Newman Symposium
On Monday 18 November, our annual Newman Symposium was held at the College. The Newman Program offers students in Years 7-10 dynamic and inspiring learning environments that fosters curiosity, creativity and critical thinking. As part of the program, students are provided with a range of enrichment and extension opportunities designed to challenge and engage young minds. These opportunities not only extend classroom learning but also encourage personal growth, leadership and a passion for lifelong learning.
The afternoon brought together students, parents and staff to celebrate the academic and personal growth of those students involved in the Newman Program. Students had a chance to showcase presentations of various student projects. Students shared their experiences and spoke confidently about the skills they had gained through extension opportunities at the College. The afternoon commenced with Musical performances followed by presentations from all learning areas, including short films from English, Languages and Religious Education, practical models and timber work made in Technology and Science alongside complex Mathematics problem solving, and presentations from HSIE and PDHPE.
Overall the Newman Symposium was a wonderful celebration of all the achievements of our students and a reminder of the exciting opportunities that lie ahead in the Newman Program.
