A Message from Mr Holden

A warm welcome back to Term 3. I hope you and your sons enjoyed the recent winter break. The boys seem refreshed and have enjoyed a very good first week back at Wyvern. It has certainly been an active one especially with the superb Year 3 -6 Athletics Carnival on Wednesday.

Next Thursday, 1 August we are looking forward to the Wyvern Choir’s participation in the College’s annual Founder’s Concert. This is the most significant performance opportunity for the College’s top Senior School music ensembles, so the concert will be a special occasion. This year the concert will be held at Centenary Hall commencing at 6:30pm.

Just a quick reminder that parent teacher meetings are scheduled next week on Tuesday 30 July, Wednesday 31 July (selected teachers) and Thursday 1 August. Details of how to book a time slot for these meetings are included in the following link, click here.

Back to Newington Day

Back to Newington Day (BTND) is one of the biggest events on the Newington College calendar. Music, food stalls, fresh produce, a bustling marketplace and some great sport fixtures attract thousands of boys, families, staff, Old Boys, MOONs and community members to our Stanmore Road campus every year. This year we’ll also welcome families from The Scots College.

BTND is very keen for people to sign up to volunteer (just go here) or donate designer threads and books and lemons. Yes, lemons. More information on Spaces here.
