Newington College

Alumni Awards

Celebrating the achievements of our Alumni

Newington Medal and ONU Centennial Trust

Many individuals and families have made outstanding contributions to the welfare and future of the College through their voluntary support and participation in college life during and often beyond their children’s schooling.

Newington Medal

An initiative of the College Council, the Newington Medal was first awarded in December 2006 and is the most prestigious Award the College can bestow on an Old Newingtonian. Meritorious and commendable achievement is assessed on the:

  • recipient’s contribution to his nominated field of endeavour
  • extent to which the recipient’s contribution has benefited the community
  • benefit derived by Newington through the recipient’s contribution to the life and future of the College

The Newington Medal recognises Old Newingtonians whose services and contributions have made a significant difference to the welfare and future of the College and to the quality of life of Australians or to humanity in other countries around the world. By awarding the Newington Medal the College aims to:

  • acknowledge alumni who have sustained the College’s vision through their post-school achievements
  • encourage greater association by Old Newingtonians in the life, values and history of the College
  • Identify Old Newingtonians who are exceptional role models for current students.
