House Sporting Program
Koonung Secondary College is based on a House System which is essential to building community and college spirit amongst students and staff. Students and families will remain in the same House for the duration of their time at Koonung Secondary College, which further enhances the sense of belonging and connection.
The four Houses at Koonung Secondary College, named after four artists from the Heidelberg School, are:
Conder (Yellow)
Streeton (Blue)
Roberts (Red)
McCubbin (Green)
In Terms 1 and 2, Koonung Secondary College conducts highly successful House Athletics, Cross Country and Swimming Carnivals annually. These carnivals, which cultivate positive teacher and student relationships, also facilitate selection for school representation in the Schools Sports Victoria (SSV) competitions (Eastern Metropolitan Region and State Championships).

Year 7 and 8 Sport Education
Sport Education is a core unit at Year 7 and Year 8. Sport Education introduces students to a range of major sports, which include those in the interschool sport program. Emphasis is placed upon the development of skills through modified games, individual and group practices, and the game itself. Good sporting behaviour, game scoring/umpiring and the enjoyment of being physically active are fostered through the program. Teams that represent Koonung Secondary College at an interschool sport level are developed and trained within Sport Education, leading to students demonstrating their skills at a competitive level. Students elect a different sport for each term. Term 4 comprises a class versus class round-robin competition, contributing to a sense of community and social connectedness.
