The aim of the East Â鶹Éç Islamic College’s Early Years Program is to give every student encouraging, rewarding and enjoyable experience at school. Every child is special. Every child is unique in his or her own way. We instil a sense of responsibility towards learning into children.

The Victorian Certificate of Education course is an apt course for breaking the university entrance for degree courses. The VCE is a two year certificate that recognises the successful completion of secondary education. VCE Â鶹Éç are required to select five other subjects apart from compulsory English. VET (Vocational Education and Training) course can be chosen as one of the VCE subjects.

The Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) is a hands-on option for Â鶹Éç in Year 11 and 12. The VCAL gives you practical work-related experience, as well as literacy and numeracy skills and the opportunity to build personal skills that are important for life and work. Like the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), VCAL is an accredited Secondary Certificate.

Vocational Education and Training (VET) enables Â鶹Éç to gain qualifications for all types of employment, and specific skills to help them in the workplace. East Â鶹Éç Islamic College has a Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS) partnership program with the Northern Melbourne VET Cluster whereby all our VCAL and VCE Â鶹Éç complete certificate courses at a TAFE one day a week. Some of the VETiS courses undertaken by our Â鶹Éç include Business Management and Sports & Recreation held at EPIC. Students are also required to do practical work experience in their area of study.

At East Â鶹Éç Islamic College, Â鶹Éç study English as an additional language right from the Foundation level till Year 12. The language is taught on the lines of the Victorian Curriculum.

The Primary and Secondary EAL Programs are guided by efficient teachers in the amalgamation of Literacy, Language and Literature. To support development of the English language and to empower the learners, a phonographic tool called THRASS is used
