At this week’s Summer Sports Assembly we honoured our Premiership winning 1sts and 2nds Basketball, 2nds Cricket, 1st and 2nds Tennis and 2nds Water Polo teams. The students awarded Letters and Colours were also individually acknowledged along with all the boys who have proudly played in the Black and White colours this past season. Our special guests Mr Andrew Jones (ON 1990), CEO of Cricket NSW and Mr Pat Cummins, Australian, NSW and Sydney Thunder player spoke about the importance of team unity, and how the College ‘values’ that underpin our sporting program align with the recent success of Sydney Thunder. Mr Cummins also reflected on the resilience, patience and hard work that was required for him to make his way back to the highest level after a run of serious injuries. I thank all our Captains for their leadership and commitment over the past season and for the impressive way they each spoke at assembly.

Our GPS swimmers met at SOPAC last Friday night with fantastic results. Newington came 1st in the Junior and Senior and was placed 2nd in the Intermediate divisions and won the GPS relay.
