Overview

Newington College is a comprehensive Early Learning Centre (ELC) to Year 12 Day and Boarding school located in Sydney, Australia. Founded in 1863, we are more than 160 years in the making and, as a Uniting Church school, offer high-quality education and a diverse co-curricular program to primary and secondary school students across four spacious campuses.From 2026, we will welcome girls into Kindergarten and Year 5 in our preparatory schools, Wyvern and Lindfield. In 2028, we welcome girls into Year 7 and Year 11 at our Senior campus in Stanmore. By 2033, the College will be fully co-educational.  This history changing move reflects Newington’s commitment to embracing diversity and fostering inclusiveness within our connected school and alumni community. Our evolution to a co-educational institution highlights our commitment to enriching our learning environment with diverse perspectives and experiences, preparing students to serve in a globally interconnected world.

Newington College spans four Sydney campuses. Our senior campus, catering to students in Years 7–12, and our Wyvern House Preparatory campus, for students in Years K–6, are located in the inner-city suburb of Stanmore. These campuses sit alongside our Early Learning Centre (ELC), which caters for three-to five-year-old students. Our expansive Lindfield Preparatory K–6 campus is set amongst leafy bushland in Sydney’s northern suburbs and offers the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (IB PYP). Our beautiful 200-hectare rural campus, Eungai Creek, is located on NSW’s mid north coast between Sydney and Brisbane and is home to our service-learning immersion curriculum and outdoor education program.
