Suhbah Clubs
Twice a month, Noon Academy hosts an after school Suhbah Program- once for girls and once for boys. The purpose of this program is to provide students with the opportunity to build collaborative and leadership skills and create lasting bonds with their peers. Through mentorship, targeted workshops, and engaging activities, the after school group aims to provide a safe Islamic environment to foster socio-emotional growth in students from grades 4-8.
At-tarbiyyah An-nabawiyyah Award
Noon Academy’s At-Tarbiyyah An-Nabawiyyah program is a unique method of evaluating and rewarding the overall development of our student’s growth in line with the teachings of our Prophets and Messengers. Throughout the year, teachers will implement monthly character development lessons and use every opportunity to teach character development through examples of our prophets and messengers. At the end of the year, teachers will choose two students (one from grade 1-3 and one from grade 4-8) they believe have demonstrated an overall growth in the following domains: character, spiritually, intellectually, morally, socially, and physically.
School Spirit Days
On the third Wednesday of each month, students and teachers celebrate or commemorate an event or theme of the month together. Past School Spirit days have included; dress up as a hero, dress as your favorite story book character, Heritage Day, crazy hat day, community cleanup day, and career day.
Character of the Month
To promote character building and a great school climate, each month, one positive character trait or value will be highlighted through lessons and activities both within the classroom and the school. Each class will focus their assembly on that month’s character trait or theme.
Assemblies
Monthly assemblies are held after Salatul Dhuhr on the last Thursday of each month. Each class will put together a presentation for the school that is between 10 – 15 minutes. Parents are welcome to join in and watch their child perform in front of the school.
Annual Spelling Bee
Throughout the month of October and November students will collectively and independently learn targeted spelling strategies. To commemorate all their efforts, we hold a spelling bee competition modelled from the National Spelling Bee of Canada’s competition.
Juma’a Bake Sales
Our Juma’a Bake Sales are organized by volunteers every alternate Friday. Each class gets to organize two bake sales per year to raise funds for their classroom supplies, manipulatives and books.
Annual Science Fair
The Annual Science Fair is a fun and engaging extracurricular event that concludes our March Monthly focus on Science and Tech. During March students in grade 3 – 8 participate in a collective mock science fair investigation in their classes based on their current subject of study. After conducting a science fair project in class with their teachers and peers, students can enter our annual science fair expo, where they can display and show off all the amazing science they learned.
Art Expo
At the end of the year, Noon Volunteers collect and display all the amazing artwork done by Noon Students throughout the year. Parents are invited to view Noon Academy’s Art Gallery and also participate in the process of critically reviewing contributions made by students.
