Mr Simon Scoullar 

Middle Sub School Coordinator

Welcome to the Middle School. North Geelong Secondary College has three sub schools, Junior, Middle and the Senior Sub School. We recognise each year level has its own unique set of goals and in turn each sub school is in the position to nurture the individual growth of their cohorts. All students should now be in their timetabled class, have their lockers and in the correct uniform. 

The Middle Sub School at North Geelong Secondary College understands the challenges of its students both academically and from a developmental stand point. With this in mind the College takes great pride in being able to offer students a holistic and varied education. Annual Course Counseling begins in the latter years of year eight, enabling students to make an informed choice and cater subjects to their desired career path. 

Along with students picking their own electives in the middle school, North Geelong Secondary College runs a customised week each semester focussing on a chosen theme in year nine. In the past The College has run city camps, hikes, races around Geelong, University camps and mentorship programs. This year students are undertaking a grueling three day hike through Northern Victoria. The hike coincides with the science curriculum, giving students a real life hands on learning experience. The focus shifts in year ten where we devote a week to careers, VCE/VCAL preparation and programs more tailored to road safety, jobs and VET/School Based Apprenticeships. The College also continues to strive towards academic excellence, however in the Middle School we offer an applied learning option, fostering skills which are tailored to individual students who shy away from the traditional classroom. As well as extra curricular art, music and sport The College provides students with a broad range of options for a more engaging learning experience. 

We don’t want students wasting opportunities, we want our students making the most of their time at NGSC.
