Newcomb Secondary College Graduation
This week we have the wonderful opportunity to celebrate the achievements and growth of our amazing Graduating class of 2024. We are very much looking forward to the occasion, to be held at the venue 1915 on Thursday 28/11/24. It will be an occasion where we reflect upon 13 years of education, full of highs, occasional lows, challenges, successes, blood, sweat and tears! It will be a night where our families, carers, teachers and support staff join to be recognised and appreciated for the contributions they made in support of our Graduates over the journey. Congratulations class of 2024, you have made us all proud. We hope you too are proud of your achievements and who you have grown up to be today- you certainly should be!
Promotions Program- Year 11
This week also marks the commencement of the college Promotions Program, a program where our Year 11 students are promoted to their Year 12 subjects and courses. So far, the opportunity has been well-received, and students are productively attending to their subject requirements.
Year 11 Food Studies Christmas Lunch
Did we need a reminder that we are fast approaching Christmas? Well, if you hadn’t realised yet, our Year 11 Food Studies students Christmas Feast preparations last week will certainly put you in the mood for what lies ahead. Well done everyone, the food looks amazing!
The Wind Settles- Nobody’s Fool Theatre program performance
Last week our Nobody’s Fool students completed their regional tour of The Wind Settles performance. From all reports, the shows were amazing and received glowing acclaim from each audience they performed in front of. Next week, Geelong has its turn to witness the performance- I encourage you all to get along!
Storyline:
‘The Wind Settles’ Who am I? What am I supposed to be? There are oceans where the moonlight creates a stairway to heaven reflecting every facet of who we can be. But when the light of dawn breaks the fears and shadows that keep us ‘hiding low’ return. A group of 9 teenagers struggle to untangle the shadows that the glare of day brings; homelessness, transience, gender identity, sexual identity, body dysmorphia… just a few of the shadows that keep them on the run from themselves. Interweaving true to life stories with songs, humour and hope, ‘The Wind Settles’ is a journey of connection with others who don’t ‘fit’ and ultimately, with oneself. If we look hard enough and for long enough, we can discover and celebrate all of who we really are… |
Have a great week!

Mr Scott McLeod
