COMMUNITY
Newington Community SpiritNewington College is committed to supporting and working with local and international community organisations, both to give something back, and to encourage understanding amongst our students of the issues and challenges faced in the wider world. This is a natural extension of our appreciation of the value of nurturing our Newington community, including staff, students, and their families, council members and old boys. The school has a number of dedicated and hard-working groups, which provide opportunities for members of the community to take part in the life of the College, while enhancing the lives of our students. As well as the Parents & Friends Association and its subsidiaries, there are a number of sporting and cultural groups who play a vital role in supporting programs and events. There is a very active Old Newingtonians' Union (ONU), a College Foundation and an alumni network of almost 10,000 old boys. The
Newington community includes: Community Events PlanningFor an event to be organised at Newington, the following steps need to be followed: • Initial contact is to be made with Andrew Hirst on 9568 9322 or Lindsay Raven on 9568 9409.
