Northcote Thrive

Help our school to thrive

In our last newsletter, we introduced the Northcote Thrive Fund, an initiative of School Council. In addition to government funding, generous financial and in-kind support from our families provides us with additional resources to improve school spaces and resources, develop innovative programs, and provide essential equipment for students in financial need.

In this edition, we’d like to tell you more about BUILD, which represents Northcote High School’s Building Fund.

Improved learning and social spaces are part of our long-term vision for a campus that better caters for contemporary learning and a growing student community. We are developing a new Campus Master Plan in consultation with our school community and this year we celebrated completion of the Art and Design Hubs.  High quality creative spaces that inspire and engage young people are key to the vision of the Northcote Campus Master Plan.   The Art & Design Hubs were funded thanks to our parent community via the Building Fund.

Construction of the Performance Hub will begin in the next weeks, funded by DET ($4.5m) and Northcote High ($800,000) – this will include an upgrade of the front of school .  

We invite you to DONATE to Northcote Thrive Fund when making your annual ESLI (Essential Student Learning Items) payment. Shortly you will also be able to make ad hoc donations via our school web page. Please contact our Finance Manager, Richard Wang, to set up ongoing or specific purpose donations.
