History	The Canberra Islamic School operates on Sundays from 10am to 1pm at the Canberra Mosque, 130 Empire Circuit, Yarralumla, A.C.T. The objectives of the school are to cater for the religious and linguistic needs of the Muslim children in the Canberra region. The school emphasises the Islamic teachings that are compatible with contemporary world views, particularly peace, tolerance and diversity of views. The Canberra Islamic School are happy to provide a tour of the Canberra Mosque for students from ACT schools and this would include short talks, of a general nature, on Islam and its teachings. ACT schools interested in visiting the Canberra Islamic School may contact the Imam (pastor) of the Canberra Mosque on 6273 2422 or 6273 1911. The enrolment at the School is open to all children aged between 5 and 15 years irrespective of their religious, ethnic, language or race backgrounds. The number of students who have enrolled at the CIS since inception has increased from 20 students in 1981 to around 90 students in 2004; more than 50% of them are female. Currently the school has students from a large number of ethnic groups originating from African, Asian and European countries – which reflects the multicultural diversity of the ACT and Australian society.
Other Information	The School provides Islamic education to young Muslim children from the ACT region. It also organises annual BBQ functions and celebrates the two annual Eid functions as well as other outdoor activities for the students and their families.
