Life is always about making adjustments and accepting change. Such experiences should not be feared however as with change comes new opportunities and growth. Newcomb Secondary College is transitioning through a period of change at present with new leadership structures taking shape. Pleasingly, this exciting period for the school is being effectively managed in a way to ensure that stability remains for the school community.

With that in mind, we are pleased to announce, and introduce the new Assistant Principal of Newcomb Secondary College

- Mrs Kelly Montano.

Kelly is an innovative, organised and very approachable person who is very excited to add value to all areas at Newcomb SC. Throughout her journey in education, Kelly has established an impressive leadership record, with her influence spanning across a wide range of portfolios, programs and other areas of school leadership and management. Kelly is a really engaging person who is very keen to get to know all members of the community- I have no doubt, Kelly will be well-received by all staff, students and the entire community when she commences with us in early August.

Whilst introducing Kelly as the new Assistant Principal, we should also acknowledge Mr Jeremy Sinclair for his contributions in the role of Acting Assistant Principal at Newcomb SC over the course of Semester 1 and throughout the start of Semester 2. Jeremy is an amazing member of the college community, and a fine leader, who has a great future at the pointy end of school leadership when the time is right for him to pursue such a role full-time. Thankyou Jeremy for your collegial support, commitment to this wonderful community and for your leadership.

It was great to see members of our community attend the Pathways information evening last Thursday evening. The Pathways team have been putting in many hours of preparation for our Course Counselling resource and program to ensure that all students and their carers can navigate this important phase of their secondary schooling in an informed and supported manner.

Have a great week!

Mr McLeod
