2023 Newman Symposium

2023 Newman Symposium

This year, the Newman Symposium was held on Monday 13 November to celebrate student talent and achievement here at the College.

The theme of this year’s Symposium was ‘Pursue the Possibilities‘. In a world that is rapidly changing, there is a growing interest in fostering the creative thinking abilities of our students. With this focus, our Newman teachers tasked their classes with developing new ways of thinking and constructing knowledge, as well as encouraging students to seek improvements in current systems and processes. In addition, they urged students to approach new challenges with the aim of creating innovative strategies and to think outside the box when solving problems.

The afternoon’s program was a wonderful display of the range of student talent here at the College.  The presentations were from a variety of subject areas that provided guests a glimpse into the extension-level work our Newman Program students have engaged in throughout the year. Each presentation was led by Newman students – this was an opportunity for them to take charge and celebrate their own successes, achievements and growth.

Each presentation exemplified the outstanding effort and dedication of both Newman students and their teachers.

Well done!
