Energy and enthusiasm were high in the air when Wednesday 11 June came around, as the K – 6 boys were very excited about completing the Walkathon. The passports were ready to go with six checkpoints on them. The boys started at the entrance of Swain Gardens and finished in the Junior Primary Playground where they danced to ‘HAPPY’.  

Along the way were some challenges the boys needed to complete, and they did so with excellence.  Each class set off in 20 minute intervals with Kindergarten and Year 6 completing their walk at 10:20am.  The final presentation was in the Junior Primary playground where the top fundraisers for each class were presented with a certificate from Mr Wyatt.

Thank you to all the parents volunteers who assisted and the families and friends who sponsored the boys.  The proceeds will be used to purchase some special furniture for The Lookout.

Thank you for your generous support of our 2014 Walkathon!

There was a fabulous vibe at our third Newington Walkathon with our boys, parents, grandparents, friends and teachers embracing the spirit of the morning!

It was wonderful to see so many smiles and watch the boys having fun as they completed some of the interesting checkpoint challenges.

Special thanks to our volunteers who were able to walk with a class or be at a checkpoint. Thank you to our Social & Fundraising Committee in particular, Melissa Hunter and Kim Stevens (Yr 2 parents).

Thank you to all who contributed; your support is greatly appreciated. We are delighted to announce that through your generosity, we raised an impressive $4,765.90 with all these funds going to the refurbishment of The Lookout.

Thanks again … enjoy your holiday!
