Based in the inner west of Sydney, Australia, just 10 minutes from the city centre, Newington College was founded in 1863 under the Wesleyan Methodist Church. The aim was to establish a school that would provide students with a modern liberal education. Now over 160 years in the making and as a Uniting Church school, the College offers high quality education, boarding capacity, and a diverse co-curricular program to primary and secondary school students.

The Edmund Webb Boarding House is just a five-minute walk from the senior campus and is the home away from home for a close-knit group of 50 students. Boarding staff are all academic staff at the College and live onsite with their own families. Boarding is open to students from Years 9 to 12, with Year 11 and 12 students enjoying a single room, and Year 9 and 10 students provided with a shared room. All rooms have individual bathrooms.

Renowned for helping students develop Great Hearts, Inspired Minds and Strong Wings, Newington College builds firm foundations with rigorous academic, wellbeing and cocurricular opportunities, and a culture that is vibrant, caring, courageous and celebrates diversity and inclusion. Each and every individual student is given the opportunity to thrive, feel seen and heard, and be the best version of themselves.

At the heart of Newington’s philosophy is the belief that education is about more than academics alone. The school offers over 50 co-curricular activities, including Drama, Music (with more than 15 ensembles, orchestras and bands), CineArts, F1 in Schools, Ethics, Debating, Sustainability and Gender Equity. Sports include AFL, rugby, tennis, volleyball, football, basketball and swimming and all students undertake outdoor education in the form of Cadets or the Newington Challenge. Students are not only academically prepared but also emotionally intelligent, resilient and ready to make a positive impact to society.

In 2026, the dynamic, future facing school will also be marking an exciting milestone by welcoming female students to Kindergarten and Year 5 on Preparatory campuses in Lindfield and Stanmore. Enrolment to the Senior campus at Stanmore will begin in Year 7 and Year 11 in 2028. This exciting transition marks the start of Newington College’s journey
to becoming a fully co-educational school by 2033.
