Last week, a group of demonstrators gathered outside Sydney's Newington College to protest against the school's plans to open enrolments to girls. The decision by the prestigious boy's school follows a trend of single-sex schools across the country going co-ed. TDA Reporter Chloe Christie spoke to Phillip Heath, the head of Barker College, about the school's transition to co-ed.
