National award-winners: Minaret College

Minaret has a lot to celebrate.

This year marking its 30-year anniversary, Minaret College has had a lot to celebrate in 2022.

Recently the college added the title of national award-winners to one of its many reasons to celebrate.

On Saturday 6 August, Minaret College was announced the winner of the Crescent Awards School Innovation and Renewal Award in Sydney.

Crescent Awards are Australia-wide and acknowledge, showcase and celebrate educators, teams, leaders and Muslim learners who are achieving success and making an outstanding contribution to the community.

With a philosophy of continuous improvement and being student-centered, since starting his role as executive principal, Mohammed Taksim and his team have been working hard to take the college from good to great.

Speaking of the recent win, Mr Taksim shared: “We had strong foundations to build on, but this award, judged independently by prominent educational leaders, validates our directions and efforts.”

“We still have opportunities for improvement, but we’re focused on the right priorities and making transformative changes for the better.”

Minaret College is a school of choice for more than 2500 students across three campuses – Springvale, Officer and Doveton.

Integrating Islamic values into the Victorian curriculum, including numeracy, literacy, Quran, Arabic and Islamic studies, the vision of Minaret College is to provide an environment where young Muslim students flourish.

Parents interested to know more about the college are encouraged to request a tour on 9574 0567.
