Newhaven College Fundraising
Congratulations to our Year 12 Leadership who led the College to raise an incredible $14,198 for Bali Children Foundation. Mr Patrick Barry from BCF attended our Year 12 final assembly and was presented with the cheque for $14,198 by our College Captains.
A huge thank you to all our students, families and staff who participated in the fundraising events and donated throughout the year.

During assembly this week, the House Cup winners were announced and given the coveted Cup! The House competition covers a huge area of events, from sporting events such as swimming, cross country, athletics and volleyball, to the stunning Art Competition held at the Performing Arts Wing.

MotoGP Ride By
Last Thursday, some our students were thrilled to watch the Australian Grand Prix 2025 Homecoming Ride, led by MotoGP World Champion Casey Stoner as it travelled past our front gates.
The students waved their flags, and Casey and his entourage waved back!
And to top it off, Katrina Lawrence, our Executive Assistant to the Principal, rubbed shoulders with the one and only Chris Hemsworth!
VCE Art & Design Exhibition
On Wednesday we celebrated the opening of the VCE Art & Design Exhibition in the Performing Arts Wing.
Students, friends and family congregated to enjoy cupcakes (lovingly supplied by our Food Tech students) and check out the works on display.
The exhibition highlights the outstanding Unit 3 and 4 works from the following subjects:
- Art Making and Exhibiting
- Visual Communication Design
- Media
- Product Design and Technologies
- Systems Engineering
The proceedings were presented by Visual Art Captain Sienna Bell. Art teacher Rebecca Power announced the prizes awarded to Michael Mehes for ‘Best in Show’ and the encouragement award went to Ailish Flynn for her hard-working and committed attitude. There was no doubt these two students represented all of the outstanding talent in the VCE cohort.
Open until Friday 31 October during school hours.
Georgia's Brave Shave
Hi, my name is Georgia, and I am doing the Brave Shave fundraiser at school, where I’m shaving my head for cancer research and a cure. I know the way that cancer can affect a family or a community. In my mere 15 years on this Earth, I have known too many people diagnosed with cancer and most didn’t survive their battle, so that’s why I plan to help stop it. But I need help from my community, and even the smallest contribution helps in the biggest way possible to create a cancer-free world for everybody.

Celebrating Children's Week
Children's Week is a national celebration. It recognises the talents, skills, achievements and rights of children. The event takes place in October every year, with thousands of Victorian children taking part in the festivities. Children’s Week 2025 will be held between 18 October – 26 October 2025.
The Children’s Week theme for 2025 is: “Everyone should know about Children’s Rights”.
We thought this might be a good opportunity to promote Child Safe standard 3.1, about children’s rights:
Children and young people must know they have rights, including:
- The right to feel and be safe.
- The right to information and support.
- The right to participate in decisions that affect them.
To comply, schools should ensure that:
- Information about children’s rights is visible, accessible, and embedded in school culture.
- Students are taught about their rights through the curriculum and co-curricular programs.
- Students are supported to exercise their rights, particularly in relation to safety and participation.
- Families and the broader school community understand and reinforce these rights.
