SEE@K
Select Entry Enhancement Program (SEE@K) @ Koonung
The SEE@K (Select Entry Enhancement at Koonung) program is designed to accelerate highly able students in Mathematics and English throughout Year 7 to 9 while also enhancing and enriching their learning across all other subjects, including Science, Humanities and the theory within Health, PE, Arts, Performing Arts, and the Technologies.
As an integral part of Koonung Secondary College’s commitment to differentiated teaching and learning, SEE@K provides an environment where students strive for excellence, take intellectual risks, embrace challenge, and engage in thought-provoking activities that encourage deeper exploration and understanding across multiple disciplines. At its core, the program encourages critical and creative thinking, problem-solving, and inquiry-based learning. Through open-ended projects and real-world applications, students explore subjects beyond the standard curriculum, developing a strong foundation for future academic success.
With a global and community-focused outlook, SEE@K students are encouraged to think beyond themselves, respecting diversity and seeking innovative solutions to complex problems through collaboration and teamwork. The program nurtures future leaders who are open to learning, confident in their abilities, and committed to making a meaningful impact. At Koonung, many SEE@K students go on to become influential figures within the school community, leading by example and inspiring others to achieve their full potential.
What is suited to the program?
The SEE@K program is ideal for students who:
- are strong readers and read widely
- write with sophistication and develop well-reasoned arguments
- speak with confidence
- grasp new concepts quickly and apply them efficiently
- ask insightful questions and seek deeper understanding beyond what is taught in a standard curriculum

Opportunities for SEE@K Students
SEE@K students progress alongside their age peers, allowing them to fully participate in valuable developmental programs such as Live Life, fostering both personal and academic growth within their year-level cohort.
In Years 9 and 10, SEE@K students are encouraged to extend their learning by engaging in STEM-based virtual electives offered through the Centre for Higher Education Studies (CHES) and Emerging Sciences Victoria (ESV). These opportunities enable students to explore advanced topics and connect with like-minded peers across Victoria.
As they move into their senior years, students have the opportunity to accelerate their VCE studies, with many undertaking one or two VCE subjects in Year 10. Highly proficient and motivated students may also choose to complete a university-enhancement subject in their final year, providing an excellent foundation for tertiary education.
For students passionate about the Performing Arts, Koonung’s drama productions and musicals offer enriching and rewarding experiences that build confidence, teamwork, and creativity. The College also fosters strong connections with local community groups, providing students with meaningful opportunities to engage in social initiatives and develop a broader sense of civic responsibility.
