rds recognise ailblazers This major award acknowledges, showcases and celebrates Muslim learners who reflect the ongoing effort of becoming a balanced human being (“al-insan al mutawazin” ) – aspirationally following the Prophet’s (s) example. Crescent Wealth Deputy Managing Director, Miriam Silva AM said the awards provided a tremendous opportunity to showcase the many passionate and talented Muslim educators, students and school administrators in the wider Australian community not just in Muslim institutions. Ms Silva pointed out that, “the Australian
Muslim community has grown to around a million people, who through all walks of life are now making a major contribution to Australia. A new generation of Australian Muslims is emerging through our schools and educational settings and the communities they serve.” “Through the Crescent Awards we want to recognise those young people who demonstrate outstanding achievement, contribution and service, and the leading educators, educator teams and schools who enable
them to excel and pave the way for a brighter future for our community and our society. It is their time to shine,” she concluded. Mr Talal Yassine OAM, Managing Director, Crescent Wealth while congratulating all the winners as well as the finalists thanked the award partners, sponsors, judges and the volunteers for making the event a great success.
