    Early history

    Wesleyan in character', be founded in Sydney and that the school 'be open to the sons of parents of all religious denominations'. On 16 July 1863, the Wesleyan Collegiate Institute opened with 16 boys and a small number of theological students. As no suitable buildings were available in Sydney at the time, Newington House, the centrepiece of John Blaxland's 1,200-acre (490 ha) estate at Silverwater
    , was leased.

    Newington College, as the school soon became known, prospered during its time on the Parramatta River and in 1869 was the first Australian school to play rugby football (against the University of Sydney),[14] and soon after was the first school in Australia to hold an athletics carnival. In 1869, the Newington College Cadet Corps was formally incorporated by the Governor of New South Wales, Somerset Lowry-Corry, 4th Earl Belmore.[15] It is one of the oldest continuous corps in the Australian Army Cadets.

    Expanding student numbers meant that more extensive premises closer to the city were required. A bequest by

    KCMG,[19] the philanthropist who was Speaker of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly. He had lent A£12,000 for the new buildings at Stanmore and later endowed the Wigram Allen Scholarship for boys proceeding to matriculation. The formal opening of the new school building was by Sir George on 18 January 1881. By resolution of the College Council, the name Newington College was perpetuated on the new site. Seventy school and theological students migrated from Silverwater to Stanmore.[20]

    Other local government heritage listings across the Newington campuses include the former Stanmore Methodist Church, also designed by Rowe in 1874 and now part of the Duckmanton Drama Centre

    parsonage that is now the Deputy Headmaster's residence;[22] and at Abbotsford, the late 20th Century Robert Glasson Boatshed that replaced the 1920s original.[23]
    A gymnasium was built in 1890, and a swimming pool was opened in 1894 however both have been replaced by a multi-court gymnasium and indoor swimming pool.

    20th century

    Newington ceased its connection to theological training in 1914, when the

    Strathfield South.[24] In 1921, a stone war memorial, designed by Old Newingtonian William Hardy Wilson, was opened in memory of those old boys who had paid the supreme sacrifice in World War I.[25] A separate preparatory school was opened in 1921, after a bequest by Sir Samuel McCaughey. It became known as Wyvern House in 1938, when a new building was opened by Old Newingtonian Sir Percival Halse Rogers.[26]

    The Stanmore Road boundary of the school is distinguished by a rusticated stone and wrought iron fence and two sets of entrance gates that were designed by Old Newingtonian

    VD in memory of his father. In 1938 the second set of gates were opened and named in honour of Frank Edwin Dixon who left £200 to the school in 1929.[29][30]

    In 1925, a rowing facility was built at Abbotsford,[31] and in 1957 another preparatory school was founded on the North Shore – first at Killara, and subsequently relocated to Lindfield. Since World War II, the College buildings and facilities expanded significantly under the ONU Honorary Architects Panel and the convenorship of Hedley Norman Carr.

    During the Headmastership of

    AM, and a new boatshed at Abbotsford were two of the most important property additions. In 1998, while Michael Smee was Headmaster, Wyvern House moved to a separate campus in Cambridge Street, Stanmore. The former Wyvern House building was then renovated and renamed the Le Couteur Wing in memory of former Headmaster Philip Le Couteur.[32] In 2007 Newington acquired the Concordia Club (the former German cultural club) on Stanmore Road for A$3.51 million.[33] As of 2014, Le Couteur was re-renovated and visual arts classes began to occupy the first floor with languages and learning enhancement classes held on level two.[34]

    21st century

    During 2006, the press reported on an industrial relations dispute at Newington in which then Headmaster David Scott planned to force staff to re-apply for their jobs in a restructure that would also reduce their holidays. Scott said that 'The action was taken after a comprehensive review of the school and had nothing to do with the federal government's

    Sydney Morning Herald reported that Scott believed that the Independent Education Union was being mischievous 'at best', or using an 'outright and deliberate lie' in suggesting the restructure was linked to workplace legislation.[36] Following a meeting between the Union and Newington College, Scott agreed to not declare senior staff positions vacant and the school continued to negotiate collective arrangements covering salary and working conditions for staff.[37]

