Our Year 3 and 4 students were incredibly lucky to have Geelong football players Tom Hawkins (#26) and Gryan Miers (#32) come to visit them, along with Mark Worthington who lead the Healthy Heroes session.

This year we are lucky to have Dianne Hobbs working with 4 of our aspiring leaders - Tabby, Baylee, Jak & Ava.  The Salvation Army are running the 'Youth Ambassadors' program and these students have a weekly leadership development session to explore local issues and discuss what makes a good leader.

On Friday 22nd of February the Newcomb Park PS staff joined with St Leonards Primary School in a Professional Development Sessions.  We were lucky enough to spend the day with Kath Murdoch who is a well known expert in the area of Inquiry learning.

Over the first two weeks of the school year all classes were participating in the program 'Jump Start Into Newcomb Park!'  This program focuses on building the sense of community within each classroom through social activities and the creation of classroom expectations and routines.
