Newington College has a proud academic record.

In 2007 nine Newington boys received Premier's Awards* for All-Round Excellence in the NSW Higher School Certificate. Further details here.

To ensure the interests of all students are catered for, be they academic, creative, sporting, technical, commercial or otherwise, the College dedicates considerable resources to offering a wide range of courses. In tandem with our extensive co-curricular and pastoral care programs, this broad curriculum provides a rounded liberal education designed to equip students with the skills, knowledge and understanding they will need to face the challenges of the years ahead.

Please refer to the Academic Guide, on the Subjects Info page, for detailed information about courses offered at our secondary school.

The Newington Homework Policy and study guidelines are printed in the Student Diary.

Curriculum details for K-6 can be found under 'Lindfield Prep' and 'Wyvern House'.

*This prize is awarded to students who achieve over 90 in each of 10 units or more. In 2002 and 2003, Newington boys received 10 and 12 awards, more than any other non-selective boys' school in NSW. In 2004, 11 Newington boys received awards.
