Be part of Kurunjang¿s next chapter as we lead whole-school transformation through clarity, consistency, and high expectations.
Kurunjang Secondary College is a government school in Melbourne¿s west, with an enrolment of approximately 890 students from Years 7 to 12. The college is inclusive and community-focused, with a strong commitment to academic growth, student engagement, and equitable access to future pathways. Guided by the shared purpose ¿we learn, grow and achieve together,¿ the college prioritises high expectations and collective achievement.
The college is preparing for its 2025 School Review and undertaking a significant phase of renewal, aligned with the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model (VTLM 2.0), Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), and the Science of Learning. These frameworks inform all aspects of practice -curriculum, engagement, wellbeing, and leadership¿ensuring clarity, consistency, and evidence-based decision-making across the college.
The Kurunjang Literacy Program (KLP) delivers explicit, targeted literacy instruction in Years 7¿ 9, incorporating the Science of Reading, structured phonics, and comprehension strategies. Numeracy pathways provide scaffolded support and extension through classroom-based intervention, co-teaching, and differentiated instruction.
In 2025, the college is trialling a Ready to Learn Room to strengthen Tier 2 engagement and behavioural support. Outcomes from this trial will inform future planning as Kurunjang continues to enhance its multi-tiered support systems. The college is also transitioning to the Positive Climate for Learning ¿ Managing Schoolwide Behaviour (PCMS) model, establishing a consistent approach to expectations, routines, and consequence systems aligned with DE guidance.
Kurunjang operates a vertical House structure across Years 7¿12, with four Houses led by dedicated House Leaders and support teams. Senior students access a broad curriculum, including VCE (VM and VPC), VET, and vocational pathways, with acceleration opportunities and access to Western Edge Cluster programs.
Major capital works will commence in September 2025, including construction of a new Learning Centre to enhance contemporary, inclusive learning spaces. These developments reflect the college¿s strategic commitment to becoming a future-focused, high-performing school of choice within the Melton community.
Located just 35¿40 minutes from inner Melbourne via V/Line or major arterial roads, Kurunjang offers a more efficient and predictable commute than many schools in the inner-west or northern growth corridors. The college provides a collaborative and professional environment for staff dedicated to evidence-informed practice, student growth, and collective responsibility.
