Connect

With the introduction of Connect in 2025 we will no longer have homeroom at the beginning of the day. A copy of the new bell times is here for students and families to become familiar with before the school year begins.

Connect will only run on a Thursday after recess each week. Students will need to be prepared for Connect, period 3 and period 4 classes after recess each week.

Connect will be hands on, engaging and developing social and emotional skills of students to enhance their wellbeing, connectedness and resilience at school. Connect will cover topics such as emotional literacy, stress management, study skills, respectful relationships and give us a space to learn about whole school celebrations such as RUOK? day and Harmony Day, just to name a few.

Staff and students are really excited for the new curriculum, and we will be keeping everyone up to date with new learning ideas and focus each week as well as sharing tips through the newsletter to strengthen the connection and message between school and home.

VCE VM Orientation 

Orientation for both the Year 12 and Year 11 students, which occurred over the last four weeks, was a success. The Year 12 students have become familiar with their new teachers and understand what is required of them for stepping up into their final year of schooling at North Geelong Secondary College. We cannot wait to see what amazing projects they tackle in 2025.

The Year 11 students' were introduced to the new integrated VCE VM program. Students enjoyed activities such as initiative games, maths puzzles, a very competitive gingerbread house competition, golfing, and a VET safari so they know where they will be attending their VET next year. Overall students and staff had a great two-week orientation, with students being set up for a great 2025.
