  • Draft Eastern District Plan
    Draft Eastern District Plan Submission_id: 31577 Date of Lodgment: 15 Dec 2017 Origin of Submission: Online Organisation name: CLOSEast Organisation type: Community Group First name: Licia Last name: Heath Suburb: 2024 Submission content: See attachment Number of attachments: 1 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Submission to GSC re Revised Draft Eastern City District Plan from CLOSEast (Communities for Local Options for Secondary Education, East) December 2017 Written by Licia Heath, Co-Campaign Director, CLOSEast This submission is made in response to the recent release of the GSC Revised Draft Eastern City District Plan, particularly Planning Priority E3. Please note our previous March submission (enclosed herewith for reference) is still valid and our rationale and objectives are contained in that and unchanged: there is desperate need for a new public high school in Sydney’s East. Within this new submission we focus on tackling assumptions made in the Revised Draft Eastern City District Plan as well as presenting new data and trends CLOSEast have compiled in recent months. The GSC Eastern City District covers a large area that is very densely populated and diverse in nature. For that reason it’s important to define the area of the East this submission focusses on, namely where we believe the crisis is greatest in terms of a lack of public secondary school places: the Waverley and Woollahra LGAs, extending down into the northern border of the Randwick LGA. Why is this part of the East worse than other LGAs? ✓ Larger birth rate than

There have been many successes accomplished by our students and staff this year, and we have an opportunity to refl ect and celebrate the extraordinary talents of those in our incredible community.

We know that behind every high achiever is a crew of invaluable supporters and believers – you too deserve recognition. Thank you. I would also like to thank each and every one of you for welcoming me so warmly into the college this year. It has been an absolute privilege to work with such a talented and inspiring cohort of young people, and the staff that continue to off er their unwavering support to assist in the achievement of the goals and dreams of the students they educate. As we close out the academic year with a series of celebrations and ceremonies, I bid farewell to our 2019 graduates and extend a warm welcome to our incoming students and their families that will be joining us for the fi rst time in 2020, and welcome back to those families who have been with us before. We are currently experiencing a period of enrolment growth at EC and have some very exciting initiatives commencing next year. We can’t wait to share these with you once students return.

Eye-opening and compelling.’ (Lynden Barber, Artistic Director, Sydney Film Festival 2005) A STUDYGUIDE BY MARGUERITE O’HARA www.metromagazine.com.au www.theeducationshop.com.au Silma’s School is an observational documentary directed and produced by Jane Jeffes (inset right).

It is the first documentary to take audiences inside the everyday world of Australian Muslims in the post 9/11 world. INTRODUCTION > Silma and her husband Baheej risk everything to establish one of the first Muslim schools in Australia. Re-mortgaging their home, they lease a block of land from the Federal Airports Corporation in Sydney. Four years later, their dream turns into a nightmare. They discover the land is contaminated. They’ve built their school on a public tip. > Locked in a bitter legal battle, facing bankruptcy and the loss of all they’ve fought SCREEN EDUCATION for, survival is a daily struggle – and a question of faith. > Silma is determined to fight for justice and compensation – but meanwhile, there’s a school to run and the very real question is can the school survive while Silma chases her day in court … > Moving, funny and suspenseful, Silma’s School offers an important insight into the world of Australian Muslims and a generation of Muslims growing up in the West.

  • ISLAMIC-MONUMENTS.Pdf
    1 The Masjid-i Jami of Herat, the city's first congregational mosque, was built on the site of two smaller Zoroastrian fire temples that were destroyed by earthquake and fire. A mosque construction was started by the Ghurid ruler Ghiyas ad-Din Ghori in 1200 (597 AH), and, after his death, the building was continued by his brother and successor Muhammad of Ghor. In 1221, Genghis Khan conquered the province, and along with much of Herat, the small building fell into ruin. It wasn't until after 1245, under Shams al-Din Kart that any rebuilding programs were undertaken, and construction on the mosque was not started until 1306. However, a devastating earthquake in 1364 left the building almost completely destroyed, although some attempt was made to rebuild it. After 1397, the Timurid rulers redirected Herat's growth towards the northern part of the city. This suburbanization and the building of a new congregational mosque in Gawhar Shad's Musalla marked the end of the Masjid Jami's patronage by a monarchy. 2 This mosque was constructed in 1888 and was the first mosque in any Australian capital city. It has four minarets which were built in 1903 for 150 pounds by local cameleers with some help from Islamic sponsors from Melbourne. Its founding members lie in the quiet part of the South West corner of the city. 3 The Cyprus Turkish Islamic Community of Victoria was established in Richmond, Clifton Hill, and was then relocated to Ballarat Road, Sunshine in 1985 The Sunshine Mosque is the biggest Mosque in Victoria, and has extended its services to cater for ladies, elderly and youth groups.
