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 sons’ 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 Boy. 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 Boys 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 Old Boys who have sustained the College’s vision through their post-school achievements
- Encourage greater association by Old Boys in the life, values and history of the College
- Identify Old Boys who are exceptional role models for current students
