December 2025
Year 12 End of Year Celebration Dinner
Year 12 Graduation 2025
Year 12 VCE students have officially concluded their Northern Bay College journey, receiving their final study scores and ATAR’s. We are extremely proud of their efforts and accomplishments, they have shown the cohorts to come that there is no secret recipe to success, hard work pays off. We have seen growth in our average study scores not only overall, but throughout many of our subjects.
Achieving the highest results reflected in their ATAR, the Northern Bay Dux of 2025 is Jonathan Tanner!
Our Year 12 Graduation and Awards day was a huge success, with students, staff, families and friends coming together to finish the year off with a celebration. With performances from our college choir and Year 12 graduate, Macca Williams.
