Word from the Head of School

Welcome to IPEKA INTEGRATED Christian School (IICS).

We believe that every child is beautifully and uniquely created in the image of God. At IICS, we cherish every moment and opportunity to educate children, preparing them to embrace their future as lifelong learners with firm faith and Godly character. This is the place where children learn and grow, not only in knowledge and skills but also in spirituality and character.

As clearly stated in our expected school-wide learning results, we want our students to become:

  1. Faithful follower of Christ
  2. Independent critical thinker
  3. Effective English communicator
  4. Prepared member of the global community
  5. Academically prepared as a lifelong learner

IICS educators are committed to building strong and positive partnerships with parents, creating mutual understanding, trust, and respect. This positive partnership will result in the children’s positive attitudes about school and learning. May this school be a blessing to the students and their families.

Proverbs 22:6 tells us “start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it”.

Curriculum

Kindergarten

IICS Kindergarten uses Australia’s Early Years Learning Frameworks and the NSW Australian curriculum standards to set their outcomes and plans in order to provide early learning experiences for young students to develop in all areas of development. The outcomes and plans ensure our students to develop foundations for their future learning. Through curiosity-promoting and technology integrating activities, students are introduced to their world and taught to connect to it using God’s perspective. Biblical principals are integrated wholly into all learning activities.To provide a firm foundation for academic excellence and to ensure spiritual development, we include subjects such as:

The teaching and learning activities focus on producing individuals who are articulate, knowledgeable, and of sound character, able to make good decisions and function well as members of a free society. Inside and outside of classroom learning experiences encourage and prepare young students to develop necessary skills, such as communication, critical thinking, collaborative, and reflective skills by exposures to science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics.

Our students have been taking the Higher School Certificate (HSC) Examination approved by the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA), Australia since 2001. The HSC is the high school completion credential awarded by NESA. This diploma certificate is awarded to students who have satisfactorily completed both Years 11 and 12, and who sit for the HSC Examinations in their particular subjects. To further equip our students, we also facilitate PSAT and SAT preparation lessons in Years 10 and 12. In addition, since our school is a certified AP and SAT Test Center, we offer Advanced Placement classes that help prepare students to be more competitive in the university admissions process. Finally, we are also proud to say that our graduates have been admitted to top-ranked universities in North America, Australia, Europe, Canada, Indonesia, and other Asian countries.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS, PARENTS, & ALUMNI SAY

Thank you to IICS for helping me out with my studies and my admission processes. I was really grateful because back in Year 11, I was so struggling to decide which university to go to, but I was fortunate enough to participate in the IICS University Fair where I got to meet representatives of different universities across the world.

Moreover, I would like to thank the IICS teachers who calmly provided me with certification, as well as letters of recommendation that were necessary for my admission process. Really grateful for the IICS teachers and university counselor, who definitely supported and encouraged me throughout the processes.

I remember the first time coming into IICS as a 2-year old, feeling totally foreign. Fast forward 15 years later, and I feel more than blessed with all the opportunities and memories IICS has given me. From the top-notch education, supportive teachers, unforgettable friends, and numerous opportunities to lead, create, and grow inside and outside the school, I’m really grateful to have spent the last 15 years of my life as a student at IICS. Thank you so much, and I will always be a proud Husky for life!

I like to see IICS as a second home. With great friends, wise teachers, and a friendly staff, this school has the perfect environment for my personal growth. Not only am I urged to be academically prepared, but IICS has also inspired me to be spiritually ready for whatever comes. I am grateful that IICS has continuously become a positive influence in the growth of my Christ-like character. This school, along with all the 11 years of memories I made here, will always have a special place in my heart.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS, PARENTS, & ALUMNI SAY
Before IICS, like most teenagers, I was afraid for my future because I didn't know what I wanted to do after graduating. This fear quickly disappeared during my time in IICS, because there were so many things I could try out. I did speeches. I studied Math with the Principal. I even joined the student council. I didn’t do super well on all of them, but IICS gave me enough room to fail properly. With IICS, I am left with a clearer sense of who I wanted to be.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS, PARENTS, & ALUMNI SAY
I have been a student at IICS for eight years. From my experience, IICS is an amazing school due to its virtuous nature. The virtues and values this school holds on to are what truly make this school unique. The school tries its best to implement Christian values into whatever the students are required to do. This reminds students of biblical ethics and encourages them to apply them in their daily lives. To me, morals are one of the most essential things in life. As John Templeton once said, “High ethics and religious principles form the basis for success and happiness in every area of life.

What an honor it is to get this opportunity to write this testimonial for IICS. My husband and I are incredibly blessed to have our son, Phillip, attend IICS. IICS has a solid Christian environment and is committed to uphold Christian morals and ethical standards. They focus not only on education, but on helping us raise our child in a God-fearing and God-centered direction. We are very thankful for IICS. The continuous reinforcement of core Biblical values that students receive at IICS is such a blessing to us as parents. I love how my child has a safe place to grow and nurture good, healthy relationships with other students and teachers. The teachers are so amazing. They keep a good example and show Christian kindness in a personal, educational and spiritual way. The genuine affection and concern that the teachers show the children truly makes IICS a child’s “second home”. It is the extra quality care that the school provides making school a special place. I know it is rare to find a school with all of these outstanding qualities. Therefore, I recommend IICS to friends, family and anyone who wants a wonderful caring and nurturing, learning environment for their child. Thank you for always lifting us up and for believing in Phillip and his future. It is empowering to be a part of a school organization that believes, hopes, and dreams for the best in each child. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the IICS Family!
