24.01.2022 Congratulations to our students at McKinnon Secondary College for winning the Education Perfect Global Languages Championships 2021! For seven days, our students competed relentlessly on an international stage against 1,894 schools around the world. The competition was fierce but our students prevailed by steadily answering questions while developing their proficiency in 15 different languages. We are extremely proud of our students - allez McKinnon! bit.ly/EducationPerfectLanguageChampions2021

14.01.2022 Jordan Stout class of 2010, ran a double marathon (84km) in 2020 to raise money for mental health. It is with enormous pride and admiration that we announce that Jordan raised $10,000! He is making a donation to fund all 365 Year 10 students in 2021, to experience the Tomorrow Man and Tomorrow Woman programs here at McKinnon Secondary College. What a phenomenal legacy for Jordan to leave behind at McKinnon all these years after graduating, and for this our community will be forever grateful. Read on for more details of his journey

As the building process progresses, we are in a position to close down this fundraiser. This is the final call for anyone in the community who wishes to contribute to this exciting new development for the school. Your child’s / family name to be engraved on a brick wall of the new gymnasium. Bricks cost $120 each. This will be a tax-deductible donation into the School Building Fund.
