Living on Campus
Year 12 students welcomed Victoria Howard from Newman College – The University of Melbourne Halls of Residence, who visited the College yesterday. Victoria spoke to students outlining the advantages of living on campus and the benefits, services and clubs students can access as a Newman resident. Newman College accepts applications from students who are studying at a number of Universities and has a particular focus on supporting rural and regional students.
