This year’s 9th Islamic Schooling Conference places a deliberate focus on the tarbiyah of the educator, recognising that lasting renewal does not begin with programs, policies, or structures, but with the inward formation, outward character, and moral example of those entrusted with teaching and leadership. This emphasis shapes every aspect of schooling, from classroom practice and curriculum to leadership and school culture.

& Juliet flips the script on one of the world’s most famous love stories and asks the question, “What if Juliet chose her own ending?” This vibrant, hilarious musical follows Juliet as she refuses to die for Romeo and instead embarks on a journey of self-discovery with her friends, new and old.
