As learners, they are empowered to imagine, create and achieve.

The aim is to achieve a balance between academic achievement, personal development and social responsibility

Lindfield is a rich school environment in which learning is dynamic, individual and focused. We ask every student to challenge himself and to set achievable goals. When students know themselves as learners, they are empowered to imagine, create and achieve.

The pursuit of excellence in all endeavours is sustained through programs which recognize the needs, rights and responsibilities of each student. Lindfield/Wyvern House boys learn within the NSW Board of Studies Syllabuses in all the Key Learning areas. Significant specialist learning experiences are provided in Religious Education, Art, Music, Technology, Languages Other Than English, and Health and Physical Education.

The curriculum retains strong links with the best elements of traditional programs whilst embracing the best of modern teaching strategies, and the College's strive for excellence in both its academic and co-curricular programs is well established. The aim is to achieve a balance between academic achievement, personal development and social responsibility.

Music

Music at Newington is a whole-of-school program, run from the Music Centre in the Secondary School. Information regarding Instrumental Tuition, Ensembles and specialised music teaching offerings at the K-6 prep schools may be found in the Secondary School > Creative Arts section.
