Newington College 2026 Push For Better
This is Newington College community page for the Push For Better Challenge in 2026.
The Push Up Challenge has been an important event for Fletcher House for several years, and recently this support has broadened to include more Houses and year groups within the College. It is a proactive mental health exercise promoting health education and building stronger communities.
Through the Push Up Challenge, students in Fletcher House hope to lead the College in promotion of positive mental health through encouraging physical exercise and community involvement.
In 2025 Newington College raised more than $20,000 and this year, we’re setting our goal higher!
Thank you for your support and contribution, every push up and dollar counts.

Hey Jacob, Good on you for taking the time out to help support other people for this very important initiative. You may never know when someone you know needs a little love and support and these services go along way to doing that and saving lives. You might not wear cape or wear your undies on the outside but you sir are a superhero, You should try the undies on the outside thing its weird at first but you get used to it. Good luck!!
