Our department comprises 22 teaching staff who work in a cohesive and collegial environment, supporting both student achievement and professional development.

Our students embrace the rigour of mathematics. Since 2024, all Year 9 students work towards the IGCSE Mathematics course.

Students are encouraged to participate in various mathematics competitions and projects under the auspices of the Australasian Problem-Solving Mathematical Olympiads (APSMO) and the Australian Mathematics Trust (AMT). Our mathematics results are consistently excellent, reflecting our commitment to mathematical excellence across all ability levels.

**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.

Teaching staff are highly skilled, dedicated to bringing out the best in each student - and each other. They instil a breadth of knowledge in their students and an understanding of how to think and question both inside the classroom and out, as they help prepare them for life in a rapidly changing world. Newington has a community of educators who take their vocation seriously, are dedicated, supportive of each other and respected by their peers and students. We ensure the resources are available to make the most of every opportunity.

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.

What else sets us apart? We strive to create a culture underpinned by our diverse and inclusive community - students, parents, carers, staff, alumni and our neighbours. The College is supported by a strong sense of integrity, respect, honesty, 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.

If our approach appeals to you - and if you think you could help us achieve our goals - we’d like to hear from you.
