Malek Fahd Islamic School (abbreviated as MFIS) is a multi-campus independent Islamic co-educational primary and secondary day school, with its main campus located in the south-western Sydney suburb of Greenacre with smaller campuses in Hoxton Park and Beaumont Hills, New South Wales, Australia.
[10][2] The campus has a modern two-story building which caters for students from Hoxton Park, Liverpool, Lurnea, Hinchinbrook and Prestons.
Malek Fahd Islamic School teaches according to the NSW Board of Studies mandated syllabuses.
[5] In 2013 NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli expressed grave concern at the school's HSC curriculum.
[13] However, the subject offerings at the school remained limited and continued to disadvantage students who would excel in the social, rather than natural, sciences.
[16][17] In November 2013, the school faced closure due to problems associated with its attendance-approvals, its HSC curriculum, educational quality, safe environment and its buildings.
It was reported in 2015 that the school commenced legal proceedings for unpaid tuition fees against the student's parents.
[19] In November 2015 the school sought an injunction in the NSW Supreme Court to remove the governance of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils.
[1] In September 2016, initiated civil proceedings against the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils in the Supreme Court of New South Wales for damages as the result of a breach of fiduciary duty and for above-market rents.
[27] On 3 April 2016, following a request by the school, an internal review conducted by the Federal Department of Education upheld the initial decision to revoke funding.
[34] In July 2019, it was revealed that Joanna Natalie Senior, a former prison psychologist who was fired for having a relationship with a Skaf gang rapist, and who married another member of the notorious child rape gang (led by Bilal Skaf),[35][36] was working with children as a school counsellor at Malek Fahd.
