Malek Fahd is a school that holds the beliefs and values of Australian culture. Besides being an Islamic school that adds to Australia’s multicultural society, it is also adding to Australia’s revenue system. By expanding the school, we are able to have more students and families enrol which will then increase revenue in the education system as well as increase opportunities for families migrating, further benefiting Australia’s economy. Currently, Malek Fahd is a multi-campus school, with the main campus in South western Sydney, Greenacre. With the multicultural population in Greenace, the school is renowned for its teachings and values as well at the benefits they add to the Australian economy. This is something which can be carried forward to the Beaumont Hills campus if an opportunity is given for an expansion.

There are already several public schools in the area that are larger than this one, so I don't see any reason for objection. The school is taking all necessary steps to minimize any disruption to its surroundings. Many families are eager to send their children here, and with this expansion, the school will be better equipped to serve both its students and the community. I strongly support this expansion and hope the school is permitted to move forward with the proposed plan.

Its a school that holds values and beliefs of being an Australian.
This is an Islamic school that adds Multicultralism is our society. Multicultural schools offer a range of benefits that go beyond just academic learning. Here are a few key ones:

1. **Cultural Awareness and Tolerance**: Students learn about different cultures, traditions, and beliefs, fostering mutual respect and understanding. This helps reduce stereotypes and biases.

2. **Global Perspective**: Students grow up with a broader worldview, which is essential in our increasingly globalized world. They develop empathy and a deeper appreciation for diversity.

3. **Social Skills**: Interacting with peers from different backgrounds helps students build stronger communication and conflict resolution skills. They learn to navigate diverse social situations with sensitivity.

without multicultural schools in the state how are we all to believe that we are all accepted and welcome?

Every child has the opportunity to partake in quality and fulfilling education despite cultural differences and beliefs. Expanding an school will provide multiple opportunities for all students in ensuring they receive the best teaching and learning resources to support their future aspirations.

This is a school that upholds the values and qualities of being an Australian. There is a need for expansion due to the volume of students wanting to attend this private school due to its valuable education. Being an Islamic school it does nothing but enhance our beautiful multicultural communities.

I am writing to express my strong objection to the proposed expansion of Malek Fahd Islamic School. My concerns stem from the significant negative impact this expansion will have on local infrastructure, traffic congestion, pedestrian safety, and the amenity of the surrounding residential area.
Traffic Congestion and Road Safety: The current traffic situation around the school is already untenable. Local roads are frequently gridlocked during peak school hours due to the high volume of vehicles. Almost all students are driven to school, a clear indication that the majority of the student body resides outside the immediate area. This reliance on private vehicles creates a bottleneck that the existing road network simply cannot handle. An expansion of the school will only exacerbate this issue, leading to further congestion, increased travel times for residents, and a heightened risk of accidents.
Lack of Pedestrian Access and Safety: The current road infrastructure lacks adequate pedestrian access, making it unsafe for students at this school and other local schools. The increased traffic volume resulting from the expansion will further compromise pedestrian safety, particularly for younger children. The absence of safe crossing points and designated walkways is a serious concern that must be addressed before any expansion is considered.
Noise Impact: The increased activity associated with a larger school population will inevitably lead to a rise in noise levels. This will disrupt the peace and quiet of the surrounding residential area, impacting the quality of life for residents. The noise generated by student drop-off and pick-up, as well as increased traffic flow, will contribute to an unacceptable level of noise pollution.
Conclusion: The proposed expansion of Malek Fahd Islamic School presents significant challenges that cannot be ignored. The existing local road network is already struggling to cope with the current traffic volume, and an expansion will only worsen the situation. Furthermore, the lack of safe pedestrian access and the potential for increased noise pollution are serious concerns that must be addressed.

It is important to keep the cultural diversity of the community which is the best thing in Australia. Additionally, it is respect to a minority group in the community.

I would like to express my support for the proposed expansion of Malek Fahd Islamic School. As a parent, I believe this expansion will provide opportunities for more children (including mine) to further their education in a supportive and engaging environment.

In addition to the academic benefits, I believe this expansion will offer more extracurricular activities for children in our community,

I sincerely hope that you will consider this expansion