    David Mulford was appointed Headmaster in 2009 and served in that role until retiring in 2018. In 2012, the Nesbit Wing named in honour of

    OAM.[43]

    On 18 July 2016, in commemoration of the sesquicentenary of Newington College's brother school

    Queen Consort Nanasipau'u visited the College to open the Tupou College Centre. The centre houses specialist teaching spaces and a health centre.[44]

    The Duckmanton Drama Centre was named in honour of Sir Talbot Duckmanton and opened on 31 July 2017. Sir Talbot served on the Newington College Council from 1964 until 1978 and was Chairman of the Council Executive Committee for five years.[45]

    In 2026, Newington will become

    co-educational with the admittance of girls into Year 5 with the intention of being fully co-ed by 2033.[46]

    College Council

    The Newington College Council Act allows for the appointment of up to 24 members of the council: nine

    clerical appointments; nine lay
    appointments; and six members nominated by the Old Newingtonians Union (ONU).

    College staff

    Presidents and headmasters

    From its founding in 1863 until 1900, Newington had a system of dual control with a

    president (who was an ordained minister) and a headmaster. As an ordained minister, Charles Prescott
    assumed both roles on his appointment in 1900 and, on his retirement in 1931, the role of President was abolished.

    Notable masters

    The long service of masters at Newington College is recognised in a number of ways. In 1955 a marble commemorative plaque was set in the north-western wall of the Prescott Hall to commemorate the work of three very long serving staff members and their Head, with the inscription:

    THIS STONE WAS SET IN PLACE IN RECOGNITION OF DEVOTED SERVICE
    TO NEWINGTON COLLEGE BY A HEADMASTER AND HIS THREE SENIOR MASTERS

    THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE BOYS IN THEIR CARE WAS A CHALLENGE AND AN INSPIRATION TO YOUNG LIVES

    Sir Thomas Griffith Taylor
    Antonio Dattilo Rubbo

    These masters are further recognised by the naming of the Buchanan

    Staff Common Room and Cortis Jones Lecture Theatre. Another long-serving master of the first half of the 20th century was Colonel Albert Douglas Arthur (1889–1949). In 1951 the college library was housed in a new room and renamed the A.D. Arthur Memorial Library in his honour. The library moved into the Nesbitt Wing upon its completion and when it moved again into Prescott Hall an adjoining study room was named the A.D. Arthur Annex. Arthur's name has not been connected with the college library since the 1970s but his portrait in oils still hangs in the Ben Jarvie Common Room. In 2014, past masters Phil Davis OAM and Robert Buntine were honoured with rooms in the AJ Rae Resource and Library Centre being named after them. Davis is the college's third-longest serving master (1951–2000), after Cortis Jones and Jarvie, and Buntine was the Deputy Headmaster during the headship of Tony Rae.[50]

    Students

    Leaders

    Since 1898, the Senior Prefect has been the

    House System. The Houses, eight in total,[52] are led by a House Captain and a House Vice-Captain, or two. Until 1988, a select number of students were appointed as Prefect. Since that time, it has been the practice in Term 4 to offer all Year 11 boys the position of House Prefect and at the end of Year 12 to confirm as School Prefect all those judged to have discharged their duties in an exemplary manner. In 1950 and 1951, under the Headship of Mervyn Austin, Probationer Prefects were appointed and from 1953 until 1967 they were known as Sub-Prefects. That title was again used from 1983 until the current system of leaders was started in 1988. In one year only, 1971 during the Acting Headship of Owen Dudley, Monitors were appointed.[53]

The Thomas family have three generations of Duces of Newington: Noel Thomas (1930);[57]
    Rod Thomas (1960); and Peter Thomas (1988).

    Old Boys' Prize

    The Old Boys' Prize is the most senior of the citizenship prizes awarded at Newington and is presented for scholarship, sportsmanship and moral qualities. Loyalty and leadership are equally weighed in this award.

