LIVERPOOL

 

Alhamduillah, all praise belongs to Allah (SWT), The Most High, The Most Benevolent and The Most Merciful. We thank Him for His mercy, blessings and guidance. Al-Faisal College – Liverpool was established in 2015 from humble beginnings and is growing rapidly, both in terms of infrastructure and student population. Al-Faisal College – Liverpool is currently a K-10 school with Year 11 and 12 starting
in the coming year. Stages 4 and 5 are now complete with 21st century facilities that include Science labs, Food and Technology rooms, Computer labs and specialty rooms.

 

The core values of Faith, Knowledge and Success form the basis of our beliefs, practices and teaching. We are a Positive Behaviour Support School, explicitly teaching all students what the values of respect,
ownership, achievement, resilience and safety looks like, sounds like and feels like in various environments within the school. We believe in developing well rounded citizens of the future that hold
the core values embedded in their personality. 

 

The staff at Al-Faisal College – Liverpool are enthusiastic, energetic, dynamic, dedicated and committed to providing a safe and supportive environment. We believe every child can learn, given the right environment. Students have access to research based, well developed, balanced curriculums that are
evidence based. This enables students to become successful, confident and creative individuals that are active and informed citizens for the 21st century.

 

The college provides opportunities for teachers to engage in professional discourse, work collegially within and across the Al-Faisal Colleges and engage in professional development to keep them abreast with current educational trends and best teaching practices. All teachers are encouraged to engage in additional professional development externally.

 

Community values and spirit are important components of the school’s ethos. We immerse the students in various community initiatives to give back to the local and wider community. The SRC annually visits Liverpool Hospital to distribute toys to sick children. The Year 6 students attend the local child care centres to read to the preschoolers and toddlers. We have raised money for organisations such as the Heart Foundation, the Cancer Council, SIDS Foundation, Prada-Willi Foundation, the Australian Farmers, the Country Women’s Association and the Bushfire Relief appeal. To promote respect, tolerance and acceptance all students are involved in The National Day of Action Against Bullying, Harmony Day,
NAIDOC and Sorry Day activities.

 

Creative and Critical thinking is essential for students to be productive in the 21 st century, therefore the STEM programs are introduced from Kindergarten. The Science, History and Geography programs are
embedded with project-based learning that incorporate such software as Scratch, Arduino, TinkerCad, Minecraft and Wix. STEM continues into high school across all subjects. To deepen and extend students’
understanding of topics, they have participated in excursions to the Bathurst Goldfields, Parliament House in Canberra, Featherdale Wildlife, Elizabeth Farm, Warragamba Dam, Power House Museum,

Bicentennial Park and the Blue Mountains. High School students engage in field trips for Geography and History : Penrith Lakes, Australian National Maritime Museum, Cockatoo Island, Taronga Zoo and the
Quarantine Station for Science.

 

The students’ physical needs are met through the physical education programs such as movement, gymnastics, swimming, athletics and traditional team sports. High student students are taught various
sporting skills through their Physical Education subject. Every week students travel off site to participate in aerobic, boxing, fitness training or other sports. 

 

Creative Arts allows students to express their thoughts and feelings of topics and issues being discussed in class through visual arts, music, dance and drama lessons.

 

I thank the parents, the staff and the School Board for their continued support and guidance over the years. We thank Allah Subhaanahu Wa Taala for giving us our success and we look forward to many more successful years Insha Allah.
