Sport Report
Athletics
There has been plenty of interest from boys about being involved in the 2016 GPS Athletics program. The season has now moved into Term 3. Further information about the season will be released towards the end of Term 2.
Basketball
This season the Newington 1sts and 2nds teams were able to win their respective GPS competitions, the 1sts went through the season undefeated and the 2nds were joint premiers with Scots College. Well done to all boys who represented Newington Basketball this season!
Cricket
The 2015 – 2016 season was drawn to a close with the 2nd XI being declared joint premiers with Shore School. Shore and Newington were neck and neck all season, with the final result coming down to the final weekend. Well done to both schools on their achievement.
Rowing
Over the course of the last weekend a coxed IV entered the National Rowing Championships held at the Penrith Regatta Centre, the boys did extremely well finishing 2nd behind Melbourne High. The crew was:
- Jacob Lewin (12/MO)

We would also like to acknowledge all the Rowing boys who participated in the Head of River Regatta on Saturday 12 March.
Tennis
Newington Tennis had a stellar season with both the 1sts and 2nds teams going through their seasons undefeated. Despite suffering some injuries towards the end of the season the boys held their nerve in the final weekend to secure the victory.
In closing we would like to acknowledge all the Year 12 boys who have played their last season of Summer Sport for the College and thank them for all their efforts over their time at the School.
