Last November, we were proud to let you know all about the College’s Endowment Fund following the successful launch of the Fund at the P&F Newington Ball. On that night some 600 parents and a few Old Boys donated a combined $170,000 to kick start the Newington parents’ involvement in supporting the Endowment Fund.

The Endowment Fund has the goal to raise sufficient funds to provide up to 100 Bursaries at any one time, so that Boys of Promise whose families cannot afford a Newington education have the opportunity to become Newington Men of Substance. Newington’s diversity has always been its strength and the Endowment Fund will ensure that in perpetuity, our socio-economic diversity will be maintained – for the benefit of all the boys at Newington.

We hope that, as past parents of the College with Newington fees well behind you, that you have had the chance to reflect on the value of the Newington education that you provided for your son. Perhaps you may think it would be a good thing to provide, in a small way, the opportunity for another boy not in as secure financial circumstances, to also benefit from a Newington education.

With the end of the financial year fast approaching, a fully tax deductible donation to the Endowment Fund for the equivalent of an instalment; a term or a year’s fees, will make a big difference to another boy’s life, forever.

The Endowment Fund is ambitious but essential if we are to keep Newington available for all boys, of all backgrounds.

They say that one can only see so far because we stand on the shoulders of giants that have come before.

Will you join us in being the giants for the next Newington generation?
