Inset Day - September 10th 2016.
Term 3 Inset Day was held on Saturday 10th September at Abbasi Islamic Centre.
It was a wonderful opportunity for our staff to meet after the long break and get back into the Madrasah mood. An excellent and interactive training session was facilitated by Ss. Nikhat Panjwani and she did an amazing job! It was fun, interesting and gave a new perspective on preparation and lesson planning. With creative activities Ss. Nikhat showed us different techniques that we can use in our classrooms, as well the impact that being prepared can have even on a 5 minute lesson. We look forward to some more great sessions in the future.
I would like to thank the staff who gave up their time to join us in this training session, and for their wonderful company as we shared a meal together. Needless to say, it was disappointing to have cancellations even several on the morning of the Inset Day, it made a huge impact on our preparations for the event, which left us with excess food ordered, resources printed and time spent having to re-plan the details of the Inset Day. This is a sad waste of Madrasah resources and also impacts everyones morale when they have worked to prep these events for weeks ahead. We understand well the meaning of volunteering and know that life brings it's own commitments, Insha'Allah we hope that staff who missed out on this training will be able to make time for future Inset Days.
