SunSmart Students
As the warmer weather is upon us, we would like to remind and encourage families to be 'SunSmart' and take precautions from harmful UV Rays. National Skin Cancer Action Week (20-26 November) highlights that we need to do more to promote sun protection. At GNLC, we encourage families to apply sunscreen to children at home or on their way to school. Note that we are unable to supply sunscreen at the Front Office due to potential allergy reactions. Therefore, it is best to apply and or supply your own that is compatible with your child’s skin type! Students wanting to reapply sunscreen during the day should bring their own in their school bag for personal use.

Starry Night Mosaic
How great to have a place where students can gather to share a moment together!
During lunchtime or after school for an hour, students have been meeting to work on their Starry Night-themed mosaic for the Arts Plaza area outside.
Pictured here at the starting line are Tashreet Sidhu, Nyabol Majak, and Divya Verma.
There is a long way to go, but the fun is definitely in the journey. We are not sure when the Arts Plaza vision will come to life, but it will be one starry night!
2024 School Fee Information
School Fee information for 2024 has now been released by the Governing Board. An email has been sent to all families. However, we have had some technical issues with the email system, so if you have not received your copy, please either check your ‘junk email’ box, or contact the GNLC finance office at finance@goodnews.vic.edu.au to receive another copy. Fee information is also available on the College website.
Enrolment for 2024
At this time of the year, we remind all families who might be planning to move on from the College in 2023 to please let us know. There are a number of reasons that we do this, but in particular, it means we are able to:
- Plan facilities for 2024 (such as the number of lockers, chairs, tables etc.)
- Arrange staffing to ensure we have the right number of quality teachers
- Schedule a student and staff timetable for lessons and activities
- Offer positions to families on our waiting list to join the College
If you are planning on continuing at Good News in 2024, then you don't need to do anything further. If you are a family with child/ren from Prep to Year 11 in 2024, and you are considering leaving the College you must provide notice in writing to the Admissions Officer admissions@goodnews.vic.edu.au.
Extended Holidays during School Term
Families are reminded that they need to seek written permission from the College Principal to take their children out of school for extended periods of leave during school Term. On taking leave, students need to ensure that they remain up to date with any assessments and show endeavour to complete assessments before taking their leave.
