ST. GEORGE SERVICE TRIP | A group of students and staff travelled on Sunday to St. George to assist in the community and NCC Early Learners. This week, students are running a school holiday program for 24 children from various Primary State Schools in St. George and neighboring towns. Chappy Andrew plays a crucial role in organising the program, with valuable contributions from local teacher Sue and Pastor Jodie. The program is filled with engaging games, creative crafts, and meaningful media presentations, all centered around the Gospel theme of John 14:6, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." As part of their activities, the children crafted greeting cards, which were later presented by our NCC students to the residents of the nearby aged care facility near the Church of Christ in St. George. ...

MS AND SS BOOK WEEK PARADE | Book Week was tremendously successful in our Middle and Senior School on 22 August. Students and teachers across all grades dressed up for this annual event in various creative costumes. The Student Leadership team held a 'lunchtime costume competition' in our Amphitheatre.
The carefully selected judging panel judged each outfit as teachers and students competed for prizes in their excellent costumes. Here are the four categories and our winners: - Best Overall Costume: Zachary E as 'Gilan' from the Ranger's Apprentice. A complex, homemade costume that took over 10 hours of crafting. - Best Group or Pair Costume: English Department Teachers as 'Alice in Wonderland' characters. Every department teacher did not disappoint, coming with impressively extravagant and colourful themed costumes. - Best Teacher Costume: Mr. Tom Noble as 'Robin Hood'. He was the fan favourite with his high quality and accurate costume. - Best Homemade Costume: Abbey L Year 12. Made from paper mache, a hand-built costume from a modern comic book. Abbey's commitment and investment into her outfit didn't go unnoticed!
What a day our students and teachers got to enjoy and share in our NCC community, with the best part being to raise funds for our "Operation Christmas Child" packages! ... See MoreSee Less
SMART PAWS PET AWARENESS PROGRAM | Our prep classes had a special furry visit from the Smart Paws Program on Wednesday 6 September. With excited smiles and "tails wagging", our students had hands-on experience caring for our furry friends and learnt valuable lessons. The Smart Paws Pet Awareness Program is an interactive educational presentation on responsible pet ownership and dog bite prevention that aligns with the Australian Curriculum and Council's Management Plan for Domestic Animals. The Prep students adored Bodie, the puppy and loved learning how to handle him properly. ... See MoreSee Less
OLYMPICS UNLEASHED WITH JACOB TEMPLETON | On Tuesday 5 September, Year 4-6 Junior School students participated in an incredibly inspiring and educational visit by local Para Olympian swimmer Jacob Templeton. Learning about the ups and downs he faced in his swimming career, as well as gaining insights into living with a hidden disability like vision impairment, helped foster empathy and understanding among the students. Jacob's life lessons about goal setting, self-belief, determination, effort, finding one's passion, and resilience are invaluable. These are skills and qualities that not only apply to sports but can also be applied to various aspects of life. Jacob's visit motivated and encouraged our Year 4-6 students to pursue their own goals and dreams, regardless of any challenges they may face. His story is a powerful example of how determination and a positive mindset can lead to success! ... See MoreSee Less

YEAR 3 AND YEAR 4 QUEST MATHS | Students in Year 3 used various methods to collect data, including a Mark Rober disk launcher, marble maze, stacking cups and catapult. Students displayed their data using their choice of graph, created their hypotheses and questions and then completed a gallery walk to answer each other’s questions and reflect on what made an effective graph.
Students in Year 4 have been learning how to collect, present and read data effectively so that they might make reasoned judgements and decisions. In this task, students engaged in a fun and messy experiment investigating the viscosity of different liquids. They predicted, tested, timed, recorded and displayed their data. They engaged in a collaborative, complex reasoning task to determine the order of the viscosity of 12 liquids whilst only testing four random samples each. ... See MoreSee Less
PREP FATHER'S NIGHT CELEBRATION | In the spirit of togetherness and celebration, the "Dads Are Roarsome" theme for Father's Night in Prep was an unforgettable journey back in time. Our little adventurers embarked on an exciting paleontological expedition with our dads and grandfathers. As the sun set on this memorable evening, our young explorers were transported to a time when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. Our little palaeontologists had a roaring good time as they hatched dinosaur eggs, dug for fossils, and even gave their dads prehistoric massages. It was a night of laughter, discovery, and quality time with our prehistoric pals and incredible male role models.
