Building Program- $6 Million Facilities Upgrade

Isn’t it amazing that what takes so much blood, sweat and tears to build can come crashing down so quickly and easily! A complete rebuild of M-Block creating amazing new music and mathematic spaces, and a exciting new 150 auditorium and STEM innovation centre that will be the talk of town are well under way as we conclude 2020. Whilst the spaces look a little bare right at this moment (see the photos) the finish product in Term 2 2021 will be something to behold for Newcomb Secondary College students and broader community! Exciting times ahead!

2020 End of Year Program

We have made it! The last week of the school year for 2020 is upon us. To many, this is a milestone marker point in what has been a truly unique year. We are proud of the achievements of our community throughout this year, however we are under no illusion that the impacts on student learning, social and emotional effects on members of our school and broader community will remain a challenge we must address well into 2021. Our wonderful staff at Newcomb Secondary College have been working very hard with all available resources to plan the Tutoring program and other intervention programs targeted directly at supporting students to ‘catch-up’ and furthermore move above and beyond the ‘expected level’ on the Victorian Curriculum continuum for their stage in schooling.

The program for students this week comprises of-

Wednesday Dec 16- College Environmental Day
Thursday Dec 17- College Environmental Day
Friday Dec 18- College Environmental Day (Students dismissed at 1.15pm)

On Friday December 18, the last day for 2020, school council has approved the dismissal of students at 1.15pm in-line with Department of Education policy of 240min of educational practice on the last day of the school year.
