    VCE Coordinator & VASS Coordinator (Secondary)

    Before teaching, Kazi developed his communication, team work, organisation and initiative skills through his employment experiences in International Engineering and Shipping organisations. His Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Education degrees from Monash University provided him with the theoretical grounding that assisted him to integrate learning across content areas. The practicums which were completed in Mazenod College, Mount Erin College and Hampton Park Secondary College assisted him to develop his professional approach to teaching.

    Kazi joined Darul Ulum College of Victoria in 2012. He reinforced his teaching skills by teaching secondary and VCE Mathematics. In 2014 and 2015 he mentored several student teachers. In 2016, Kazi became the school coach conducting EBOs (evidence based observations) in the class rooms. Moreover, as a coach he was involved in the training and conducting PD’s for teachers. These experiences developed his pedagogical content knowledge. He became the VCE and VASS Coordinator in 2017.

    Kazi strongly believes that the best teacher is the best learner, who should be proactive to embrace educational innovation and change.

    Year 7&8 Discipline Coordinator AND Secondary Art Coordinator (7-10)

    Ms Rayan Moubarak is a former Darul Ulum graduate who completed a ‘Bachelor of Outreach and Community Education’ degree at La Trobe University. She feels honoured to return to the college as a qualified teacher and work alongside some of her very own teachers. Ms Rayan always enjoyed art remarkably as a student and carries the joy for art as a teacher. She believes that a great teacher is not one that simply transfers their knowledge onto their students, but one who loves the discipline they teach and radiates their passion and zeal for the subject through to their students by turning any topic into an engaging, fun, hands-on learning opportunity. Undertaking the role of Art Coordinator motivates her to continually create art, exhibit art in some way, and share her talent with her students and the wider school community.

    As for discipline, Ms Rayan is experienced in building rapport with students, communicating and collaborating with others and handling conflicts. She expresses that graduating with an Outreach and Community Education degree, has helped her further develop her emotional intelligence, assisting students in dealing with their emotions and behaviour, coping with stress, overcoming challenges and fostering positive relationships. Pursuing the role and responsibilities of level coordinator allows her to utilise her critical thinking and decision-making skills in community work to analyse and evaluate situations, identify opportunities, generate alternatives and implement the best course of actions when dealing with students. She believes that cultivating empathy amongst students is key in creating a safe and harmonious learning environment. By interacting with students, she has learned to understand and share the feelings and needs of others. She strives to instil compassion and kindness in all students to encourage peer support and social awareness among the student body which will in turn, lessen the burden of students facing challenges and hardships in their daily lives. She believes empathy skills are important to develop in students from a young age to enable them to connect with others, build trust and foster collaboration. Being In tune with her students allows her to pick up on social and environmental issues which she is able to address and tackle with other leaders of the school community to guide students into becoming socially and emotionally healthy human beings.
