Admission of girls to the private school will proceed despite almost 800 former students voting out alumni union president Alexander Pagonis
The president of Newington college’s alumni union has been voted out of his position amid the continuing fracas over the school’s decision to admit girls.
The resolutions included votes of no confidence in the headteacher and the ONU and asking the council to “use all available measures to see the reversal of the decision … to transition Newington College to co-education”.

Protesters told Channel Nine that they saw the decision to allow girls into the school as “woke, toxic-masculinity type palaver”. One former student, Tony Ratsos, told Nine News as he fought back tears: “I’m an old boy of the school, my son is also an old boy, and the intention was always that I’d have a grandson. But I won’t bring him to a co-ed school.”
