Extra Curricular

Our endeavour at Islamia is always to help our girls to become well-rounded young Muslim women with self-confidence and integrity. Extra curricular clubs add an energy and vitality to a school that in turn has a positive effect on academic work and everyday school life.

With the support of Friends of Islamia, our parent body, we have been able to provide a number of enjoyable and fun activities this year, many of which are regularly run to allow girls the opportunity to attain to an advanced level.
