Our superstar staff are onsite and ready to assist, support and comfort our students throughout their learning journey.
During our recent Secondary Awards Night, the College had the opportunity to showcase some of the amazing work coming out of our Visual Communication and Design students and IB Diploma TOK and CAS exhibitions in Secondary.

Thank you to all our ICOM teachers for your contributions, dedication, passion and commitment.
To mark the end of the 2021 academic year for our Secondary students the College held it’s annual Secondary Awards Night where many of our Secondary students received awards, praise and acknowledgement for their tireless effort and invariably high results in their subject of choice for 2021.

Join us in congratulating our Class of 2021 Year 12 students on their recent Year 12 Graduation! Despite the adversities that our Year 12 students have faced, they have shown perseverance and great tenacity throughout their VCE studies, all graduating with great success, with some even receiving awards in their selected field of specialization. Once again, the College wishes our Year 12 graduates all the very best in all that they pursue, and we ask Allah SWT to bless them and their families in this life and the hereafter.
