Turning 150 deserves a large celebration and last week was absolutely no exception to that rule. Memorable moments in schools occur on a regular basis, however the events of last week were something particularly special.

Last Tuesday, I was privileged to attend the official Newington Thanksgiving Service and opening of the new Rae and Pyke buildings at Stanmore. It was a brilliant service, with musical performances from the Stanmore and Tupou College boys as well as the official opening by The Governor of NSW, Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir.

Wednesday’s Founders Concert was nothing short of incredible as boys from across all 3 campuses showcased their amazing musical talents at Town Hall.

Perhaps the highlight of the week was last Friday’s Chapel Service which was simply amazing! Twenty two boys from the Tupou College contingent and Rev. Uikilifi Tonga joined us for our Sesquicentenary Thanksgiving Service. The service was filled with the beautiful and powerful singing of the Tupou boys as they performed, sang and danced for our boys. Prior to the service the Tupou boys (from Years 7 to 12) enjoyed playing in the playground with our boys. It was a true celebration of the brotherhood we share with Tupou College.
