Koonung Secondary College

We recently heard from Jasmine Missen from the Class of 2025.

What subjects did you study in Year 12?

“In Year 12 I studied English, General Maths, Environmental Science and Psychology. My fifth subject was taken through the Centre for Higher Educational Studies (CHES), and allowed me to undertake The University of Melbourne's Extension Program (which allowed Year 12 students to take a university course alongside VCE). I studied Psychology at The University of Melbourne alongside VCE Psychology, and it was both challenging and very rewarding! I had also completed Art Creative Practice 3/4 in Year 11 which was really enjoyable.”

What are you studying or doing for work this year?

“I am currently undertaking a 5-year Bachelor of Arts/Master of Teaching graduate pathway at The University of Melbourne, hoping to go into primary or secondary education following the 3-year Bachelor of Arts course. I also currently work a Casual position at a frozen yoghurt store.”

James ‘Bond’ Azzato graduated from Koonung in 2024. He is pictured here with his pug ‘James Junior’.

“In year 12 I studied Art, food studies, wood technology, english and did a VET course for game design in Ringwood.

After graduating from Koonung, I studied at Box Hill institute to do a pre-apprenticeship for carpentry and plumbing and as of now I am an plumbing apprentice.

My favourite moment at Koonung has got to be spending recess and lunch with the boys at that one bench in front of room 3. Also Year 11/12 food studies with Ms Buzzi; I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard during school ever.”
