Muslim Girls Grammar School
Welcome to Muslim Girls Grammar School. My
name is Yasmin Gamieldien and I am both humbled and privileged to be Principal
of Muslim Girls Grammar School.
I have had a long career in education, in both
public and private schools in Australia and overseas. I hold a Bachelor of
Education in Language and Literacy and a Master’s degree in Education.
I have a strong commitment to fulfill the aims
of Islamic education. At MGGS, we aim to:
- Promote the acquisition of knowledge (t’alim) in a
nurturing environment
- Cultivate spiritual and ethical growth according to the
will of Allah SWT (tarbiyah)
- Develop sound social behaviour (ta’dib)
The education of girls is especially close to
my heart with the research showing that,
“When children learn with single-gender peers, they are more
likely to attend to their studies, speak more openly in the classroom, and feel
more encouraged to pursue their interests and achieve their fullest
potential.” Psychology Today
I sincerely believe that every girl deserves
an opportunity to be the best version of herself, and that Islamic education
plays a pivotal role in the development of the whole person.
