Qld: We love and perform the anthem, Muslim school says

Students at an Islamic school in Brisbane sang Advance Australia Fair at an end of
year assembly today .. as a furore erupted over claims it had banned the anthem.

The Courier Mail reported a memo had been sent to teachers at the Australian International
Islamic College in Durack in July .. saying singing Advance Australia Fair was put on
hold.

School trustee KEYSAR TRAD says a decision was made not to sing the anthem at their
daily assembly .. but it's performed at every special function.

He says trustees and the board will meet to discuss the logistics of performing the
anthem at every school assembly.