    Denis Cowper (1926) shared with Den Joyce; Bym Porter (1927) shared with Arthur Parton; George Wright (1935); Marshall Hatch (1950); In 1967 to Kevin Amos and Peter Thornton; Graham Colditz (1972); and Stephen Rae (1979). For four years in a row the prize was awarded to students who were to serve and die in World War I: David Murray (1910);[58] Morven Nolan (1911);[59] Clifford Holliday (1912);[60] and Roxy Muir (1913).[61]
    The Old Boys Prize was not awarded the following year (1914).

    Campuses

    Newington College is situated over three

    suburban campuses, located in Stanmore and Lindfield:[1]

    Secondary school

    The secondary campus is located in Stanmore, in Sydney's inner-west. The student body consists of approximately 50 boarders and 1,700-day students from Years 7 to 12. Newington boarders come from country and city, interstate and overseas. Day students are drawn from all over the Sydney greater metropolitan area.

    Wyvern House preparatory schoolter

    Main article: Wyvern House

    Newington has educated primary school (Kindergarten to Year 6) aged boys since 1863. In 1938 Wyvern House opened in a separate school building on the Stanmore campus and accepted its first students in 1939. Wyvern moved to new premises in Cambridge Street, Stanmore, a few minutes' walk from the secondary school, in 1998. It has approximately 480 students – all day students. There are two classes in each of Years K to 2, three classes in Years 3 to 4 and four classes in Years 5 to 6. The Head of Wyvern House is Ian Holden.[62]

    Lindfield preparatory school

    The Newington College Preparatory School was established initially at

    Swain Gardens. Each classroom includes effective information communication technology tools. Classrooms have dedicated computer and wet areas, and bag storage areas. There are special facilities for music, art and French. A tuckshop operates three days a week. The campus has just undergone a major redevelopment of classrooms and the addition of a new hall, library and visual arts room.[64] Students in Years 3–6 compete in the Independent Primary School Heads of Australia (IPSHA) Competition held on Saturday mornings. Every student competes in a summer (basketball or cricket) or winter sport (rugby or soccer). Newington's preparatory schools combine for annual carnivals in swimming, athletics and cross country.[65]

    Houses

    The house system at Newington was founded in the 1930s and in 2021 eight new houses were added. Originally houses were named after presidents and headmasters but the names now honour Old Newingtonians and important women in the history of the school.

    Australian Rules Football: he had been Vice-President of the Geelong Football Club
    in 1861, which had been founded two years earlier. After leaving Newington he founded a college in Goulburn and married Annie Gilligan, after whom one of Newington's newer houses is named
    Le Couteur   Philip Le Couteur Newington's Headmaster from 1931 to 1848. He led the College through the challenges of the Depression, established Wyvern House and oversaw remarkable growth in student numbers [71]
    Gilligan   Annie Gilligan Newington's first female member of staff, appointed on its foundation in 1863. In the role of Housekeeper during the Newington's crucial first six years at Newington House she had charge of accommodation and catering and of the domestic staff, all-important functions in an all-boarding school.

An experienced teacher and former principal in Perth and Sydney, she was appointed as Head of English at Newington in 1942, as part of an effort to replace male teachers who had enlisted. Quickly proving that she herself a strong disciplinarian, she won the esteem and respect of the senior boys — ‘who naturally received the coming of a lady teacher with askance', as the College Council put it. She achieved very fine exam results, as well as influencing the boys' character, good speech, courtesy and general bearing. When she retired from Newington in 1949, the Council passed a special resolution in recognition of her service and achievements, eighty of her current and former students joined the Council for her farewell dinner, and the Old Boys presented her with a silver tea pot and tray.
    Cooper   Sister Margaret Cooper Served as the Wyvern House matron from 1958 and assumed the same role for the senior school as well when the school sick bay moved to Wyvern House (now the Le Couteur centre), remaining in this role until her death in 1981. She implemented modern health care standards in the Sick Bay and collaborated with Dr Roger Davidson OAM (ON 1940) over many years in the Saturday Sports Clinic. Well-liked and highly regarded for ‘her long years of skilled, cheerful and reliable service', as the Headmaster Tony Rae put it, she was also recognised for providing much-valued pastoral and emotional support to students before there were strong school programs for this purpose.

