About Newington College
Newington College is a school bustling with opportunity and rigour. We aim to teach students to think critically, stretch their learning and approach life with curiosity and open-mindedness. That also applies to everyone who works here - from teachers and grounds staff to the finance and admissions teams.
Founded in 1863 by the Uniting Church, Newington College is an ELC to Year 12 school in Sydney’s humming inner west and the north shore. From 2026, the College will begin our exciting transition to co-education, welcoming girls into Kindergarten and Year 5. The College has more than two thousand students across five vibrant campuses and is a member of the GPS Association of NSW. Our mission is to empower students to develop great hearts, inspired minds and strong wings, ready to make a positive contribution to society and the future.
If our approach appeals to you – and if you think you could help us achieve our goals – we’d like to hear from you.
