About Newington College 

Newington College is a school bustling with opportunity and rigour.

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.
