Welcome to the Australian Islamic College of Sydney (AICS) website. This website has been designed to improve communication between the College, students, and parents. The site also provides prospective parents and students and the general public with information about the College.

The Australian Islamic College of Sydney is an independent educational institution offering academic and Islamic education and pastoral care to students of many cultural backgrounds. All activities at the College are guided by Islamic faith, ethos, and values.

The College is committed to developing and implementing the highest quality of educational programs. Central to all teaching programs is a commitment to developing students with skills, knowledge, understanding, and abilities to embrace the challenges of the 21st Century. All programs aim to provide optimal learning opportunities to all students while promoting equity and excellence and instilling Islamic attitudes, values, and principles. In particular, the values of honesty, courtesy, care, and compassion for others, and fair play are seen as vitally important in the development of responsible citizens. They are emphasized in all teaching and learning activities.

The teachers also motivate and challenge the students to take more pride in their studies and bear more responsibilities to enhance their academic performance. Students are immersed in a series of learning experiences that help each student reach their potential. Students also develop skill sets that enable them to pursue their dreams while making a difference in the world.

The highly qualified and experienced teachers work in close partnership with parents at AICS to help all students to achieve their personal best. Also, they groom their students to become respectable and productive citizens of Australia and future leaders of their community and the nation.

It is an honor for me to serve as the Principal of this dynamic and progressive educational institution. I am confident that parents who have chosen to educate their children at AICS will be happy to share a unique and rewarding educational, spiritual, and social experience with our dedicated teaching staff.

The philosophy of the Australian Islamic College of Sydney is to provide an educational environment and programs that facilitate optimal learning opportunities, promote equity and excellence, and instills the Islamic values and principles in all its students.

The College's vision is to become an educational institution of choice in Australia renowned for its ability to guide and educate its students to become model citizens with a high level of academic excellence and Islamic values, morals, and ethics. The College's mission is to provide excellent academic, cultural, artistic, physical, and religious education in an Islamic environment enriched with the values of discipline, mutual care, and respect, to help them develop into well-educated individuals who are:

• Ready to face the challenges of an ever-changing world
• Balanced in intellectual, spiritual, and physical aspects
• Life-long learners
• Prepared to contribute to the development of their community and the broader Australian society.

The Australian Islamic College of Sydney values providing students with the opportunities to enable them to reach their highest possible level of academic, social, and cultural attainment so that they become well-educated, responsible, and religious citizens capable of contributing positively to the development and betterment of their community, the nation and the world as a whole.

The students are taught Islamic values by implementing a strong Islamic Studies curriculum throughout all year levels. Students are taught to respect and value what is stated in the Qu'ran and aim for the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in all that they do and achieve. The students are expected to not only live by these values at school but at all times. To reinforce the Islamic values, students pray the Zuhur (midday) and the Jumah (Friday) prayers at the school. The older students also fast during Ramadan, and all students observe Islamic festivals and holidays.
