Playford College aims to provide a broad, rigorous, engaging and challenging learning program for all students.
The curriculum is designed to cater for the whole child, providing opportunities for children’s spiritual, physical, mental, social and emotional growth. The Australian Curriculum in major learning areas shapes the Playford College curriculum.
Sacred time is provided each day for children to learn to, and implement, prayer. Students from Foundation to Year 2 have this devotional time in their classrooms while Years 3 to 6 meet every day in the Prayer Hall for corporate prayer. The Illumination staff team provides teaching about faith, the Holy Quran, the Prophets and Ahlul Bayt, as well as their stories and how we can live our lives as the creation of Allah.
