The Newhaven Christmas Fete on November 17 was the first school fete held in 25 years.
One of the highlights of the event was sliming some of the College leadership team: Head of Junior School Ralph Arceo, Head of Operations Brett Torstonson, Principal Tony Corr, and Head of Middle School Geoff White.

The Newhaven Christmas Fete on November 17 was the first school fete held in 25 years.
The fete was an initiative of the re-established Parents and Friends Association (PFA).
It has been a busy year for this industrious team, bringing a positive and vibrant energy to the College community through a number of exciting events.
The Christmas College Fete was a terrific way to wrap up the year.
What a terrific day it was, with perfect weather and a large turn out from the College and local community. The rides were a huge success, especially with the younger children.
The Star Lotto Raffle created a buzz, with incredible prizes on offer. Food and wine from local vendors was enjoyed by families who stayed to soak up the atmosphere.
Music performances by students of all ages boomed out from the sound stage for everyone to enjoy. The event was MC’d by funny and talented Newhaven College mum Natasha Crestani.
The highlight of the event, for many, was the ‘sliming’ of some of the College leadership team: Principal Tony Corr, Head of Junior School Ralph Arceo, Head of Middle School Geoff White, Principal PA Katrina Lawrence and the most ‘slimy’ attention was given to teacher and Head of Operations, Brett Torstonson.
A Newhaven College spokesperson extended a huge thank you to the PFA team, parent volunteers and staff “for their tireless efforts to bring this incredible event together”.
“Newhaven College’s sense of community is enhanced by a strong support network, and events like these play a crucial role in fostering a sense of unity and pride among students, parents and staff.
“Congratulations to the Newhaven College PFA for a successful year of community team building and fundraising.”
