Alhamdulillah, as we come to the end of another remarkable year at New Madinah College, I am humbled and grateful for the incredible progress we have achieved by the Will and Grace of Allah, and through the dedication, unity, and hard work of our entire staff cohort. This year has truly been one of growth, achievement, and blessings.

The Islamic Schools Association of Australia extends its profound condolences to the victims,
their loved ones, and all those impacted by this tragic loss of life. Our thoughts and prayers are
with every individual and family experiencing sorrow, distress, and hardship at this deeply painful
time.
We strongly denounce the taking of innocent lives and reject violence in all its forms, including
acts driven by hatred or extremism. Such actions are fundamentally incompatible with the
principles of humanity, justice, and compassion that underpin our shared society.
We stand shoulder to shoulder with all affected communities and reaffirm our collective
commitment to peace, respect, and human dignity. The preservation of human life is sacred,
and no cause, ideology, or belief can ever justify violence against the innocent.
In these sensitive circumstances, we urge calm, unity, and measured response. We encourage
the community to seek information from reliable and authoritative sources and to refrain from
speculation or the spread of misinformation that may deepen fear or division.
Australia’s enduring strength lies in its diversity and in our capacity to come together during
times of crisis. We call on all Australians to support one another with empathy and compassion,
and to work together towards healing, understanding, and social cohesion.

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to New Madinah College — a vibrant K–10 Islamic learning community nestled in the beautiful town of Young, Australia’s Cherry Capital, in regional New South Wales.

At New Madinah College, we believe that true education nurtures both the mind and the soul. Our vision is to develop young Australian Muslims who are grounded in Islamic values, confident in their identity, and equipped with the knowledge and skills to contribute positively to society.

We take great pride in offering a balanced curriculum that harmonises academic excellence with spiritual growth. Our dedicated teachers deliver high-quality education aligned with NESA standards, while our Quran, Arabic, and Islamic Studies programs ensure students remain connected to their faith and heritage.

Being situated in the tranquil surrounds of Young provides a unique environment for learning — one that fosters a sense of peace, reflection, and appreciation for Allah’s creation. Our students learn not only in classrooms but also through meaningful experiences that build character, resilience, and gratitude.

We are also committed to nurturing the whole child — academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. From our Sunnah Sports Program and outdoor learning experiences to our leadership and service initiatives, every aspect of our school life is designed to help students embody the values of adab (manners), ihsan (excellence), integrity, and compassion.

At New Madinah College, education is a partnership between the school, the home, and the wider community. Together, we work to inspire our students to seek knowledge, act with sincerity, and live as confident ambassadors of Islam in contemporary Australia.

It is an honour to lead this wonderful school and to witness the growth, curiosity, and faith of our students each day. I warmly invite you to explore our website and learn more about what makes New Madinah College such a special place in the heart of Young, NSW.
