Heard in the corridor
THROWBACK THURSDAY: Newington’s first female subject head, Edith Whitaker, was appointed in 1942 following the departure of many male teachers to enlist in the army.
One of the many great women who have helped shape the Newington we know today.
Don’t forget Miss Gray, who taught at Wyvern!! She was a wonderful lady and brilliant teacher.
And Edith Jefferies who taught 3rd class at Wyvern.
Pictured here is Wyvern Year 1 student Strato, whose sister Alegra died of Brain Cancer in 2017 when she was just six years old. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and the month of Alegra's birthday.
To raise funds for cancer research and better treatment options, the Little Legs Foundation has created a virtual garden, where donors can plant a virtual daisy in support of kids like Alegra, or as a token to a loved one. Plant a daisy and donate here: www.daisygarden.com.au
