Two years later he won his first rowing race — as a member of the Newington 1st VIII. The race was the 1997 GPS Head of the River. It would change his life but never his capacity to believe that the impossible was possible. James Chapman (Old Newingtonian ’97) Member of the Australian Coxless Fours, Silver Medallist, London Olympics 2012. Welcome, Our aim is to motivate boys to be well-rounded individuals who are fully prepared and confident in facing adulthood in the 21st century. We believe that in order to lead successful lives, boys must be motivated to learn, and this is fundamental to everything we offer at Newington. Newington’s four pillars of education — academic, pastoral, spiritual and co-curricular — are the foundations of the College’s liberal and holistic education. We encourage our boys to be open-minded and tolerant, to think freely and not be bound by traditional or conventional ideas; to be imaginative and creative; to be themselves — at their best.
