Years 7-11 Awards Ceremony 2020
Today we celebrated the Years 7-11 Awards for the Academic, Cultural and Sporting pursuits of students.
Over two assemblies, we heard a number of musical items by the Newman Voices, along with an item from our upcoming college production Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical.
In his Principal’s Address, Mr Finneran reflected on how lucky we are to be living in Western Australia and to be able to gather together. He asked our students to view their education as a precious gift and to embrace the opportunities afforded to them to enhance their Newman College experience.
