On Friday (tomorrow) we will be visiting an Islamic mosque.
We will be leaving school at 8.00am and will return before 11.00am.
As Friday is a special day of worship at the mosque we will show our respect by dressing in loose, clothing and try to cover our arms and legs. We also ask the girls to wear a head covering or scarf while they are in the mosque. We will be listening to the Imam talk about the beliefs and practices of Islam and will be able to observe prayer.
We ask the boys to wear - long pants and if possible long sleeves.
We ask the girls to wear - long pants, long sleeves and bring a scarf to wear in the temple.
Students can change back into comfortable shorts and t-shirts when we return to school.
All students will need to bring their snack and water bottle on the bus. We will be back before lunch.
Here are some students visiting the mosque wearing a headscarf in previous years.
