High School Curriculum

At Australian Islamic College the curriculum fulfills the requirements of School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) and Department of Education. Learning experience across eight learning areas are provided to students in Year 7, 8, 9 and 10.

High School Learning Areas

English

The English curriculum is built around three interrelated strands: language, literature and literacy. Together, the strands focus on developing students’ analytical, creative, and critical thinking and communication skills in all language modes namely, listening, reading, viewing, speaking, writing and creating.

Humanities and Social Sciences

The Humanities and Social Sciences are the study of human behaviour and interaction in social, cultural, environmental, economic and political contexts. The Humanities and Social Sciences have a historical and contemporary focus, from personal to global contexts, and consider challenges for the future.

Technologies

Technologies enrich and impact on the lives of people and societies globally. Society needs enterprising students who can make discerning decisions about the development and use of technologies, develop solutions to complex challenges and contribute to sustainable patterns of living.

Vocational Education and Training

Vocational Education and Training (VET) department at the Australian Islamic College has again achieved a 100% success rate last year which not only made students who completed a Vocational Education course job ready with all the necessary skills in their chosen course, but played a major role for many in achieving their WACE graduation certificates last year.
