Silma Ihram
http://www.silmapol.blogspot.com/
Silma Ihram was born Frances Anne Beaumont, and grew up in the suburb of
Balgowlah, on Sydney's Northern Beaches. She accepted Islam more than 25 years
ago after travelling to Indonesia and is widely seen as a pioneer of Islamic
schooling in Australia. A founder and Principal of Noor Al Houda Islamic
College, her battle to save her school whilst ensuring her family's economic
survival, became the subject of a documentary, Silma's School. Screened in 2006
at the Sydney Film Festival, and on SBS and ABC TV, the film received positive
reviews and was greeted with a standing ovation, and a sold-out premiere in
London. This battle earned her the description 'Erin Brockovich in a Hijab'.
In 2002, Sis Silma was a recipient of the Centenary Medal, and in 2005 was
named Australian Muslim Woman of the Year. She was also awarded for her
contributions and efforts in the community, at the 2006 Women of Faith, Dinner
& Awards.
In 2006, with the merger of Noor Al Houda Islamic College and Australian
International Academy, Sis Silma was appointed Education Consultant, allowing
her time with her family and other projects. She very often participates in
forums and debates regarding issues pertaining to education, racism and
Australian Muslims, and contributes opinion pieces and interviews with media
sources. A woman of diverse talents and accomplishments, Sister Silma was a
candidate for the Australian Democrats in the 2007 state and federal elections.
Married with six children, she is the author of two books, 'Bridges of Light'
and 'Islamic Parenting' and the producer of an educational video in Arabic
called 'Their First Years'.
Sis Silma holds a Diploma of Education and Masters of Education Administration
and has held a number of executive posts with Muslim organizations in
Australia. Currently she is the Vice-President of the Muslim Women's National
Network of Australia, and Secretary General of the Australian Council for
Islamic Education in Schools.
She now teaches and works as a consultant in the area of education & Muslim
community relations and is studying a research degree in 'Understanding the
Development of Identity in Adolescent Muslim Lebanese Youth'.
"This woman is one of my Aussie Muslim super-heroes".
(Irfan Yusuf http://aussiemossie.blogspot.com/)
"Silma's School is more than a documentary about a successful court case; it is
about gaining justice as a Muslim and winning against the odds."
(The Manly Daily, 26/6/06)
