What is Student Wellbeing?
The Islamic College of Melbourne provides a safe and supportive learning environment appropriate for each stage of schooling.
Each student is under the guidance of a homeroom teacher and is supported by a speech pathologist, counsellor and other expert staff.
At the Islamic College Of Melbourne, we believe that students are better prepared for learning when they are healthy, safe and happy. Our whole-school approach to student support includes strategies to help identify students’ needs. We take action to meet these needs within the school program then monitor and review progress.
Student Leadership
Leadership opportunities are available at all levels of schooling and all students are encouraged to participate.
In year 3-6, The Islamic College of Melbourne has a vast number of leadership roles for which students can apply, whether it is house captains, the Student Representative Council (SRC) or Junior College Captains in Year 6.
