter

The clothing under the Abaayah should be according to the Shariah and loose. Furthermore, students should not have un-Islamic haircuts. Please note; make-up may not be worn in madrassa and outdoor clothing may not be worn in classrooms.

Students are not allowed to wear:
Shirts, Short skirts, trousers or leggings (Leggings can only be worn under a long loose skirt or dress), Denim clothing, Tight fitting clothing, Dangling items of jewellery.

Attendance & Punctuality

Good attendance is essential if your child is to get the best out of the madrassa then regular attendance ensures madrassa work is always up-to-date and higher standards of education can be achieved.

Students who are not present during register attendance at 3:00 p.m. will be marked late. If a student is regularly late, he or she will be placed on an attendance report and the parents / guardians will be contacted. Parents are requested to send in a note and inform telephonically on 514-998-8992 or 514 991 5766 if their child has been absent. Please include the following information in the note:

  • Name of your child
  • Dates of absence
  • Reason for absence

If your child is likely to be absent for more than a day, please send in a note of explanation as soon as possible or contact the madrassa by telephone. Even if you let the madrassa know about your child’s absence, still send in an absence note.

If you intend to take a family holiday during term-time, you must complete a holiday form and return it to the office. There is no entitlement to leave during term-time unless authorised by the Head Teacher. If leave is given and the pupil fails to return by the approved date then they may be taken off the admissions register. Parents are strongly advised to discuss term-time holidays with the Head teacher before booking any holidays.

Accident / Illness

Progress Report

All students will receive a progress report at the end of each term. Parent’s evenings will be held during the course of the year and parents will get a chance to speak to the teachers about the progress of their child. If a student’s progress is not satisfactory, parents will be informed and meeting would be arranged to discuss. If parents wish to meet teaching staff to discuss progress or related issue, please ring and make an appointment as we cannot meet parents without arranged appointment.
