Primary Swimming Carnival

The Primary Swimming Carnival is to be held at Ryde Aquatic Centre on the 12 February from 9:00am. What better way to spend a Tuesday than in the presence of 2000 litres of chlorinated water and sports stars of the future strutting their stuff to earn the right to represent the College in the upcoming Invitational Carnivals and IPSHA Swimming events.

The Carnival will start at 9:00am with the easy event…..the 200 Individual Medley where we will once again be able to marvel at the talent Newington has to offer. Who will stand up and be counted on the day? For that answer you will just have to make your way west on what promises to be the greatest carnival yet.

Game of the Week

Each Prep Talk we will look back at the rounds of sport played and pick out games or moments that stand out and make us feel proud to be part of the Newington community. These reports will be the students’ recount of the matches which are always more insightful and entertaining than my own.

Sports Star over the holidays….

Resident all-rounder and now Kingswood House Captain Alex Woolley was very busy over the holiday period, competing in a Ski program in Canada. The event was called the Silver Star Canada and Alex attended the Interschools Ski program with kids from Australia and New Zealand.

This involved 2 weeks of all mountain tuition, culminating with a giant slalom race at the end of each week. Alex won a bronze medal first week and gold the next week. A great achievement for a rising star in many ways. Well done Alex!
