Turkish Bilingual International School International Maarif School of Australia is an independent, co-educational school with an anticipated enrolment of approximately 750 students from K–12 and approved by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). All nationalities are welcome to our school to participate in a quality education reflecting both the Australian and Turkish cultures, giving students a bilingual and bicultural education. Maarif’s education is student-focused; seeking to integrate the pursuit of academic excellence, the acquisition of skills and the development of the student’s character. Teachers join the Gallipoli Campus with varying levels of experience and expertise, including new graduates, and as such appropriate professional learning, sharing, support and mentoring are vital to ensure the school retains and develops its teachers. Teacher Accreditation and Appraisal are processes that support and promote quality teacher but further to this are the professional practices integrated into the everyday approach to teaching at the school.
