Islamic College of Melbourne (ICOM)

The college aims to provide students with the environment and motivation to reach their full potential as healthy, contributing members of the community. Its approach is grounded in productive, cooperative relationships and core values such as respect, responsibility, honesty, and inclusion, while encouraging students to seek knowledge and strive for their best.

The college offers a comprehensive curriculum from Foundation to Year 12, including the Victorian Curriculum for junior years and the VCE for senior students. It also provides the IB Diploma Programme and the 22628VIC Diploma of Islamic Leadership (ILEAD), a three-year pathway for students from Year 10 to 12. Additionally, the Secondary Accelerated Program (SAP) is available for high-ability students in Years 7–9.

The college reports over 100 university offers for its students and maintains a strong focus on both academic and Islamic values. Graduates are prepared for success in further study or community leadership roles, with some students completing the nationally recognized Diploma of Islamic Leadership alongside their VCE.

The college prioritizes student wellbeing and maintains a supportive environment to ensure students experience success. It is a child-safe school committed to the Victorian Child Safe Standards, ensuring all members of the community can learn and teach in a secure, inclusive, and welcoming environment.

The college manages enrolments through a formal application process, which includes an expression of interest or enrolment form and a mandatory placement test. While the college accepts applications, it notes that meeting requirements and performing satisfactorily on tests does not guarantee a position due to limited space. Enrolments for Years 1–6 are currently closed due to high demand, and specific testing days are scheduled for Foundation applicants.

The academic year is divided into four terms. The college operates an administrative office that typically opens in mid-January and closes in mid-December. The calendar includes public holidays, student-free days for report writing, and scheduled parent-teacher interviews at the end of Terms 1 and 3.

The campus is located in Tarneit, Melbourne, and provides students with access to modern educational resources, including laptops and textbooks for junior secondary students. The school maintains a library and dedicated learning environments to support its diverse academic and vocational programmes.

Students participate in a variety of activities beyond the classroom, including inter-school sports and school camps. The college also offers debating and various leadership programs designed to foster personal growth and community engagement.
