Islamic College Of Melbourne, Tarneit | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

School admin has no idea when I asked her questions about enrolment. All she could say they stopped taking admission form for year 1 to 6 and only can apply for prep . She told me that they haven’t taken any admission form for last 2 years as they have too many people on waiting list .so the people applied for year 1 two years back still going to attend year 1 in 2025 /2026 ? When I requested to submit the form for expression of interest I was told it’s not possible coz no one ever leave this school and there will be no spots available . Very disappointing response.

I have got to say generally Icom is a top Islamic school, everyone here incredibly gifted and talented but overall, it is over hyped and overrated. Be prepared for the work overload, you will receive a lot of homework and expected to complete it in a few days. It is really draining and tiring, children are losing sleep due to this. Yes, some teachers do have favourite students and will treat them differently in comparison to others. If you look at the academic results, they are impressive. But their way of education for certain subjects is worse than public, they do teach the same stuff as other schools nothing special or different really. The main difference is the community of kids, most people who get in are smart, this is not due to the school’s way of teaching. Though this is an Islamic school people do bully unfortunately. In Arabic they don’t teach you any rules or the way of understanding, you memorise that’s. Enrol your child if you want but it’s honestly overhyped as there are many other great private schools.

I love this school I’m right now using my dads phone so anyways I came to the school in 2019 I’m right now in the 4th grade I love it here it’s big the teachers are lovely but what I love more are when students announce a speech lots of people may think it’s lame but it really dose teach you a lot!

These guys apparently do a kinder kid’s entrance test just to create a hype to demonstrate how good the school is. When you ask for feedback, they have none. They come up with all kinds of stories. The fact apparently is that the kids are already pre selected based on nationality and they reserve the seats for girls given one of the parents said that girls apparently cooperate better than boys and this will allow school to get better grades. Wasting parents’ time is not appreciated, and playing with kids emotionally is a NO. There are lots of schools out there better than this school and I can guarantee. Zero stars to the way they conduct fake entrance test of little kids and all fake stories they come up with!

Great school but when I jammed my finger while playing basketball, I went to a teacher and told her what happened, but instead of helping me she just said if it hurt you would of been crying and I explained why it would get swollen but she didn’t care so I went to a different teacher and before I told her, she said to me where my hat is because I took it off. I was devastated. After, my finger got swollen a lot. I went to another teacher and she finally understood me and gave me a sick bay note. I’m not sure how teachers don’t know what a jammed finger is, maybe they ain’t ever played no sports…
ALSO WE NEED MORE BASKETBALL COURTS, MAN.
