Newington Basketball competed at the Australian Schools Championships in Canberra in early December 2014. With 40 boys playing in four divisions – 1sts in the U20 D1, 2nds in the U20 D3, 16s in the U17 D1 and our 15s in 14s D1. The week provided an excellent basketball experience for all involved as well as an educational one with visits  to Parliament House and Australian War Memorial. The experience gave our boys and staff exposure to the best schoolboy basketball in Australia, and clearly showed areas for improvement. The “on floor” highlight was the 1sts winning the Gold for the third year running in the U20 D1 level. The level of competition was high because three of the six teams were sports high schools.
