The Delama Room is a room dedicated to learning during class times and available as a lounge during breaks. The college runs a tutoring program for First Nations students in Years 9 – 12 during school hours and has additional support available for all year levels through our Extended School Day Program. We are proud to be the first school in Victoria to partner with the Polly Farmer Foundation. The Follow the Dream Program, run by the Polly Farmer Foundation, will be supporting First Nations students in Years 7 – 12 soon.

Deborah Joy Cheetham Fraillon AO, is an Aboriginal Australian soprano, actor, composer and playwright.
Furthermore, NBC staff have undertaken DET Community Understanding and Safety (CUST) Training. CUST is designed to be an introduction to ongoing learning and engagement with Aboriginal perspectives through meaningful collaboration between local Aboriginal communities and schools.
