Vision

In the 21st Century, Newington College will strive to provide an internationally respected education for the purpose of developing young men who will contribute positively to society.

To achieve this Newington College will aim to:

• Engage teaching and administrative staff who share a commitment, based on Newington's values, to provide an excellent liberal education to the students of the College
• Provide excellent facilities at its campuses
  
• Develop its financial independence
  
• Present its vision and strategies to the community

Mission

Newington College was established in 1863 by the Wesleyan Methodist Church.

Today, Newington College is a school of The Uniting Church in Australia providing a liberal education to boys from all backgrounds, denominations and faiths. It is a school that seeks to allow each boy to find fulfilment in his school achievements through the pursuit of excellence in academic achievement, co-curricular activities and personal development.

The school environment draws upon the valued heritage and diversity of the Australian culture and society.

Values

Newington College, through its educational activities and the human relationships within its community, will seek to give expression to the values that underpin the philosophy of the school based on Christianity. The key elements of these values are self-respect, care for
others and service to the community.

The College aims for these values to be reflected in the lives of its students. We expect that the commitment to these values will be evidenced in the character of the students of the College through the fulfilment of their potential, their sensitivity and honesty in relationships and their commitment to social justice in the community.
