**About the 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, kindness and open-mindedness, and that also applies to everyone who works here - from the teachers and grounds staff to the finance and admissions teams.

Founded in 1863 by the Uniting Church, the College has more than two thousand students across four vibrant campuses from our Early Learning Centre through to Year 12. In 2026, Newington will enter an exciting new phase as the College transitions to co-education starting with Kindergarten and Grade Five, becoming fully co-educational by 2033. Our students will enter a world that will require them to walk and work alongside all genders collaboratively, respectfully and empathetically as colleagues, employers, employees, partners, parents and friends. We want to ensure the College remains a vibrant, contemporary institution, in step with the society it is part of.

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