Our wonderful College Receptionists; Kathryn Clarke and Cate Lukins have once again set up a Christmas Giving Tree for The Exodus Foundation which, among other works, runs the Loaves and Fishes Restaurant in Ashfield, a regular service supported by our Year 11 Volunteers and our Year 7 vegetable garden.

We are appealing to ALL Newington families to donate items, non-perishable foods (cans) and gifts appropriate for all ages, which can be placed under the beautifully decorated Christmas Tree located near Reception .

Exodus will pick these donations up for distribution a week out from Christmas. (Hopefully they will need a large truck!)

It would be great if we could get each and every boy in the school to bring a contribution and bring a bit of Christmas cheer to the lives of some of our less fortunate neighbours in the Inner West community.

Let’s try to make it a Merry Christmas for ALL in our local community!
