Fencing

Newington recently competed at the National School Teams Championships in Brisbane, with the Men’s Sabre team of Jasper Rowley (11/ME), Jayce Carrano (10/MA) and Boston Fawkes (8/ME) (pictured above) winning Gold. In the Men’s Foil Competition, Newington placed a very competitive 4th place, with Alex Mei (10/JN) placing 6th individually. This is an excellent achievement, especially considering it was Newington’s first time competing at state level. For a more in-depth report of the tour, please click here.

Football

Newington has advanced to the final of the CIS Football Cup with a 1:0 win over the Kings School which was played at Hensley Athletic Field, Eastgardens on Monday 6 August. We now meet St Pius who defeated St Joseph’s College in extra time 3:2 with the final being played on Thursday 23 August at Seymour Shaw in Miranda.

Rifle Shooting

After a 40 year absence from GPS Rifle Shooting, Newington re-entered the competition this year. Rifle Shooting is the oldest sport in the AAGPS and it was great to see Newington back competing. The best shooters for Newington during competition were Darcy Pointon (11/JN) and Bryce Moon (12/ME). If you are interested in rifle shooting as a sport and are in Year 8 or above then see Mr Watson.
