Northerly Aspects Online Edition
Recently published is the Northerly Aspects quarterly.
It cannot be delivered just now but it is n essential read for all of us in 3214
It is particularly special for us at Northern Bay because the front cover features our former College Captain and Arda Duck Award winner as our highest achiever in VCE , Miss Anis Gul Mohammad Ali. Anis has been recognised in the Leadership Category of the City of Greater Geelong 2020 Awards. This story is must read for all of us connected to Northern Bay College.
Prep Transition 2021 at Northern Bay College
Due to Covid-19 we have had to change many aspects of school and this is also the case with our transition process for our 2021 prep students and their families. Last week the college began individual meetings with parents to finish the enrolment process and also link them into two of our important apps that are used, Seesaw and Compass School Manager.
Each week we will be pushing out information and activities using Seesaw to our future prep students and parents. Some of these things will include photographs of the campuses, classrooms and teachers, things to get ready at home for school next year, stories being read by teachers, Singing Links songs to try at home and much more. We will also be having some small group onsite sessions for our future preps later in the term and also an online Webex meeting to allow parents a chance to ask any questions and feel prepared for next year. We have tried to include all our usual prep transition program content but just in a slightly different way. We are looking forward to meeting our new 2021 prep students both online and in person later in the term.
