Students celebrated the end of the year by holding school concerts for their families and friends. After hours of practice, their hard work all paid off in a spectacle of colour and music.

We had a wonderful year, with access to some amazing opportunities and experiences. We cannot wait to see what 2025 brings us!

Here are some of the things IMPACT students did in Term 4: 

• Year 9 and 10s seeing their work displayed at the Geelong Library
• IMPACT and DRAMA students seeing Tina Turner the musical in Melbourne 
• Year 9 puppet show to the kindergarten students 
• Year 10 organised and planning activities for the kindergarten students

• Year 9 circus experience – Beebop Circus incursion 
• Year 7 & 8 ASCEND IMPACT celebration day for semester 2 
• Year 9 & 10 excursion to THE LUME 

On Wednesday 11 December, a group of NBC students performed as part of the Delightful Days and Matinees Christmas performance at GPAC. Performing alongside Lucy Durack, an Australian actress, singer and tv personality who played Glinda in the Australian production of Wicked, and Elle Woods in the Australian production of Legally Blonde: The Musical. The performance certainly did our college and community very proud. Our students were the stars of the show. 

BeeBop Circus

Our Year 9 Impact students found out there is so much to learn to be in the circus. Nic from BeeBop Circus spoke about how he joined the circus and shared many of his stories and tricks with the students. 

Celebration Day

An Important part of our IMPACT program is celebrating our learning with their families and staff across the college. Students had their celebration day with a great turn out of interested families and staff who were keen to see the work of our students.

Christmas Day out

The Extended School Day program rounded the year out with a very special day out, spreading Christmas cheer at Federation Square. A big crowd gathered to hear our students sing a number of songs, with lots of cheers after every carol. 

There was also lots of fun along the way, with the Myer Christmas windows, the giant see-saws and a visit from Santa himself!
