Principal’s Message

Situated metres from the ocean on the beautiful South Coast of Australia, Amity College Illawarra is a coeducational school that embraces students from Kindergarten right through to Year 12, offering a truly unique educational journey. We see the advantage in a continuous, integrated learning environment where older students mentor younger ones, and our dedicated teachers can foster deep, long-term relationships with every student and their family.

We believe in nurturing the whole child, ensuring they are not only well-prepared for the HSC and beyond but are also resilient, ethical, and compassionate citizens. Our primary goal is to provide a comprehensive education that balances academic excellence with a strong focus on personal development, guided by these values:

• Respect: Fostering mutual regard for all individuals and the environment.
• Responsibility: Encouraging students to be accountable for their actions and their learning.
• Integrity: Upholding honest and strong moral principles in all interactions.
• Compassion: Promoting empathy and kindness towards others in our community.
• Excellence: Inspiring every student to strive for their personal best in all endeavours.

We are proud of our broad curriculum that encourages critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. Outside the classroom, our students have the opportunity to engage in a wide range of co-curricular activities, including sports, the arts, community service, and leadership programs, all designed to help them discover their talents and passions while embodying our core values. We want our students to be academically curious, hardworking and equally proud of their backgrounds, no matter what culture, religion, or philosophy.

Partnership and Community

A strong partnership between home and school is essential to a student's success. Our school is a close-knit community, and we value the active involvement of our parents and families. We encourage open communication and collaboration to ensure every student feels safe, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential. We want our students to be comfortable in their cultures, and grow to extend themselves and be active citizens of their nation.

I invite you to visit our campus and experience the spirit of our school firsthand. You will see a welcoming environment where students are happy, engaged, and learning at every stage of their development.
