Students thrive on GROW

Newcomb Secondary College is exceptionally proud of its innovative GROW program.

The GROW program focuses on personal and academic development of students: Getting Ready for the Outside World. This program aims to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in their future endeavours and links to Newcomb’s Positive Futures Framework.

The GROW program is designed to provide students with a holistic approach to their education, incorporating academic subjects alongside personal development activities. This includes workshops on Collaboration, Digital Literacy, and Design Methodology, as well as opportunities for community service, leadership development and as well as linking to the Geelong Tertiary Futures Program.

The GROW program has already seen significant success at Newcomb Secondary College, with students reporting higher levels of engagement and motivation in their learning. The program has also been praised for its ability to develop well-rounded individuals who are equipped with the skills and knowledge to succeed in all aspects of life.

Students get out and about in our community to learn about the world they will have a positive impact on as young adults, they learn about their employability skills and strengths, develop their financial and digital literacy and pathways to success throughout and beyond their final years at Newcomb Secondary.
