We’re excited to announce that Noor Arts is now offering Arabic Calligraphy Courses for adults and children, along with a Tezhip (Islamic Illumination) course for ladies!
🖋️ Why learn Arabic calligraphy?
Arabic is the language of the Qur’an, and writing it beautifully is a form of worship and spiritual connection. Learning calligraphy not only improves your handwriting and understanding of the Arabic script, but also nurtures patience, focus, and a love for the beauty of Islam.
As Muslims, we have a responsibility to preserve and promote Islamic arts — they are part of our identity, our history, and our legacy. Through these courses, children and adults alike can connect with their faith in a creative and meaningful way.
📚 Courses offered:
🔸 Arabic Calligraphy – Adults & Kids
🔸 Tezhip (Islamic Illumination) – Ladies only
📍 Classes in Epping, Melbourne
🗓️ Limited spots available
Details are in attached flyers.

How to enrol and book after school care:
- Register for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) before you enrol (do this through your myGov account)
- Enrol your children via the Extend website: click here
- Nothing needs to be paid upfront.
- Once children are enrolled, you can book either permanently on the same days each week, or casually only when needed.
- The earlier ahead of time that you book, the cheaper the price (refer to attachments below for fees)
- Invoices are sent out every 2 weeks, after using the service. No fees need to be paid in advance.
Child Care Subsidy (CCS) will help reduce the amount you will need to pay for after school care. You can check how much subsidy you are entitled to by clicking here.
To work out how much CCS you are eligible for, Services Australia will look at:
- Your family’s income
- The number of hours you and your spouse work
- The number of children in your care
- The age of your children
Many of our families and children are already enjoying the after school care program – we’d love for your child to be part of it too.
