Your Child’s Journey Through Secondary School
Middle High School Years
As students enter their Middle Years of Schooling we continue to seek the development of the whole person by challenging them to explore their interests and passions. In this developmental stage we seek to promote young people who become:
- Adaptable and flexible in their attitude to learning
- Creative and imaginative thinkers who are able to work in teams to problem solve
- Informed and strong advocates of Social Justice issues using the Gospel values as guidance
- Strong advocates for positive and optimistic social change
Senior High School Years
In Senior education years students are encouraged to discover and develop their interests and strengths so that they might aspire to leading meaningful lives.
As a result, a wide range of academic options await the students whilst Music, Visual Arts, Drama, Dance, Woodwork, Fabrics, Food Technology, Health, STEM, Italian, Outdoor Education, Sport and Technology are further opportunities.
In addition, pathways and career counselling resources are available to students to assist in navigating current and future choices.
A wide range of sporting pursuits exist within the College program and beyond in the form of the Newman Sporting Association which offers eight sporting clubs at community level.

Sienna Learning Centre
At the heart of Secondary Schooling at Newman College lies the Siena Learning Centre. This is an interactive learning space, representing the modern library.
The Centre not only hosts lessons and learning experiences throughout each day, it is the hub of learning, including the after hours homework club which often see in excess of 100 students granted access to tutors and mentors to support development.
The New Learning Hub
It is a very exciting time for the staff and students at Newman College with the construction of our new Learning Hub now underway. This facility will see students afforded state of the art learning resources that support our Vision for Learning.
The new Learning Hub will encourage agility, movement and flexible learning environments to support a range of formal and informal learning activities, and provide opportunities for connections between the year groups, staff and the broader community. The Learning Hub will be a resource for children in Years 3 – 12 to enjoy.
In particular, it will provide flexible learning spaces, break out areas, presentation zones and library resources that will service this broader student cohort.
The New Learning Hub is expected to be commissioned in January 2021.
