Koo Wee Rup Secondary College (KWRSC) is a medium-sized co-educational public school situated in the high-growth corridor of the Southeastern suburbs. It has easy access to Phillip Island, Mornington Peninsula, and the Melbourne CBD.

Koo Wee Rup Secondary College is experiencing an exciting transformation. A new Principal was appointed in Term 4 of 2023, and a high-performing and supportive Leadership Team has been confirmed for 2025.

Current enrolment sits at around 940 students. Koo Wee Rup is a progressive community with a focus on community engagement and support.  The school is active in the Cardinia Network developing partnerships with other network primary and secondary schools.

The College is situated around attractive spacious grounds.  Previous rebuilds have enabled the update of three learning community centres with plans to upgrade the other centres 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.

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 are also able to 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 undertake 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.

KWRSC has a wide range of extracurricular activities, including Instrumental Music, Musical Productions, and Festivals, as well as excursions, competitions, sports programs, and camps, as approved by the School Council.
