Australian Islamic College is an educational institution in Perth, Western Australia. The school was founded in 1986 by Abdullah Magar, with only 50 students. In 2006, it had 2000 students, and over 250 staff, spread over three campuses: Kewdale, Thornlie and Dianella.

History

The school was established by Abdallah Magar as the Muslim Community School in the southern Perth suburb of Kewdale in 1986. In 1990, a second campus was purchased to cater for an increased number of students in Thornlie, which caters for students from grades K-10. In 1996, a third campus was purchased in the northern suburb of Dianella. Then in 2000, he opened Kewdale College in the Perth Metro Zone.

In January 2008 the campuses were raided by the Western Australia Police, the culmination of a 18-month investigation by the Major Fraud Squad.
