I extend a warm welcome to Koo Wee Rup Secondary College.

Having begun at the College in 2023, I am extremely proud to serve this wonderful community and lead a talented leadership team, skilled educators and a dedicated group of support staff. Together, we are committed to cultivating a respectful, connected community where every individual learns and grows to their fullest potential.

At Koo Wee Rup Secondary College, every student benefits from our Explicit Teaching Model: a clear, structured, and evidence-based approach to learning. Aligned with the Victorian Teaching Learning Model 2.0, it ensures classrooms are calm, engaging, and purposeful, with students supported to learn deeply and achieve success. Grounded in our values of Connection, Respect, and Growth, the ETM reflects our commitment to both academic excellence and the development of confident, capable learners.

As a staff, we hold ourselves and our students to high expectations, working within a culture built on respect, trust, and shared responsibility. Over the six years that we are entrusted to educate our students, it is our role to ensure that at the point of exit, they leave as successful, qualified, and confident young people, equipped with the skills and qualities to thrive in their chosen pathway of further education, training, or employment.

Our school culture and actions are underpinned by the School-Wide Positive Behaviour framework, which uses a proactive approach to create and maintain a positive and safe learning environment for our students and staff. The decisions we make in designing an effective learning community are all underpinned by our values of Connection, Respect, and Growth.

If you are a parent/carer making the important decision of where to enrol your child at secondary school, I want to sincerely assure you that Koo Wee Rup Secondary College is a place where students are known, supported, and challenged to achieve their best. It is a school well worth your attention, offering strong pathways, a caring culture, and a commitment to helping every young person grow and thrive.

I invite you to contact our friendly team on (03) 5997 1444 to arrange a school tour and learn more about the extensive opportunities available for your child at Koo Wee Rup Secondary College.

Sincerely,
