Parents and guardians, you are invited to discover a dynamic, high-quality government school for your child.
Visit North Geelong Secondary College (NGSC), at a time convenient to you, and see the school in operation.
NGSC is a creative, caring and diverse college, where young people grow into autonomous learners by engaging with our imaginative and intellectually rigorous programs.
Our community is a friendly and supportive environment, underpinned by the values of Respect, Excellence, Achievement and Diversity.
The school places high expectations on student behaviour and academic endeavour, as evidenced by outstanding results and outcomes.
Our students are privileged to enjoy:
Learning areas equipped with the latest ICT facilities.
An extensive, well-resourced, library
Plentiful, state of the art sporting facilities
A creative art and technology complex which caters for food technology, studio art, ceramics, woodwork and performing arts.
Students are encouraged to engage in a myriad of extracurricular activities, including Human Powered Vehicle, Debating, Student Representative Council and lunchtime clubs, such as chess club, cultural appreciation club, dungeons and dragons and Japanese club.
The transition from primary to secondary school is seamless for our Year 7 students. In Grade 6 all students are invited to the college early in the year for a ‘taste’ of secondary school and then later in the year there is a specialised two day program that allows students to develop new friendships and familiarise themselves with their new surroundings. Students start the secondary school year with confidence.
NGSC is proud to offer a number of excellence programs:
the Scholarship Program,
Select Entry Accelerated Learning (SEAL) Program,
Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID),
the Strive to Achieve Results (STAR),
the Achieving Core Education (ACE) Programs and
Excellence in Sport Program.
The Scholarship program promotes and recognises outstanding commitment by school students who have displayed a strong involvement in their school community. Scholarships are available in the following areas: academic excellence, student leadership, community, sporting excellence and the arts.
The Select Entry Accelerated Learning (SEAL) Program, provides a focused educational environment for academically oriented students. SEAL classes incorporate a fast-paced curriculum, with less repetition than mainstream classes.
Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID), the only program of its kind in Geelong, underpins the SEAL program and prepares students with the skills to succeed in senior and post secondary education.
Strive to Achieve Results (STAR) is an innovative Literacy and Numeracy program unique to our college. This program identifies students who have the potential to become our future ‘stars’ and achieve outstanding results in Years 7 to 9.
The Achieving Core Education (ACE) program aims to improve the numeracy and literacy development of students who are performing below the expected level.
The Excellence in Sport (EIS) Program develops students’ sport specific skills, knowledge and practical application in their chosen sports of Australian Rules, soccer or volleyball.
