End of Year 2022 Programs

Students and teachers alike are enjoying the final 2 weeks of the 2022 school year. The activities and excursions are a welcome break from regular classes and give everyone a chance to try something different. Some students enjoyed the excursion to the Geelong Tech School the most, others enjoyed the opportunity to cook a magnificent Christmas banquet (and then eat it!) whilst still others enjoyed some quiet arts and crafts or maths games. But by far the most popular was the Adventure Park excursion. Whilst it wasn’t the warmest of weather for enjoying waterslides, the sun was delightful and students had a great time enjoying all the park had to offer. Even the teachers got in on the action with Mr Unmack proclaiming himself the minigolf king with four holes. The final days of End of Year activities, give students the opportunities for some sports activities, and a chance to enrich their understanding of Newcomb Secondary College’s own Positive Futures Framework!

Year 12 Graduation

A final farewell was said to the Year 12 cohort of 2022 on Wednesday 7^th of December. VCE and VCAL graduates alike proudly walked across the stage to receive their certificates, a memento from the college and the handshakes of our School Principal Mr Phil Honeywell and School Council President Mr Michael Graham. Reflections for the night from Mr Honeywell and Student Leader Baillie Mayberry and NSC Alum Gab Pappalardo were well received, as were the humorous and kind introductions of student highlights by Mr Sinclair and Mrs Dedini. As usual the dinner and dessert were delicious, music got everyone on the dancefloor and the students themselves presented immaculately in their finest suits and dresses.