She also played a major role in performing arts, including as stage manager for numerous productions. Known as ‘Conan the Librarian’ to many of the students, she was a popular and respected professional and department head. She was forced to retire mid-career due to ill-health in 1996. The present headmaster [2022] is her son-in-law. [72]

    High Commissioner to India
    . Mackay attended Newington from 1897 to early 1901. ‘Distinguished from the first for his hard and solid work, both in school and out’, as The Newingtonian reported, he passed the Senior Examination ‘very creditably’, served as a Prefect and as a Sergeant in the Cadets and was a prominent debater. He was a member of each of the three senior sporting teams — cricket, rugby and rifle shooting — for three years, winning Triple Colours and two rugby honour caps.    		 [74]

    Sir Ian Clunies Ross
    		 An Old Newingtonian, Ross is regarded as one of the most influential figures in Australian science and has been described as the architect of its post-war boom through his chairmanship of the
    Leaving Certificate. In sport he captained the 3rd XI and played in the 2nd XV. He played the part of Mr Box in the Newington Dramatic Society’s 1916 production of ‘Cox and Box

    William Henry Williams was Newington’s Head Master from 1884 to 1892. The most academically accomplished Head at that time, he broadened the curriculum in the humanities and sciences and introduced a stream of ‘modern’ subjects.[77]

    Lucas

    Arthur Henry Shakespeare Lucas was Newington’s Head Master from 1893 to 1898. A noted biologist and gifted teacher and administrator, he further improved the school’s academic reputation. He subsequently taught and served as Headmaster at Sydney Grammar School.[78]

    Howe

    Dr Michael C Howe was Newington’s Head Master from 1869 to 1877. A distinguished classics scholar and popular teacher, he promoted academic rigour and oversaw Newington’s remarkable early successes in the public examinations and university admissions.

    When Newington founded a Prep School at Killara two houses were established and those continue today at the Prep School at Lindfield. They were named in honour of English schools with a

    Wesleyan
    tradition:

    Kingswood

    The Kingswood School was founded in Bath, England, in 1748 by John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, and is the oldest Methodist school in the world. Besides it being a great Methodist educational institution, and an inspiration for Newington’s founders, four of the significant figures in Newington’s history — Moulton, Fletcher, Lucas and Prescott were educated at Kingswoo School.

    Rydal

    Rydal Mount later

    Rydal School and now Rydal Penrhos was founded at Colwyn Bay, North Wales, in 1885, and is the only Methodist school in Wales. Founded as a boys' boarding school, it started admitting girls in the 1960s and merged with a girls' school, Penrhos College, in 1999.[79]

    War memorials

    The grounds and buildings of Newington College contain numerous war memorials:

    Classrooms and science building

    Work began in October 1952 on the War Memorial Classroom Block and the Old Boy benefactor W. R. Glasson unveiled the foundation stone.

    Gallipoli Lone Pine Memorial

    Commemorating

    Prisoners of War during World War I, this tree comes from a seedling propagated from a pine cone brought home from Gallipoli by an Australian soldier. The tree stands in a triangular area of grass formed by the merging of the Cowlishaw Drive and the War Memorial Drive. A bronze commemorative plaque on a stone plinth has the following inscription:[86]

    The Gallipoli Lone Pine – During the 1914–1918 Great War, Australian and New Zealand forces landed at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915 to attack Turkish forces. Eight months later they withdrew. One significant battle occurred on the ridge where a lone pine stood. ANZAC forces finally occupied the Turkish position, but with the tragic loss of 2,227 men. Turkish losses were around 5,000. During the withdrawal from ANZAC Cove, an Australian soldier picked up a pine cone and brought it home, where the seeds were propagated. Since 1933, when the pines became of good size and yielded more seedlings, Legacy arranged for pine trees to be distributed to schools and interested groups to help keep the memory of the Gallipoli Lone Pine alive.

