On Sunday, 14 August, the Newington team joined hundred and thousands of Sydneysiders at the Annual City2Surf 14 km run.

This year, the Newington team had 360 participants including boys, staff, parents, friends and Old Boys. All together we raised over $50,000 for the Humpty Dumpty Foundation.

Congratulations to everyone who participated, I hope you all had as much fun as I did. I know that I speak on behalf of the Newington community when I thank Claire from the Humpty Dumpty Foundation and Julie Gigg from the Community and Development team for all of their organisation and planning. The Tent at the end of the race was incentive enough for me to do it all again next year! It was a fantastic way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
 
Special thanks goes to the Year 12 boys who have completed the race for three years in a row. I hope you all return next year as Old Boys and to the many staff who turned up on the day, Mr Nathan Parnham, Mr Sean Corcoran, Ms Caroline Naguib to name a few.
