Koo Wee Rup Secondary College (KWRSC) is a medium-sized co-educational public school situated in the high-growth corridor of the southeastern suburbs.

Koo Wee Rup Secondary College is experiencing an exciting transformation, well supported by a high-performing and supportive Leadership Team and a committed group of staff.

Current enrolment is approximately 850 students, with many students travelling by bus to attend the college. Our current staffing profile comprises the Principal, 4.6 Assistant Principals, 7 Leading Teachers and 9.2 Learning Specialists. In total, there are 71 Teachers and 42 Education Support Staff. Koo Wee Rup is a progressive community focused on community engagement and support. The school is active in the Cardinia Network, developing strong partnerships with other primary and secondary schools in the network.

The College is situated around attractive, spacious grounds. Previous rebuilds have enabled the update of three learning community centres, with plans to upgrade other areas of the school when the opportunity arises through the Department.

Our vision is ¿to cultivate a respectful, connected community where every individual learns and grows to their fullest potential¿. Koo Wee Rup Secondary College¿s values of Connection, Respect and Growth underpin the decisions we make in designing an effective learning community.

Our value of Connection refers to the connections we support students in building with each other, their teachers, and the wider community. As a school,



we also strive to build connections with our parent/carer community to build a strong learning partnership with each student¿s family. We also seek to help students build learning connections and to find links between what they learn at school and the world outside of school. Our value of Respect celebrates the importance of positive social and learning interactions. We set high expectations of our school community to consider others, learning resources and education with respect. Our value of Growth underpins the opportunities we provide to our students to expand their potential, resilience, and independence. We believe that with a growth mindset, students can achieve positive change in themselves and their community.

Curriculum offerings in Years 7, 8 and 9 consist of core components covering the key Learning Areas. In Years 9 and 10, elective offerings complement the core subjects. Students can also study VCE subjects as part of their Year 10 studies. In Years 11 and 12, we offer a comprehensive program that allows students to engage in the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM) and Vocational Education and Training (VET).

The College has strong connections to the Head Start initiative, and we currently have and will continue to have students undertaking an array of SBAT options. We also offer Certificate II VETDSS on campus to support the priority VET pathways as surfaced by the Firth review and the exciting new VCE VM senior certificate option.
