The 2025 school year is into full swing!

Term One is well underway and (for the most part) as a student body we are all back into routine.

In terms of leadership around the school, we are seeing plenty of positives to look forward to:

• With our new house leadership teams working together to create excitement around the sporting carnivals, as well as planning upcoming opportunities for school wide house points activities.
• The members of the Student Leadership Action Meeting (SLAM) committee for this year have been finalized, with approximately four representatives selected from each year level. This team will meet on Mondays to engage in discussions focused on potential improvements, fundraising initiatives, and the implementation of positive changes aimed at benefiting the Newcomb Secondary College community throughout 2025.
• Additionally, five students are currently participating in the Gnurad Gundidj School for Student Leadership. This term-long program is designed to foster both personal and social development, with the primary goal of equipping students with valuable leadership skills, lifelong learning experiences, and lasting memories.

As the college captains, our primary objective this year is to foster leadership opportunities and amplify student voice within the college community. We aim to cultivate the development of future leaders at Newcomb Secondary College while encouraging greater student engagement and agency in school-wide decision-making processes. We look forward to the outcomes this year will bring, both in terms of the growth of the school and our personal leadership development.
