McKinnon Secondary College is a Year 7 to 12 co-educational dual campus school with a student population of over 3100. Located in the south-east of Melbourne, the College was founded in 1954. The McKinnon Road Campus caters to Years 7, 10, 11 and 12, while the East Campus, which opened in 2022 in the nearby Virginia Park site off East Boundary Road, serves Years 8 and 9.

McKinnon does not believe in a `one size fits all¿ education and offers a positive, caring and safe learning environment in which all students can achieve success through its comprehensive and differentiated curriculum, and an extensive extra-curricular program.

The College has an instructional model that aligns with VTLM 2.0 and has a solid focus on explicit teaching. McKinnon Secondary College is an accredited school with the Council of International Schools and strives to prepare its students to thrive in a world which values interpersonal skills as much as academic excellence.

McKinnon Secondary College lives by its motto `Wisdom and Service¿ by actively promoting a culture that celebrates the achievement of excellence, that values and respects individual diversity and that encourages participation by all members of the community. Students at McKinnon are very conscious of the opportunities being offered to them and take pride in themselves and the College. Student voice is valued at the College as is student wellbeing. Student achievements are formally recognised and celebrated in College publications, at whole school assemblies, on the school¿s website and at the annual Presentation Assembly.

The College¿s positive culture, high expectations and rigorous teaching and learning program have consistently translated into excellent VCE results, rating amongst the best in the State for a non-select entry school.



These factors have maximised tertiary educational opportunities with over 95% of our students going on to study at university. In addition, our VM and VPC programs provide an applied learning pathway for our senior students. Aside from a reputation for academic excellence, McKinnon also has well-regarded art, music and sporting programs, as well as an impressive array of extra-curricular offerings. Our students regularly participate in community events and festivals, and represent the school at regional, state and national level. The richness of the College program allows students to flourish as they pursue their particular interests and goals.

McKinnon has established itself as an IT leader in the education space, being recognised as Australia¿s first Google Reference School. IT has become central to the school¿s learning programs and administration. With the opening of the new campus the school is further investing in STEAM-focused technologies.

The College has always relied on the commitment of its parent body through which the school council has provided support for teaching programs and facilities. With the addition of the new East Campus and the construction of the impressive new gymnasium at the McKinnon Rd Campus, the College has high-quality sporting facilities, a Lecture Theatre, and attractive ground spaces for students to socialise and be active.





The McKinnon school community is determined to meet the challenges of the contemporary world with a continuing commitment to our core values.
