What does Level 3 look like for Nayland College?

In a period of much upheaval, it has been a challenge for students and teachers to find a way to make sense of the circumstances we find ourselves in. Nayland English teacher Amanda Wharton decided to harness the situation by getting her class to reach out to those in isolation at the Flaxmore Lifecare Home.

Nayland Alumni Matthew Edmonds, Merlyn Barrer and Matthew Suter are three of only eleven students nationwide that have been allowed to go straight into 200 Level science subjects during their first year of university. This has primarily been because of their good results in scholarship and level 3. Matthew Edmonds was also granted the $6000 Lonsdale scholarship.

Please see attached our 'Learning@Home' guide to assist students in the coming days and weeks.

Over the coming months, we will be running profiles of our new staff so you can get to know them better.

One of this year's student leaders, Ruby Vidgen, has a keen interest in politics and a keener interest in people. She’s Year 13 at Nayland, and yet her skills in coordinating, communicating and leading others surpass many of those much older than her.
