Secondary Overview

Secondary School is where students grow into confident, capable young adults. From Years 7 to 12, Islamic College of Melbourne provides a balanced education that combines academic excellence with strong Islamic values, helping students develop confidence as learners while strengthening their faith and preparing for the future. As students progress through Secondary School, increasing subject choice and personalised pathways allow them to pursue their strengths, explore new interests and make informed decisions about their future.

Preparing for What's Next

Every stage of Secondary School builds on the last. Students gradually take greater ownership of their learning while developing the knowledge, character and independence needed to succeed in senior secondary and beyond.

Years 7 & 8

Students establish strong learning habits, build confidence and settle into Secondary School through a broad curriculum, dedicated student support and opportunities to discover new interests.

Years 9 & 10

Students explore electives, discover future pathways and prepare for senior secondary through increasing subject choice and personalised pathway planning.

Years 11 & 12

Students complete their chosen senior pathway with the support of experienced teachers, preparing for university, apprenticeships, vocational education or employment after graduation.

Senior Pathways

Every student's journey is different. Islamic College of Melbourne offers Mainstream VCE, DEEP & VCE Vocational Major and the SAP & IB® Diploma Programme, ensuring students can pursue a pathway that matches their strengths, interests and aspirations.
