On what was a glorious sunny Sunday May 26, over 170 of our Year 10,11 and 12 boys volunteered to participate in this year’s Red Shield door knock appeal. Once again we were fortunate to enjoy the support of over 30 Newington parents and staff, combined with a team of 20 volunteers from our local Rotary who all acted as drivers, enabling us to cover a wide area of our local suburbs. This year for the first time we were also joined by a group of approximately 30 senior boys and girls from Casimir Catholic College in Marrickville. All together we managed to raise a record amount of $22,921 (with more to come from all the donation envelopes left in letterboxes of those not at home).

This was an example of the Newington community at its very best and all those involved can be extremely proud of their achievements!
