Middle Years News
As we head into the second half of Term 3 and into spring, there is a renewed sense of energy, enthusiasm and growth among our Middle Years students.
Currently, Middle Years Leadership positions for 2027 are being organised, which also includes Peer Mentors, Transition Leaders and School for Student Leadership.
All Middle School students have upcoming Year Level assemblies featuring a guest Alumni speaker. These sessions provide an opportunity for our current students to connect with former Koonung Secondary College students and hear inspiring stories about their experiences at Koonung and their journeys and different pathways beyond school.
Year 8 Assembly: 24 August
Year 7 Assembly: 25 August
Year 9 Assembly: 3 September
Term 3 Middle Years Assembly: 15 September
Parent/Student/Teacher Conferences
The in-person Parent-Student/Teacher Conferences this Thursday 20 August are an excellent opportunity to speak face-to-face with your child’s teachers.
In my experience, there is nothing quite like having the opportunity to discuss your child’s progress directly with their teachers. We have had an excellent uptake of bookings and look forward to a productive day and evening of conferences.
Please don't hesitate to contact our Middle Years Administrator, Katrina Pumpa, in the Middle Years Office on phone 9890 9662 (press 1) if you have any queries.