    archives collection. In 1995 they were restored and repositioned in the chapel's glass ambulatory overlooking the 1914–1918 Memorial to the Dead.[87] Included amongst these plaques is one in memory of William Tasker (15 October 1891 – 9 August 1918) who was a World War I soldier who had been a national representative rugby union player making six Test appearances for the Wallabies.[88]

    War Memorial Driveway

    In 1936 the War Memorial Drive was planted with 75 poplars, each with a cross at the foot and a plaque honouring individual Old Newingtonians who died during World War II. The trees were replaced by a new avenue of trees in 1966 and the plaques were replaced by a tablet on a plinth with the inscription:

    Lest We Forget – This plaque was dedicated on 24 September 1966, to mark the planting of trees alongside the War Memorial Drive by the Old Newingtonians' Union to restore those originally planted by the Union on 29 February 1936. By this act Old Newingtonians remember those Old Boys who gave their lives in the service of God, King and Country, and whose names are recorded on the War Memorial of the School.

    Fifty of the original plaques remain in the archives collection. In 1979 the War Memorial Drive was realigned and replanted and the 1966 plinth was moved to the Millner Gates end of the drive.[89]

    Boer War Honour Roll

    A bronze tablet recording the names of 44 Old Newingtonians who served in the

    plinth and cornice. The inscription reads:

    Floreat Newingtonia – Erected by Old Boys of Newington College in honour of Newingtonians who fought for the Empire in South Africa 1899–1902.

    The Memorial was designed by Old Newingtonian architects Henry Budden and William Hardy Wilson and was dedicated on 15 December 1903.[90]

    World War I Honour Roll

In addition to this curriculum, the students study one major language other than English. From Years 9 to 12, students adhere to the Board of Studies curriculum standards that all NSW schools follow.

    School song

    Dear Newingtonia

    See there on the hill-top dear Newington stands
    And looks to the sea o’er low-lying lands,
    While her fame has gone forth to this continent’s bound,
    And none fairer than she in this wide earth is found.
    Dear Newingtonia! Dear Newingtonia!
    My love for thee shall never, never die.
    Dear Newingtonia! Dear Newingtonia!
    My love for thee shall never, never die.
    Names? Yes, there are many deep carved on her walls
    Of those who have triumphed in 'Varsity halls;
    And athletes who’ve toiled through a score of hard frays,
    Swell loudly this chorus we sing in her praise.
    Chorus
    The years may go by and we youngsters get old,
    Yet ne’er will the love for our College grow cold.
    Nay, rather as onward towards life’s end we go,
    This home of our boyhood yet dearer shall grow.

    Alumni

    Old Newingtonians Union Logo

    Alumni of Newington College are known as Old Newingtonians[127] and may elect to join the college's alumni association, the Old Newingtonians' Union.[128] The Union was founded in 1895, with James Egan Moulton, the Newington College President, as its inaugural President and Sir Thomas Bavin as secretary.[129] As stated in its constitution, the aims of the ONU are to:[130]

    "... strengthen the bonds between Old Newingtonians and between Old Newingtonians and the College; foster and develop active participation in, and support of, the affairs of the College and of the Union; support and promote the Newington Foundation and the Old Newingtonians' Union Centennial Trust; organise and carry out social functions in pursuance of the objects of the Union; promote the interests and welfare of the College in all its aspects; commemorate those Old Newingtonians who have given their lives in the service of their country; and provide club facilities for members of the Union either solely or in conjunction with other clubs, unions or associations of ex-students of other schools".

    The school's bi-annual publication Newington News is sent to all old boys whose current addresses are known to the Union. The Union previously published directories of Old Newingtonians at five yearly intervals[131] however that publication has been superseded by an on-line directory.

    Affiliated organisations of the Union are: Wyvern Cricket Club, playing in the Sydney Suburban Competition; Lodge Wyvern, a

    Masonic Lodge
    ; and The 70 Club, a luncheon club for senior Old boys. The Old Newingtonians' Union is a member of the GPS Old Boys Unions' Council.

    Presidents of the Union are now normally elected for three one-year terms and are supported by a council. The immediate past president is Alex Baykitch

    OAM
    (1972 & 1973).
