Latest School Announcements
Congratulations to our Yr. 3 and Yr. 5 students and teachers who achieved some outstanding NAPLAN 2008 results.
- In Yr. 3 87% of our students scored on or above the national average in literacy and 79% scored on or above the national average in numeracy
- In Yr. 5 83% of our students scored on or above the national average in literacy and 73% scored on or above the national average in numeracy. In Yr. 5 no student scored below a Band 5 for literacy.
It is also significant to know that the majority of students who did not score on or above the national average were very close to it as reflected in the absence of our students from the lower bands. No Arkana student in any year failed to meet the national standard in any subject.
This is a truly remarkable result and positions us well to be considered amongst the better performing schools in the region, the state and indeed the nation. It was very encouraging to see other Islamic schools also achieve excellent results. This is reflective of the commitment to excellence in the Islamic schools sector to which Arkana is a proud member
I am most proud of these results and look forward to an even stronger performance in 2009 Insha’ Allah.
Mr. Karolia
Principal

The Arkana girl’s senior soccer team were crowned the ASSISA WEST soccer champions for 2008 after their stunning 4-0 victory over Al Noori Muslim School at Gosling Park, Greenacre on Thursday August 28th.
After leading 1-0 thanks to some strong defence and fine goal keeping at the half time break the girls were inspired by their coach Ms. Boothroyd’s words and fired a further 3 unanswered goals into the back pf the net during the second half.
All 4 of Arkana’s goals were scored by the awesome scoring machine Noora Hijazi, our best player throughout the year. The team was cheered on by a small but vocal band of parents and the Principal.
The team were quick to remind the Principal of his promise to send them to Luna Park for a day if they won, he promised the team that he would be delighted in sending them to Luna Park as a reward.
Arkana looks forward to similar success next term with the boys competing in oztag and the girls in netball.
