Koonung Awards Night

The Koonung Awards Night was a fantastic way for the 2022 school year to come to a close. Koonung Secondary College really is a pool of amazing students with such incredible talent, whether that be academic, sporting, arts, music or other. Congratulations to all students and to those that were recognised with an award.

On the evening, we welcomed alumni Michaela Clare-Cover (Class of 2017) as our guest speaker. Michaela delivered a fantastic keynote speech with the theme ‘OK. Why not?’. Once you’ve read below you’ll understand that she’s a go-getter and that her ‘OK. Why not?’ philosophy has meant that Michaela gives everything ‘a go’; no challenge is off-limits.

Michaela completed YR12 at Koonung in 2017. After completing YR12, Michaela studied an Associate Degree in Graphic Design at RMIT and is now a trained graphic designer and photographer with a strong background in leadership. She is currently an Integrated Designer at M&C Saatchi (an advertising agency). 

 

Michaela has played major roles in the design of memorable marketing campaigns including the Victorian Government 'COVID-19 Response' campaign, World Vision 'This Means The World' campaign, The Australian Government 'A Life Changing Life' campaign, Hireup's Disability Support 'Brand Launch' as well as being a Lexus Australia Social photographer. She has also written, photographed, illustrated and produced her own cookbook ‘High End at Home’. As well as producing, cooking, photographing, styling and designing ‘Lara's Top 50 Cookbook’ by nutritionist Lara Gya. On top of all of this, she was also the designer and producer of 'Food Jail', a self-help book written by physiologist Stephanie Georgiou.

 

In her ‘spare time’ Michaela runs her own freelance design and photography business. 

 

WOW! Thank you so much for returning to Koonung Michaela.
