East Preston Islamic College

East Preston Islamic College, first established in 1998, is a K-12 co-curricular school which provides an excellent foundation for a wide range of academic, Islamic and vocational and training pathways for its students via a comprehensive curriculum.

Our students are empowered to learn and achieve their goals here and hereafter, in line with our school motto ‘Success here and hereafter.’ We provide a nurturing Islamic environment where students are taught skills to lead and use their voice to enact positive change through a curriculum driven by values taught by the Prophet Muhammad (s). We aim to foster a lifelong love for learning and a pursuit of excellence in education and in life.

Our vision at East Preston Islamic College is to prepare the next generation of Muslims to be committed, compassionate and hardworking citizens, who are ready to contribute positively and productively to the Australian society. The College aims to ensure that the diverse needs, achievements and strengths of every individual within our learning community are recognized and celebrated through a supportive environment that builds on the strengths within our unique Islamic community.

We realize the joint responsibility we share in helping your child to grow and develop to their natural and full potential. At East Preston Islamic College, we welcome the active participation and assistance of parents and guardians in our school life.
