Newcomb Park Primary School

Welcome to Newcomb Park Primary School, a vibrant and inclusive educational institution located at Richard Street in Newcomb, Australia. As a prominent establishment and point of interest in the community, we are proud to be a primary school dedicated to providing excellent education and fostering a strong sense of community.

At Newcomb Park Primary School, we believe in the importance of building a sense of belonging and unity among our students. That's why we kick off the school year with our unique program called 'Jump Into Newcomb!' Over the first two weeks, all classes participate in various social activities and engage in the creation of classroom expectations and routines. This program aims to strengthen the bond within each classroom, creating a supportive and collaborative learning environment.

One of the exciting activities we offer at our school is Gaga Ball. Originating in Israel, Gaga Ball is a fast-paced sport played in an octagonal pit. The name Gaga is derived from the Hebrew word 'ga,' meaning 'hit' or 'touch.' This thrilling game combines the skills of dodging, running, and jumping, as players aim to hit opponents with a soft ball below the knees. Gaga Ball provides a fun and active way for our students to develop their physical abilities and sportsmanship.

As we appreciate and respect the rich history of our land, we acknowledge the Wadawurrung people as the traditional custodians of the land upon which our school stands. We recognize their deep connection to country, waterways, skies, and land. It is essential for us to pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, as we strive to create a culturally diverse and inclusive environment for all.

Newcomb Park Primary School is committed to providing a high-quality education that nurtures the growth and development of each student. With dedicated teachers and staff, a strong sense of community, and a range of engaging activities, we are proud to be a leading primary school in the Newcomb area. Join us in creating a bright future for your child at Newcomb Park Primary School.
