Scholarship at Newington College  

The Primary Teacher Education Scholarship provided by Newington College offers a unique opportunity to work across our preparatory areas, supporting student learning within our school. The scholarship is valued at $12,000 for one year only and will be awarded to a student with a strong academic record who will contribute to the curricular and co-curricular life of Newington throughout the school year. 

Students with an interest in or expertise in Mathematics, Science, or English and Literacy development will be highly regarded. However, students from all areas of interest in teaching stages 1–3 are encouraged to apply. 

During the year, the recipient will have the opportunity to be fully involved in the life of the College, including: 

  • being embedded in the Junior School and mentored by experienced teachers
  • participating in wellbeing and pastoral programs
  • involvement in the co-curricular life of the school
  • access to the professional learning and other resources provided by the College.

The recipient will be involved in co-curricular activities and supporting learning through classroom co-teaching. It will equate to 10 hours per week which can be flexibly negotiated around university commitments. The recipient will be expected to complete their internship or major professional experience at the College. 

Selection will be made by consideration of a written application and a subsequent interview for shortlisted candidates. Continuation of the scholarship is dependent on maintaining a high academic standard, and the recipient must achieve satisfactory progress in practical experience and professional studies throughout their final year.
