2017 Multicultural Day Celebrations
On Friday 27 October, North Geelong Secondary College will continue its strong tradition with the celebration of a Multicultural Day. It is a day where the school community comes together in harmony celebrating our diverse backgrounds. NGSC multicultural day celebration is fully supported by The City of Greater Geelong and Diversitat.
The official school assembly will begin at 10.30am. A very entertaining program with music, dance and more will be on the menu and the day will be filled with all sorts of activities such as; food stalls, rides, games, face painting, jewellery making and many more.
There is an extensive list of VIP guests invited.
It is open to the wider school community. A number of our feeder primary school students and community members will be attending. I hope to see as many parents, guardians and friends as possible on the day to celebrate together.
North Geelong SC Scholarship Program
North Geelong SC is proud to continue with its Scholarship Program. There are two entry levels to the scholarship program:
The Year 7 entry promotes outstanding commitment of Primary School students who have displayed a strong involvement in their College Community. The College looks for outstanding young people who are exceptional in different areas and possess personal qualities and values that will contribute to the life of North Geelong Secondary College.
The Year 9 entry promotes outstanding commitment of Year 8 students within the college wider community who have displayed a strong involvement in their junior secondary years. The College looks for outstanding young people who are exceptional in different areas and possess personal qualities and values that will contribute to the life of the NGSC community.
The NGSC Scholarship Program also recognises the considerable achievements of children in our community and provides them with the opportunity to experience exciting curriculum opportunities through a broad range of engaging programs delivered by our dedicated teachers. The scholarships are assigned to the successful applicants over a two year period, in Years 7 and 8, and Years 9 and 10.
2018 Year 9 scholarship Recipients
This year, the College allocated 4 scholarships to the value of $4500.00 and the students were selected based on their written application, multiple references and their ability to articulate their vision on how they could lead the student body and contribute to the life of the school.
