From the Principal Team
WELCOME BACK ALL STUDENTS
We were very excited about the return to site for all of our students last week, Friday October 22nd.
To celebrate this milestone, we held a complimentary sausage sizzle at recess
(following COVID-safe guidelines).
There was also a range of activities and games happening in the yard during lunch.
As our community continues to work through the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it remains essential that we keep following the Victorian Government's health guidelines around
mask-wearing (unless exemptions apply), personal hygiene, and remaining at home when experiencing any signs of being unwell.
With the return of our full cohort, for the first time in many long months, Newcomb Secondary College will once again be a dynamic and vibrant place of learning, and we are all very excited
by this prospect!
Thank you for all of your patience and support along the way.
Parent Forum
Newcomb Secondary College is currently undertaking a review as part of the Victorian Department of Education and Training’s 4 year cycle of review and planning for Government Schools.
As a part of this review process we would like to conduct a Parent Forum where a small number of parents can discuss their thoughts about the areas of school operations that are seen as strong and those needing improvement. This forum will include conversations about student learning, student support and wellbeing as well as pathways and post school transitions.
The forum will be hosted by School Council President Michael Graham and the conversations will be led by Lucy Glover, Associate Director Valad Solutions, the Department of Education’s independent reviewer.
Date: Wednesday 27 October from 5.00pm until 5.45pm (approx.)
Due to Covid restrictions the forum will take place online and attendees will receive a link to facilitate access.
If you would like to be involved please contact the Newcomb Secondary College office on 5248 1400 to register your interest. The attendee list will be actioned on a ‘first come – first served’ basis with any additional interested parents being on a list in case any individuals are unable to attend.
We look forward to a very productive conversation in the interest of all of the students at Newcomb Secondary College.
