24.01.2022 Congratulations to Tom Charley (ON 2019) who has been selected for the Young Writers Showcase 2019, a publication of exceptional English Extension 2 Major Works for that year. Toms Creative Non-Fiction Major Work, called Smoke, Fire, Lies and Truth: The Yellow Jacket Movement and the future of the West was incisive, provocative and engaging. Selection for this publication is a rare honour and is testament to the hard work that goes into a year-long project of this kind. #strongwings

15.01.2022 A very loud shout-out to the Newington College staff members who've been here more than 20 years (there are 34 of them!). Topping the list are Mr Stan Comino, who has been sharing his wisdom for 48 years, Mr Steve Zuffo, who is retiring after 47 years keeping our grounds and buildings secure, and our indomitable Head of Academic Administration Mr Lindsay Raven, who has chalked up 40 years.

08.01.2022 So what tastes better for lunch, frozen or fresh snags? Just ask Ruben Merani, winner of the Primary Young Scientist Award and equal first place in the Primary Scientific Investigations 56 category of the STANSW Young Scientist Awards! Ruben has been investigating whether using frozen or fresh sausages has an effect on how they taste (and his family have been discovering just how many sausages they can eat!) He's also one of only 24 finalists in the national BHP Foundation S...cience and Engineering Awards! But before we get to cooking we’ll need to clean up and check in with Bryant Diep, who won equal first place in the Mathematical Investigations 34 category after testing more than 30 types of hand sanitiser to determine if they were effective in killing viruses and bacteria. And for the after-lunch cricket game, Robert Walker has all the info on how the summer heat might affect how high the ball bounces he’s found that when cricket balls are dropped, they bounce to 76cm when heated and 56cm when cooled, and he’s won equal first place in the Most Promising K6 category. Well done to all our young scientists from Wyvern who have been exploring the exciting world of STEM over the past few months! http://www.youngscientist.com.au/ See more

06.01.2022 Today it was the turn of Year 9 boys who were named on the Headmaster's List for Academic Effort to join Mr Parker for morning tea. They have really applied themselves to their lessons in the past two terms ... congratulations on your hard work, boys!

05.01.2022 Talk about building up your skills! Congratulations to Year 12 VET student Aiden Helu who has received the Southern Sydney Business Education Network VET Excellence Award. In Year 11, Aiden began studying Construction, a course that allowed him to gain hands-on experience in both the commercial and residential building sector. I chose to study a VET course whilst at school because it offers the capacity to engage and challenge individual talents and capabilities for further... education and training and lifelong learning. It also involves a lot of hands-on work along the way to give you an idea of the possible occupations that can branch from undergoing the course. #inspiredminds

05.01.2022 Whod have thought our Year 12 Rugby boys would get so emotional at their recognition presentation? The descriptions of the friendships theyve formed - often over many, many years playing together - and the wise words of Mr Fear were heartwarming, uplifting ... and sometimes very funny! A special thanks to the Newington College Rugby Association for the fantastic gift bags the boys received. #greathearts

02.01.2022 Well done to Year 11 IB students Alexander Palmer, Colin Chen, Martin Duong and Alexander Watson on the creation of The Academic Wingman Program. The boys have created this peer assistance service for boys in Years 7-10 as part of their IB Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) project. The program involves senior students providing guidance and support to younger students across a range of subjects. We specifically designed this program to be inclusive for all people of all abilities and to encourage anyone who needs assistance with their schoolwork to book a session, said Alexander Palmer. The boys hope to continue this program into Term 4 and beyond. What a wonderful initiative! #greathearts
