Nurturing Curious, Courageous and Compassionate Students
At Illawarra Christian School, we believe education is most powerful when it feels like an extension of home. We partner closely with families to nurture students who are not only well-prepared for life beyond school, but also deeply known and cared for along the way.
Nestled in the foothills of Mt Kembla, just 6km from Wollongong’s city centre, ICS is a vibrant preschool to Year 12 community of around 900 students. We’re known across the Illawarra for our strong academic results, our Christ-centred approach to learning, and the genuine care we extend to every student.
Thinking about Senior Secondary?
The final years of school shape so much of what comes next. If you’re considering a change for Year 11 or 12, we’d love to talk with you about what makes ICS a great place to finish well.
Here’s what sets our Senior Secondary experience apart:
Small class sizes and personalised attention
A wide range of subjects, including all levels of English and Maths
Support for non-traditional pathways, including VET and traineeships
Weekly one-on-one mentoring with a dedicated staff member in Year 12
Strong HSC results and high rates of early university entry
No hidden costs – just one clear, all-inclusive fee
Limited Places – Plan Ahead
Due to strong demand and limited capacity across most year levels, we are currently operating with long waitlists. If ICS is the right fit for your family, we encourage you to apply at least three years in advance of your preferred start date.
We offer group tours each term, and we’d love to welcome you on campus to experience our community firsthand. If our scheduled tour dates don’t work for your family, please reach out — we’re happy to arrange a personal tour where possible.
While we can’t guarantee a place, we can promise a warm welcome and honest conversation about your options.
