Newsletter- Term 4 Week 3 2024

Year 12 Celebrations

This week we celebrated the journey of our Year 12 students, the class of 2024. On Monday we staged a celebration assembly as a whole school and today we took the Year 12 students offsite for a day together as a cohort. The assembly was a fitting recognition of the impact this cohort of students had on the college community, and a fitting acknowledgement of who they are as young adults ready to take on the world. We know that the journey is not yet over, but we do look forward to hearing what the next chapter has installed for you all!

2025 School Captains

On Friday, a number of Year 11 students presented to their peers as prospective 2025 School Captains. I have to say that the presentation speeches were of high quality and the decision posed to their peers, and the school community will be a very difficult one. What I will say is that Newcomb Secondary College is so very privileged to be represented by such amazing students with great aspiration and already competency in leadership. We can’t wait to be able to announce the successful 2025 School Captains and begin working closely with you all.

OED Camp- Otway’s Bushwalk Adventure (Oct 16-18)

Last Friday our Year 9/10 Outdoor Education students and staff returned from their Otway’s Bushwalk Adventure. They returned tired and in need of a good shower, however with big smiles on their faces about their achievement and the experience itself. Thanks goes to Mr Goward, Mr Relouw, and Ms Branson for leading the group.

Geelong Cup Public Holiday (Oct 23)

Just a reminder that tomorrow, Wednesday, October 23 is the Geelong Cup public holiday, and the school will be closed.

Annual Music Concert (Oct 24)

One of the highlight nights on the Newcomb Secondary College calendar is the Annual Music Concert, this year being held on Thursday October 24 in the Newcomb Secondary College Hall. The night will be filled with outstanding talent by our students and their respective bands or ensembles. The event always draws a big audience, so I suggest that you get there early to secure your seat- see you all there!

New Basketball Courts

We are pleased to be able to announce that our new Basketball Courts have finally been opened- and what a hit they have been. To see so many students enjoying the facility each day has been amazing- no doubt we will now have high hopes in our inter-school basketball competitions moving forward!

Once again, welcome back and have a great week!
