Newington College is a school bustling with opportunity and rigour. We aim to teach students to think critically, stretch their learning and approach life with curiosity, kindness, and open-mindedness, and that also applies to everyone who works here - from the teachers and grounds staff to the finance and admissions teams.
What else sets us apart? We strive to create a culture underpinned by our diverse and inclusive care for our community – students, parents, carers, staff, alumni, and neighbours – and by an appreciation of the importance of service. The College is supported by a strong sense of integrity, respect, fairness and responsibility. Collaboration and support are also key, so we ensure all staff have the resources available to make the most of every opportunity.
Founded in 1863 by the Uniting Church, the College has more than two thousand students across four vibrant campuses from our Early Learning Centre through to Year 12. In 2026, Newington will enter an exciting new phase as the College transitions to co-education starting with Kindergarten and Grade Five, becoming fully co-educational by 2033. Our students will enter a world that will require them to walk and work alongside all genders collaboratively, respectfully, and empathetically as colleagues, employers, employees, partners, parents and friends. We want to ensure the College remains a vibrant, contemporary institution, in step with the society it is part of.
