Pathways Program
The Pathways Program at Newcomb Secondary College is an integral part of our whole school ethos, and clearly aligned with our overarching school motto – “Creating Positive Futures”.
Through Year 7-12, Newcomb Secondary College offers a wide range of programs where students receive career, pathway and industry exposure as they discover, explore and plan for the future.
