A Student Representative Council meets regularly to discuss ideas and issues that arise in the College. Approximately 600 students in Years 10-12 occupy the area of land named Kinnoull Campus adjacent to Malvern Cricket Ground and Northbrook. The site was purchased in 1955, and was initially a junior Campus until it became the senior Campus in 1984. Approximately 85% of students have gone on to university, 10% to TAFE and 5% to apprenticeships, traineeships, travel and other paths. All Kinnoull students undertake a program in Religious Education each year. Opportunities for service are available through the Lasallian Youth Leaders Program and the [[St Vincent de Paul Society]]. Events include Mission Action Day, the Football Lightning Premiership, the Year 12 Formal, the Blue and Gold Ball, Rock Eisteddfod, the Graduation Mass and Valedictory Dinner and the Farewell Assembly. ==Sport== As members of the Associated Catholic Colleges’ Victorian competition, elite interschool competition is offered to Years 7–12 students in the major carnivals of swimming, athletics, cross-country running, and with tennis, cricket, Australian Rules football, Soccer, Hockey, Basketball, Tennis, Golf, Table Tennis, Volleyball and Chess.

The College over the past two years has raised an amount over $250,000, with the target for 2008 being $115,000. Students exceeded this target raising approximately $120,000. This is the primary fundraiser the college holds. =="Coolies"== De La Salle "Coolies" is a optional program in which year 12 students give up their summer holidays to go India and build houses for those affected by the tsunami in 2004. The six-week experience is an alternative to the traditional "Schoolies" and runs over Christmas. The program has been running since 2006. In December 2007, the program featured in the [[Herald Sun.]] ==Patron Saint== [[St. Jean-Baptiste De La Salle]] was born in Reims, France on April 30, 1651. He was 29 years old when he realized that the educational system of his day was inadequate to meet the needs of upper class children in Seventeenth Century France. To provide a Christian and human education that would be practical and effective, La Salle founded a religious community of men, the Brothers of the Christian Schools (Fratres Scholarum Christianarum), dedicated to the instruction of youth. After many hardships, Jean-Baptiste De La Salle died on Good Friday, April 7, 1719. He was canonized a saint of the Catholic Church in 1900 and declared "Universal Patron of All Teachers" by his Holiness Pope Pius XII in 1950. The feast of St. Jean-Baptiste De La Salle is celebrated on the 15{{th}} of May by the worldwide Lasallian movement. The movement consists of approximately 900,000 students in over 80 countries. ==Houses== The College is split up into four houses, being: * {{color box|#000080}} St Leos (Navy Blue) * {{color box|#D4A017}} St Austins (Gold) * {{color box|#F20000}} St Marks (Red) * {{color box|#008000}} St Edwins (Green) Each house participates in various intra-house competitions, including Swimming (1st Term), Athletics (Term 4) and Cross Country (Term 3). ==Notable alumni== ===Arts and Academia=== *[[Archimede Fusillo]] - Author *[[Dr Edward Duyker]] - Historian, author and fellow of the [[Australian Academy of the Humanities]].
