Newington College is accredited to offer International Baccalaureate and Cambridge IGCSE as well as the Higher School Certificate and Vocational Education and Training (VET).
Academics
Newington College offers the Higher School Certificate (HSC), International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB) and Vocational Education and Training (VET) pathways. We also help our students develop the skills to think broadly and deeply through our Centre for Critical Thinking and Ethics. This delivers a bespoke critical thinking program, by world leading experts to teaching staff and students in Years K to 12.
Extra curricular
Newington’s extensive Co-Curricular program offers diverse opportunities for students to excel beyond the classroom. Our extensive Co-Curricular program uses the same Learning and Teaching framework as our Academic program and provides enormous scope to develop passions and skills outside the classroom. Students are encouraged to be self-directed, inquisitive and reflective learners – whether it’s in the rehearsal room, in a debating competition or on the playing field. The Senior School Co-Curricular program includes everything from rugby, cricket, fencing, snow sports, cricket, football, rowing and cadets to the performing arts, chess, drama, music and performance and many more.
At our preparatory campuses, Lindfield and Wyvern, our students can engage in competitive chess, creative art, debating, public speaking and a variety of sports including swimming, athletics and cricket. With clubs focusing on STEM, robotics, drama, and languages, as well as opportunities in martial arts, hip hop and coding, our preparatory schools foster a vibrant environment where students excel and explore their passions beyond the classroom.
Boarding
Newington College offers boarding for students in Years 9–12. The Edmund Webb Boarding House, conveniently located just a five-minute walk from the senior campus in Stanmore, provides a supportive and welcoming residential environment where our boarding students, who come from rural and regional New South Wales and overseas, thrive and fully engage with the College community and experience. The boarding house is conveniently located next to one of our junior campuses, Wyvern Preparatory. This allows boarders access to many facilities such as tennis courts, basketball courts, a pool table and table tennis. Inside, the Edmund Webb Boarding House is a modern, light and airy building, where boarders are assigned a double room with ensuite for Years 9 & 10 and a single room with ensuite in Years 11 & 12. Boarders also enjoy a large communal living room, dining room, health centre, outside courtyard and gym. A two-hour academic prep session during weekdays is mandatory for all boarders, who are sustained through their study and co-curriculum activities by four main meals a day, supper and snacks to ensure proper nutrition for growing teenagers.
