Assalamu Alaykum and Welcome to Arabic Culture School,

On behalf of the leadership team, staff, and volunteers, I am delighted to welcome you and your family to our vibrant Arabic school community.

At the Arabic Culture School (ACS), we offer accredited Arabic classes from Kinder to Year 10 (subject to student enrolments), catering to both native and non-native Arabic speakers. Our dedicated team of over 20 volunteer teachers and support staff work tirelessly to ensure a comfortable and engaging learning environment where your child can thrive in the Arabic language. We strongly encourage parents to play an active role in their children’s educational journey.

For over 30 years, our community has been united by a shared commitment to nurturing a love for the Arabic language and culture. Generations of volunteers have worked tirelessly to ensure that ACS continues to flourish, creating opportunities for community building and cultural preservation.

Last year, we successfully transitioned to a Saturday timetable, aligning with the majority of community language schools in Victoria. This change has allowed us to better meet the needs of our students and their families. Looking ahead, we are preparing to reapply for accreditation with the Department of Education. This important step will further enhance how we organise and deliver our approved curriculum, ensuring we continue to provide the best possible education for our students.

Our school thrives on community support and involvement, and we are eager to strengthen those connections this year. Collaboration between home and school is essential to fostering a positive educational environment and achieving the best outcomes for our students. If you have any concerns, please feel free to discuss them with your child’s teacher or schedule an appointment with the Principal or Vice Principal.

I encourage all parents to get involved wherever possible. It’s inspiring to see how children respond when their parents actively participate in their education and activities. While our teachers are deeply dedicated to your child’s welfare and success, your support and collaboration at home are vital in reinforcing their efforts.

Together, we can build on the strong foundations that have defined ACS for over three decades, continuing to provide an excellent education and a strong connection to Arabic language and culture.

Warm regards,
Samir Elbelli
Principal
