Newington College is a dynamic future-facing school. We are proud of where we have come from and of our evolution to prepare our students for societal expectations and challenges of the 21st century. Newington College is a day and boarding school that is focused on helping our students develop Great Hearts, Inspired Minds and Strong Wings. With these firm foundations alongside rigorous academic, pastoral and co-curricular opportunities, and a culture that is vibrant, caring, courageous and celebrates diversity and inclusion, Newington College provides every individual with the opportunity to thrive and be the best version of themselves. Helping our students learn to think critically and become productive, curious and kind citizens of the globe is a cornerstone of our college vision and syllabus from K to 12. Our onsite Centre for Critical Thinking and Ethics delivers external and internal programs to our students, teaching staff and the local inner-Sydney community, as well as students and teachers from across regional and rural Australia and internationally. As a lighthouse school for critical thinking, Newington College is committed to sharing its teachings in this subject and to establishing itself as a global headquarters of critical-thinking best practice in education. Because we care about each and every one of our students, we are ambitious for them. Whether they are in Kindergarten or sitting their International Baccalaureate, Higher School Certificate or undertaking Vocational Education Training (VET) in Years 11 and 12, this core objective is the beating heart of our school. We want every school day to be engaging, enriching and full of academic curiosity for our students. Whatever their career and life choices, when they leave our Newington gates for the last time, we want to help them leave to become good people, parents and partners. We are also proud of our extensive scholarship program that offers education opportunities across academia, music, sport and drama. Our pastoral care and wellbeing program underpins every aspect of college life and focuses on physical, social, emotional and relational health from our Early Learning Centre to Year 12. Our program also incorporates PDHPE, buddy programs, leadership and on-school counselling and peer support. Our headmaster, Mr Michael Parker, is a renowned educator, author and speaker, and his extensive teaching staff lead by example, ensuring each student feels valued and supported.
