East Â鶹Éç Islamic College (EPIC) offers a three-year senior program, providing Â鶹Éç with the opportunity to commence their senior year studies in year 10. The program reflects our desire to assist Â鶹Éç to have a strong future direction and develop skills that will lead them to a successful life beyond school.
We are proud to be able to offer a comprehensive and stimulating Senior Years program that will meet the diverse needs of Â鶹Éç. Our Â鶹Éç can complete the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) or the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL). A range of Vocational Education and Training (VET) units are also offered, enabling Â鶹Éç to combine their VCE studies with vocational training.
Year 10 is a time of preparation for Years 11 and 12 studies with a great emphasis on exploring career pathways and developing academic and vocational skills.
In addition to compulsory subjects such as English and Maths, all Â鶹Éç will have the opportunity to undertake a VCE/VET study, giving them a valuable insight into the VCE and VCAL process. Extended counselling from within the school will support Â鶹Éç in choosing subjects and planning their pathways through the senior years.
All Year 10 Â鶹Éç also have access to work education programs that allow full exploration of future career options and development of employability skills.
A special one-week ‘Headstart’ program further prepares Â鶹Éç for Year 11 and 12 studies.
In years 11 and 12, Â鶹Éç complete either VCE or VCAL. Both are recognised qualifications providing pathways to further study or employment.Â
Our learning program in years 11 and 12 is designed to develop Â鶹Éç’ autonomy, commitment and self-reliance. We believe these are crucial skills and dispositions that will help Â鶹Éç transition smoothly to tertiary education, further training or employment.
We teach and support senior Â鶹Éç on how to set their own learning goals and reflect on their learning. Ongoing feedback is integral to our teaching and learning framework, allowing Â鶹Éç to identify their strengths and weaknesses and plan the next learning step.
At EPIC, we cultivate resilience and positivity in our Â鶹Éç by showing the value of hard work and encouraging Â鶹Éç to adopt growth mindset language.
Our mission is to provide a positive
learning environment where staff and Â鶹Éç work cooperatively to achieve their best, developing a commitment to continuous learning. The core values of the school are learning, achievement, respect, commitment and fairness.
 We acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of the land we pray, teach, and learn on, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
