Ilim College

Since 1995, Ilim College has prided itself on fostering an environment for students to explore their potential for excellence and achievement, while incorporating the tenets of Islam into their everyday learning experiences.

With over 2200 students across four campuses and two Early Learning Centres, the continued success of the College can be attributed to a highly-dedicated team of principals, teachers and staff, as well as the continued strong support of our most important partners, our parents and the local community.

At Ilim College, we believe each of our students is on a personal journey. From the moment they first join the extended Ilim family, utmost importance is placed on their smooth transition through the various stages of their schooling experience.

Whilst our students ‘Advance through Knowledge’, Ilim College encourages all students to become active civic participants who are positive contributors to the social cohesion of our society. To this end, Ilim College celebrates the richness and diversity of over forty different cultural groups present within the student population at the College.

Through engagement of the heart and mind, a student at Ilim College will look forward to many highly rewarding educational and personal experiences. New academic vistas will be explored, new friendships will be made, and new perspectives on life will be developed.

Ilim College fosters an environment where each student can explore his or her individual potential for academic excellence and personal achievement, while incorporating the tenets of Islam into their every day learning experiences. Ilim College has set goals that will enhance its mission and firmly connect it to the wider Australian community. We aim to:

• Be innovative and responsive to the contemporary world through exploration and adoption of educational strategies that enhance teaching and learning.
• Build a closer educational partnership between parents, teachers and students. We seek to have parents more closely involved in every facet of their child's education and collectively demonstrate Ilim College values.
• Meet the individual learning and development needs of each student. Every student deserves to be taught in a way that enables them to reach their potential in whichever area/s they excel.
• Use contemporary teaching tools and methods to better integrate Islam into our curriculum and co-curricular activities. We aim to enable our students to explore their understanding and practice of Islam and how they connect with it beyond the classroom and as part of Australian society.
• Naturally connect to the wider Australian community. We are taking on leadership projects, conducting community conversations, and joining programs that enable the community and the College to learn more about each other in a cooperative, mutually beneficial environment.
