Year 7 Orientation

Today was the state wide transition day. This is an exciting opportunity for grade six students to begin the first steps of their journey into secondary school.

It was a busy and exciting day for the grade six students who had the chance to meet their new classmates, teachers and familiarise themselves with the school grounds.

Students rotated though sessions of Art, Food, STEM/Science and PE between throughout the day as a taster to subjects they will be studying next year.

We look forward to seeing our new students again in 2022.

GRADUATION 2021

With the removal of density limits, we can now have some family members attend the actual Graduation ceremony in person. Our new auditorium will now be limited by its physical size and the capacity of the retractable tiered seating. Therefore we are pleased to allow for 2 family members per student to attend the ceremony in person.

Other family members may attend the event for photos and refreshments in the courtyard before and after the event, but will need to view the ceremony through a live stream on YouTube. We will provide some rooms within the school to view this.

All adults in attendance at any part of the event will need to be fully vaccinated.

Nobody's Fool Theatre production

Nobody's Fool Theatre production

Hi Everyone

Nobody’s Fool Theatre is a collaboration between Newcomb Secondary College and Somebody’s Daughter Theatre Company. Based in Newtown, our flexible learning space is arts led where drama and art workshops provide the lens for students to engage in their education.

We would like to warmly invite you all to the 2021 end of year production, ‘When the light went walking.’

Please see flyer attached for details. Tickets are free but limited so RSVP essential; laura.sdtc@gmail.com

Thursday December 9 @7pm

Friday December 10 @1pm

Friday December 10 @7pm

‘When the light went walking’ mirrors our world’s time of change and the political landscape surrounding the theme of ‘consent.’ Voices and experiences of young people are brought to the stage and provide a window of connection for others whilst highlighting the importance of finding ways to be strong, to grow and to move forward. It touches upon truth telling and the importance of connection to land, culture and elders.

‘When the light went walking’ is funny, sad, confronting, and empowering, but ultimately shows how everyone can find their own light, even when the world feels dark.

I am really proud of our Newcomb Secondary students who have worked so bravely on this production. I know it is late notice but it would be wonderful to see some of you there!

With thanks,

Emma Boschetti

Classroom Teacher

Bike Tour

Bike Tour

Bike Tour 2021 – Tour de Bellarine

We have been so fortunate to have been able to run another successful Bike Tour event. We had 48 students (11 first timers), 14 staff (2 first timers), about 120km of riding, and 4 seasons every day!

This Tour had a little bit of everything. We had heat, then cold, then rain, then hail stones, then a stinging downpour .... and that was just by mid-afternoon on the first day.

The riding was good - some hills, some bike tracks, some magnificent coastal scenery, some gravel, a few bingles, none with traffic, and thankfully it didn’t slow these students down at all.

Our fitness wasn't too good, but we knew this would be the case! Bu Millis described a lot of "shade" being thrown over us at certain times as again students (and a couple of staff) dealt with the discomfort of being in the saddle for 3 days.

We stayed at 2 beautiful locations - the highlight being 30 metres from the water’s edge at St Leonards - just magnificent. Our students conducted themselves responsibly within these communities for the short time we were there.

The food was magnificent! Thanks Ms Reed, Ms Hill and the helpers that pre-prepared our 'Uber eats', and the slices were spectacular! - Thank you also to families!


We also juggled basketball games, hair appointments, dental work and a wedding. Not our usual tour! Then when it was all done, it was really nice to again have students happy and safe at home, showing appreciation for being able to have a tour this year, and thanking the staff who rode with them.

Here's to next year.

Mr Unmack - on behalf of all the staff involved with Bike tour.
