NSW Land and Environment Court approves Islamic Campus at Bass Hill Sydney
An Islamic school has won
its battle to build a new campus for 1200 at Bass Hill in Sydney's south-west.
The New South Wales Land and Environment Court yesterday upheld Al Amanah
College's appeal against Bankstown Council's refusal of its development
application, issuing an approval subject to several amendments.
The Council had twice rejected the proposed campus next to Bass Hill High School
on grounds such as traffic and noise. At the time one Bankstown councilor also
said some residents were opposed to the school on 'religious grounds.' The
Principal of Al Amanah College, Mohamed El Dana, says the court's decision is a
positive step for the Bass Hill area.
Al Amanah College
Al-Amanah College
Bankstown Sydney was established in 1998. Its academic message started by
opening classes from kindergarten through to year three. The College ascended
the ladder of education through an effective policy, until it launched grade six
in the year 2001. Meanwhile, the Liverpool Campus was partly under construction
and opened the following year in 2002. Currently the college enrolls more than
six hundred students with aims to continue ascending the educational levels, by
the will of Allah the Exalted.
Qualified and certified experts monitor the College's teaching process.
Al-Amanah College is considered to be a leading model for schools that offer a
bilingual teaching curriculum with neither exaggeration nor neglect. For this
reason the college has become the hope of parents who see through it a bright
and distinguished future for their children. They anticipate and expect their
children to form a new generation that will advance within the future Australian
community.
