In Term 1 Kurunjang Secondary College was invited to apply for Scholarships from our Library software provider, Functional Solutions.
We are thrilled to announce that student Tia Rana (Year 10) was awarded a scholarship for textbooks, stationery, and uniform.
We are proud of your dedication to your education, and the effort you put in to extra- curricular and student leadership. Well done Tia!
A special thanks to Ms. Potts for assisting Mr. DeLeon to prepare Tia's scholarship application.

Premiers' Reading Challenge 2025
The Premiers' Reading Challenge started at KSC this week and will run over Terms 2 and 3. The challenge is open to all students.
It is more of a personal challenge, rather than a competition. Students have access to their own digital reading log profile where they can record books that they have finished.
Earn milestone badges as you progress through the challenge.
Students will need to read and log 15 books on their PRC profile. Don't forget, you can record books that you have finished reading during Term 1!
The library has a display full of challenge books - make sure to borrow some of these books to add to your challenge list. You can also use books from home for your choice books.
Students who successfully complete the challenge will be invited to our PRC Pizza Party! And will also go in the draw to win some awesome prizes including book vouchers and chocolates!!
To log in to the reading challenge, go to COMPASS > School Favourites (star icon) > Premiers' Reading Challenge. You will log in using your school email and password.
Challenge ends Friday 5th September.
