Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences

Last week we were pleased to return to conducting the traditional Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences at Newcomb Secondary College. It was fantastic to see so many families take the opportunity to meet with teachers to discuss and celebrate the progress and growth of their student. The rich discussions also provided the opportunity to set goals and targets to enable future progress and added growth. Teachers at Newcomb Secondary College provide feedback to our parents and guardians on their students progress and welcome and acknowledge your active involvement in supporting them. After all, student growth is best achieved when there is an active and supportive team around the student.

If you were unable to make the Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences last week, and would like to chat with your child's classroom teachers, please make contact with your student’s teachers through Compass to arrange a suitable time and method to have a discussion.

ANZAC Day Assembly

The 2021 ANZAC day assembly held on Monday 26th April , was run entirely by our Student Leaders.

Hailey Rickard opened the event with an explanation of the significance of ANZAC day before handing over to Elliot Nicholas for our inaugural “Spotlight on ANZACs in history”. 

This will see Newcomb Secondary College focus on different wars, peacekeeping operations and emergencies which the Australian armed forces have been involved in.  Our hope is to acknowledge the many who have served and sometimes died whilst serving in many places and times for Australia.

This year, Elliot focused on the Vietnam war, giving a brief insight into the contentiousness of this conflict and concluding with a biographical quote of a digger urging people to keep separate their political opinions of a conflict and those who serve. Paige Bower concluded the ceremony with the Ode to the Fallen followed by a minute of silence. 

Jake Baker and Ian Crowther provided the Last Post and Rouse on trumpet.
