Mission Statement

“Together we will share the pleasure of early learning in a most exciting way whilst enjoying our cultural diversity and learning the Arabic language where Islam is our guiding principle.”

Our vision

Marhaba is the first step towards a better and brighter future. We would like to guide our children to become good and true Muslims, developing an excellent character, achieving the best results academically and increasing their spiritually in the modern world. The belief in, and the sincere practice in Islam will enable them to play their positive role in society not forgetting their responsibility of being Allah’s vicegerent.

The application of Muslim’s etiquettes as mentioned in the Quran and practiced in the Sunnah is the best way to inculcate the development of positive character in our children. It is important to encourage good character from an early age for them to become worthy citizens and contribute to New Zealand’s welfare.
