Ilim College Interfaith Visit
24 October 2023

A group of Year 9 and 10 students recently visited Ilim Islamic College, following an invitation from their interfaith group.

As part of their visit, our students were welcomed into the school mosque and offered an introductory prayer. They were also given a tour of this sacred space, hearing students read from the Qur’an, and being introduced to the sajjādas (prayer rug), misbaha (prayer beads) and the mihrab.

The visit was also a social occasion, with time spent in conversation and a shared meal. Sacred Heart students and staff were humbled by the hospitality of Ilim College, who provided a delicious feast for lunch. The shared hope of both communities is that this is the first of many interfaith visits to occur between our two schools.
