Valedictory Day 2017
Valedictory Day 2017
Do you remember years back in Centenary Hall after years of emotions watching your son go through the tunnel and embracing his fellow Newingtonians. On Friday 22nd September, the Class of 2017 continued that tradition to celebrate the end of their official schooling. The Centenary Hall was filled with the proud parents of the 230 students attending the ceremony that graduates them into the Old Newingtonian Union (ONU). Guest speaker Jack van der Vegt (ON 2012) took the boys through his journey beyond Newington including the reality that Mum didn’t make his lunch anymore.
Many of you shared rich and engaging experiences whilst your son was at Newington and we know from conversations we have had, that Newington will continue to hold a special place for many of you. You are very much a part of the fabric of our community and you can be a permanent part of Newington history with the purchase of a seat or wall plaque in the Duckmanton Drama Centre or a seat in the Old Boys Lecture Theatre.
All purchases are fully tax deductible
- Seat in the Duckmanton Drama Centre – $990 each
- Wall Plaque in the Duckmanton Drama Centre – $330 each
- Seat in the Old Boys Lecture Theatre – $4000 each
All of these options come with your name and ON year or family name engraved onto a plaque that will be part of Newington’s history forever. For further information please contact development@newington.nsw.edu.au
Each year Newington hosts reunions for 5, 10 and 15 years so if you are still collecting your son’s mail, encourage him to attend and reunite with the Black and White.
