24.01.2022 To celebrate the end of Literacy Week & the end of Term 2, our primary students all participated in Character Day, yesterday, Thursday 18th of June. Dressed as their favourite fictional characters many of our primary students took part and thoroughly enjoyed the activities over the course of the day. Harley Quinn, Wally, Cleopatra, Harry Potter, Iron Man, Wonder Woman, The Joker, and Elsa were just some of the characters that our wonderful students came dressed as. ... We hope all of our students enjoy their break and return fresh for an amazing Term 3!

24.01.2022 Teacher Appreciation Day is here! An occasion that gives us the opportunity to thank and recognize our inspirational teaching staff. All of the teachers here at ICOM have truly gone above and beyond this year to facilitate our students learning journey and we cannot thank them enough.... Our Primary school captains and Secondary school vice captains were given the important task of presenting tailored gift boxes to our teachers individually along with a well-prepared speech. A photo frame was prepared to capture fond memories, with many of our teachers taking part and having their photo taken. We thank all who took part in making this day extra special for our staff as we continue to appreciate our teachers well into the future.

The theme? A new student is starting at ICOM and your teacher tells you that they are having a hard time fitting in. Students were asked to write about how they would approach this situation and what may be the best way to help this new student feel welcome and just feel OK. All of the entries were fascinating and submit in a timely manner, the greatest ones were chosen as our winners which you can take a look at below. Great work everyone!

03.01.2022 Dear respected Parents of ICOM, Assalamu Alaikum, The Well-being Department at the Islamic College Of Melbourne would like to kindly deliver the following message.... As we all are aware, social media is a platform that can be both beneficial and harmful for young minds. While we discourage allowing our students and children from using social media platforms or minimising the exposure to it, the fact is many are still using social media. As a parent, it is vital to monitor what your child is being exposed to, especially during this pandemic where we are flooded with negative news from many directions. Platforms such as Tiktok, Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram, no matter how much they try to filter their content and because of the uncensored nature of these apps; will continue to allow for many inappropriate videos to get circulated around until they are finally reported by other users and removed. This puts your child at risk of being exposed to content that can be aggressive, violent, upsetting, offensive, indecent, and bullying in its nature. Videos appear seemingly innocent at the beginning may contain inappropriate and distressing content. Therefore we urge you to be vigilant with what your child is being exposed to. Such inappropriate content can cause lifetime mental health repercussions, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD), anxiety disorders and negative effects on character. Furthermore, we also urge you to monitor the kind of personal information your child is sharing on their social media such as their full name, address, date of birth and school. This information is both sensitive and private. It will also be highly effective if you have regular discussions with your child on cyber safety, to educate their young minds on how to safely navigate their life online if they are on any of these social media platforms. For further tips and help on the matter, or, if you wish to report any matter that relates to this, please contact the college and ask to speak to the counsellor or any member of the Well-being team. Thank You.

02.01.2022 We are incredibly proud to announce that one of our Senior Debating teams, comprising of Hibah Hashim, Warresha Akhtar & Ibshar Rahman of Year 9 have progressed to the debating finals series against Scotch College after topping the debating ladder, finishing in 1st place above 34 other teams! The regional finals series begins on Sunday the 30th of August, congratulations to all teams who made the finals series and good luck to all participants.

01.01.2022 In our first week of Term 3 the ICOM Debating Team were on assignment with our B & C Grade Debating Teams both arguing against some very challenging opposing teams, still, as a college our involvement in debating is as strong as ever. The ICOM B Grade Team 1 consisting of Ayna Mehicevic, Enaia Marten and Farhad Ahmadi defeated Wesley College by 4 points debating the topic of 'Religious institutions should lose their tax-exempt status' on the negative side. The ICOM C Grade Te...am 2 consisting of Manar Hakim, Kawsar Farah and Maryam Al-Gubri were defeated by St. Kevins College by 1 point debating the topic that 'We should abolish trial by jury' on the affirmative side. Considering we had only been back at school for two days it was a fantastic effort from all students involved. As always, congratulations to our Debating Team, keep up the great work.

01.01.2022 We are proud to announce that the first issue of our student literature magazine, Stylus, has been published.
