Our College

In the second year of operation, the school was extended to encompass preschool to year 5 with 60 students at the Buranda site.

Durack Campus

In response to the high growth of enrolments, a new campus was established in 2005 at Durack. This campus is built on 30 acres of land, which allows the positioning of classroom buildings and facilities well away from the hustle and bustle of roads. The adjoining environmental park at the rear of the property enhances the serenity, peace, and quietness of the campus.

The Durack Campus offers education from Kindergarten to Year 12 using syllabus materials from ACEAR (Australian Curriculum a in the from of the Australian National Curriculum) and The Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA), which is the statutory education body of the Queensland Government.

The size of the site at Durack has enabled the construction of sports grounds, provides ample space to build the college mosque, student hostel, and provide ample parking space. The College established a well-equipped multipurpose hall in 2010. The multipurpose hall has classrooms, storage rooms and a commercial kitchen. The hall has the ability to facilitate College and local community functions. It also has a full size stage with professional sound and lighting systems for the staging of college and community events.

NEW FACILITIES 2016-2017

NEW LIBRARY & 3 CLASSROOM PREPARATORY

The administration building and five classrooms with undercroft are currently being constructed and will be ready for the start of 2017 school year. Both buildings will be fully equiped to cater for growing administrative and education needs of the College. Gold Coast Campus:

The Australian International Islamic College established its Gold Coast Campus in January 2010 at 19 Chisholm Road, Carrara on a 10 acre site in order to serve the Gold Coast Community. The Gold Coast Campus offers prep to year 6 primary school and year 7 to 10 secondary school education. The campus has a multipurpose hall which accommodates indoor sports activities, presentations and functions. A new, larger car park has been constructed and new demountable classrooms have been installed to be used by the increasing student numbers.

Reactivating Buranda Campus

In 2013, the Buranda campus was reactivated to provide educational services for prep to year 4 students that live closer to the city. This campus currently has 17 students who join with their Durack colleagues for sports days, extracurricular activities and other events. In 2017 Buranda Campus will cater for students from Prep to Year 6 in its surrounding suburbs.
