Cancer Council Fundraising
The Year 12 leadership team is very pleased to announce that this year, Newhaven College will be fundraising to support the Cancer Council. We are excited to be supporting a charity that does such important work including Cancer research, treatment, and supporting families affected by Cancer. We also feel that the Charity is
a great fit for our school community, and that in partnership we can work to maximise our fundraising efforts as a school this year.
Here's the link to our online fundraising page. We'd love your support!

Year 10 Geography Fieldwork
Our Year 10 Geographer’s recently collected important data and observations in the field. We have been exploring changing environments, in particular changing coastal landscapes. Students analysed the use, impacts and management strategies at Cape Woolami, Summerlands Peninsula and Cowes East Beach. This fieldwork will inform their geographic research question.
A great opportunity for authentic learning in the local environment.

Running Shoes for Africa
Following 2019 alumni James Mercer's callout for running shoe donations at a Senior School assembly recently, students and families eagerly donated dozens of pairs of 'retired' running shoes.
On Friday, 22nd March, James' mother, Tracey Mercer, arrived to collect the donated shoes on behalf of her son. Tracey shared with us the remarkable news that James was personally taking over 100 kilos worth of shoes to Africa this week and any surplus shoes would accompany James on his upcoming trip to Kenya in June, where he will be running a boot camp.
Tracey Mercer emphasised that the shoes collected by Newhaven College would not only benefit running clubs but would also be distributed to children who walk barefoot to school, sometimes traversing over 10 kilometres. The impact of such donations goes far beyond the mere provision of footwear; it represents a lifeline for those in need, offering comfort, protection, and hope for a better future.
Tracey expressed her gratitude on behalf of James and herself, emphasising how overwhelming the support from Newhaven College has been. She also extended her appreciation to local sports stores whose generous donations further bolstered their efforts.
