24.01.2022 ARE YOU A PAST VCAL STUDENT? If you, or somebody you know, is a past North Geelong Secondary College VCAL student, we'd love to hear from you! Year 11 and 12 VCAL students would like to host an event early next term which will involve inviting a group of past VCAL students back to NGSC to speak to current students about:... - their VCAL experiences - what they have done since leaving school - what you they are doing now - and more! Alumni guests will not need to make a formal presentation. We intend the session to be rather informal and more QnA style. Please email your interest to Tanja Dunat Timms (Alumni Program Manager): [email protected]

23.01.2022 WELCOME BACK MELISSA TURNER! It was wonderful welcoming back alumna, Melissa Turner, from the class of 2004. Her energy and optimism was contagious and her nostalgia for her old school, palpable. Melissa returned to NGSC twice in one week; firstly, attending a Multicultural meeting, as a special guest, and then returning a second time to speak to VCAL students about OHS, as part of her role at Work Safe, Victoria. ... Having grown up in Geelong and being the bubbly person that she is, Melissa was a wealth of knowledge regarding what her peers (from NGSC and other local state schools) have gone on to do. It was so captivating hearing Melissa talk about the diverse pathways taken by her network of alumni and exciting to think about the prospect of inviting some of these interesting alumni back to lift the aspirations of current students. Before she left, I joined Melissa and one of her past teachers, Julie Andrews on a tour around the school grounds. Whilst walking around the school, Melissa reflected on her time at NGSC; what some of the classrooms were used for when she was a student and how the school has changed since she graduated. However, what really resonated with me was when Melissa casually said, I wish I had the opportunity to hear from more alumni when I was a student at North Geelong. Case in point. If you are an alum of NGSC and have not yet reached out, please email [email protected] I look forward to welcoming you back to your old school to share your experiences and knowledge with current students and to give you a tour of the school grounds.

10.01.2022 Last year was a difficult year, personally and professionally, for so many, including me... I was so excited to commence the Ourschool Alumni program at NGSC mid-term 1, however, within a few weeks of commencing at the college, Victoria went into lock-down and thus, like so many, I was forced to work from home and left wondering: how do I engage alumni in all areas of school life from my home office? Like so many organisations, we (at Ourschool) soldiered on, utilising online... platforms to continue our work connecting with alumni, which included filming interviews with alumni we would have usually run as live, face-to-face sessions. I learned so much about some of our wonderful alumni through these filmed QnAs (which can be viewed in full on the NGSC website) and hopefully our current students did too. Here is a snippet from my interview with 2014 alumnus, Jack Howard, a Library Technician living in Western Australia. In this short clip Jack provides advice to students at NGSC about networking and, more importantly, nurturing relationships.

09.01.2022 Over the past year, the Ourschool program at Newcomb Secondary College has been working with the Glover siblings (Newcomb alumni who attended in the '70s) to es...tablish the Glover Family Award. The $1000 award encourages a talented and motivated student to complete Year 12 and pursue an interest in STEM pathways. Congratulations to Newcomb student Tarni, the deserving recipient of the inaugural Glover Family Award! Thank you to Glover siblings - Lynn, Barney and Gerry - for their generosity and passion for supporting future generations of Newcomb students. Newcomb Secondary College Alumni
