2023 Orientation Program & End of Year 2022 Programs

It always seems surreal at this time of the school year that despite the focus on the current learning and assessment program, we focus much of our energy and planning on the following years learning program- no wonder many of us forget what year it actually is! So to make sense of this, here is the breakdown and dates to take note of-

1. Promotions Program (Year 12 2023)

This program, commencing November 14 and running for 2-weeks, allows the 2023 Year 12 students to commence their Unit 3 courses with their teachers prior to the end of 2022.

2. Inclusion Transition Program

This program, commencing November 15, caters for our new Year 7 students joining the college in 2023. The students participating in this extended transition program have been selected in consultation with our Feeder schools and Newcomb SC.

3. Assessment Week- End of 2022 Learning program

The assessment week, commencing November 21 for 1-week, is the last week of regular 2022 classes for students in Years 7-10. This week offers students the opportunity to work closely with their teachers to ensure they have all assessment tasks submitted.

4. Promotions Program (Year 8-11 2023)

This program, commencing November 28 and running for 1-week, allows the 2023 Year 8- 11 students to commence their 2023 courses with their teachers prior to the end of 2022. This opportunity allows students to get a taste for their 2023 subjects and courses and prepare for the year of learning ahead. The program prepares students, provides a chance to iron out any issues and thus commence 2023 when students return without further disruption.

5. Orientation Program (Year 7 2023)

This program day on December 13 welcomes our new Year 7 students for 2023. These excited students will have the opportunity to start to feel comfortable at Newcomb Secondary College. Students will be provided lots of information, tour the school, meet some of their teachers, enjoy some activities and of course, meet their student peers. It is a great day, and for most, it is a day that sits forever in their memories and facilitates the start of many new life-long friendships.

6. End of Year Program (Year 7-10 2022)

This program, commencing December 5 for 2-weeks, will bring the 2022 school year to a close with fun and engaging activities, experiences and learning tasks. Students will participate in series of focus days led by the Learning Area teams featuring group-work, challenges and excursions.
