irius College was first established in 1997 with only 28 students by a non-profitable organisationcalled “Selimiye Foundation Ltd.”, in the north-western region of Melbourne, Australia. Sirius College is a non-denominational school which welcomes students from all backgrounds, regardless of race, col-our, belief, culture or gender and caters for students from more than 70 different ethnic and religious

backgrounds.

Since its first operation, Sirius College has grown beyond expectations to meet the tremendous demand of the community and has managed to reach over 2500 student enrolments across 5 campuses in 2015. This was made possible by the full support of the community and their abiding concern and generosity.

Sirius College is proud of its reputation as having the highest university offers in the North Western suburbs, remarkably, since its first graduates.

In January 2013, the school name was changed from ‘ISIK College’ to ‘Sirius College’. The name change came into effect after lengthy discussions about the image of the school which had gradually became more diverse over the years. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky and it has been used as a symbol of illumination and light by many cultures in history.

Today, Sirius College plays a leading role in educating young generations with its academic excellence and disci-plined education; and continues to contribute to the future of Australia.

Sirius College is not only an academic school but dedicated to raising individuals with multiple skills in different areas such as sport, music and performing arts.

The school has also run a program with Life Ed Van to develop awareness of health and wellbeing. The department has also organised Athletics Carnival to challenge our students’ athletics skills.

Active Body Programs

As Sirius College started the use of digital technologies more often in communication with school community as well as in school management, most campuses have

started to use digital newsletter to deliver activities, important remarks and share digital contents such as photos and videos. It is important that parents are well-informed that what is happening in the school as they are busy with their work commitments. Digital content is easy to access and refresh the memories of the past.

Digital Newsletter

All campuses have involved in Clean Up Australia day to create awareness in litter management. This program inspires students to learn about

their environment and contribute to their local community. It is a day when students and teachers work together to clean up a site significant to them. The students and their teachers across all campuses cleaned neighbouring parks and the school ground.

Clean-Up Australia

All primary schools of Sirius College have been running clubs after school including Lego, Miss Maker, Super Sketchers, Art etc. Clubs. The primary focus of these

clubs to make the students pursue their own interest and excel their skills in the area of their interest. The club activities also help students to improve their creativity and connection to their peers from different classes and year levels and to the school.

Extra-Curricular Clubs

At Sirius College we implement a ‘Better Buddies’ system, which is designed to support our Foundation students in their first year of school, through working

with grade 5 students as role models. Through positive experiences, our students are learning the importance of caring for others, friendliness, respect, valuing difference and including others. Our lovely buddies in grade 5 came to our class to help us make our “All about me” booklets. We had so much fun with them!

Better Buddies Program

Sirius College students engage in multiple humanitarian campaigns throughout the year. Students not only actively raise donations for orphanages, individuals and families in need

overseas or domestic, but also visit the countries where these donations are distributed. The students across all campuses raised funds to provide food packages for families in need in Thailand and Vietnam in partnership with Australian Relief Organisation. The school community has also supported to fund cataract operations for more than 40 patients. Eastmeadows Campus year 11 students initiated “Bed for Sweet Dreams” to provide beds for Thailand orphanage. The same campus has also run a campaign of opening water wells in Tanzania. 47% of the population has no or limited access to clean water resources in Tanzania. It is estimated that approximately 500 people use and benefit from these wells every day.

Sirius College with all campuses also run many different projects to support Good Friday Appeal. A great effort was made by students and parents of Keysborough Campus to come to school with ‘crazy’ hair. All Primary students of Keysborough Campus contributed and participated in the Good Friday Movie at Lunch. Most campuses have attended “Kids Day Out” at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Ibrahim Dellal Sunshine Campus run “Kind Class-rooms” Project to help homeless in neighbouring area where it is located.
