Karen Community Youth

The Karen Community Youth group had an outstanding day on Anzac Day this year which included a minutes silence at 11am.

Leading organisers of the event are College staff members Sophie, Ni Reh and Moo Thay and all of the participants were past or current members of the Northern Bay Community.

Using Goldsworthy Sports grounds the community had a hugely successful day. 

Thank you also to staff member Brandon for the photography.

Here is a snapshot of the day.

OurSchool Alumni

Here at the OurSchool Alumni Program, we have been busy connecting with Alumni from Northern Bay and the foundation schools, to find out what they have been up to, and inviting them to be a part of our Alumni Program.

It’s been really impressive and exciting, to speak to these Alumni, and to hear their stories and the diverse career pathways they have taken. One theme that comes up a lot when we speak to Alumni, is the power of a great teacher.

Two such examples of alumni speaking on the teachers that shaped them is Samantha Wilson and Yolanda Estaban.

Samantha Wilson is from our class of 2018 and has worked very hard in her Commerce and Arts Degree and has landed herself a graduate job with Deloitte. She mentions the teachers that helped her in her school journey, not just for the academic side, but also for the extra support they provided.

Yolanda Estaban also reflected on the power of a great teacher, who can steer you in the right direction or open your mind to a new idea. Her graphics teacher was so influential, that he inspired her to think big and aim for a career in Design and Architecture, and lucky for us he did. She is now a Senior Lecturer in Architecture and inspiring the next generation.

A great teacher can inspire and help shape a student and we feel lucky to have such talented, hard-working teachers at Northern Bay College.

If you, or someone you know, has an interesting career, or story, we’d love to hear from you at alumni@nbc.vic.edu.au

Child safety and wellbeing at Northern Bay College: Information for families and the school community

The Victorian Government has announced new Child Safe Standards to further strengthen child safety across organisations, including schools. The new standards recognise the critical importance of families and the broader school community in maintaining and promoting child safety and wellbeing. 

Northern Bay College is reviewing and updating our child safety policies and procedures to ensure they meet the requirements of the new standards. These are available to view https://www.nbc.vic.edu.au/ 

We are committed to continuous improvement in our approach to child safety and wellbeing and welcome feedback from families and members of our school community on ways we can further strengthen our child safety policies, procedures and practices. 

If you have any suggestions, comments or questions, please contact College Operations Manager Sarah Papadopoulos 03 5245 3500.
