A select few of our student’s ranging from Years 7 – 10 have entered the ‘NSW Young ICT Explorers’ competition. It has been designed to enable students in Years 4 – 12 to put forward an ‘Information Communication Technology’ project individually or in a group.

This select group had the opportunity to go to the SAP building in North Sydney and meet Australian Cricket legend Mark Taylor. As a former Australian cricket captain and an SAP ambassador, Mark provided the boys with some fantastic stories and advised them on the importance of teamwork, collaboration, and developing leadership skills in young people.

These boys really are the future of technology with some of our students designing some superb items such as Apps, Games, and Solar Chargers for Macbooks to name but a few. I encourage the entire Newington Community to get behind these boys in the final stages of the competition in August!
