Year 7 Welcome Picnic 

On Thursday evening, we welcomed our new Year 7 students and their families to Koonung with the annual Year 7 BBQ Picnic. It was a fantastic event not only for these new students and families, but also for existing Koonung instrumental music students who had the opportunity to perform live at school for the first time in a year. We heard items from the String Quartet, Rock Bands, various soloists and also a student-lead group.

A big thank you to Marina Novelli, Joshua Verco, David Forward and the instrumental music students for making the first performance of 2021 a success. We hope that you enjoy the following selection of performances.
