“It’s hard to keep fighting but myself and a lot of people on this link have worked very hard to fight against the bullshit that is destroying a school we love,” Morgan wrote.In the email, Morgan also encourages the recipients to “never give up” and to oppose the school’s “strategic direction”. Guardian Australia sent detailed questions to Morgan and called his chambers but did not receive a response. Two people who received Morgan’s email said he had recalled it on Thursday afternoon, after he was contacted by Guardian Australia.
Nearly 800 former students attended the SGM and opponents of the co-ed move successfully passed all five resolutions put to the meeting, including votes of no confidence in the headteacher and spilling the leadership of the ONU’s council. Seven alumni are on the college council, according to the school’s website. The ONU has the right to appoint six members of the college council.Newington alumnus Kerry Trollope told Guardian Australia he was “vehemently opposed” to the school becoming co-ed.“We’re part of a group that is fighting really hard to try to reverse the decision … in my heart of hearts I think it’s not going to work, but I’ll fight tooth and nail to the end.
