Newington Primary School

Acknowledgement of Country

We would like to acknowledge the Wadawurrung People, who are the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we come to learn.
We thank them and their ancestors for looking after this land for thousands of years, and for their kindness and courage in sharing it with us in the present.

Our school’s vision is ‘Inspire, Inquire, Grow’

At Newington Primary School, we develop active, global citizens who have the confidence, empathy and resilience to make a positive difference in our world.  We empower our students to be creative and critical thinkers, who collaborate with others. We engage in challenging, concept-driven, inquiry learning that promotes learner agency.

Newington Primary School offers a vibrant and engaging education to our students. Our school community has a shared goal of providing for all aspects of each child’s academic, social, physical and emotional development. We want our school to be a safe place, where our students feel that they are valued, a place where they can thrive.

At Newington Primary School, our students are encouraged to appreciate the community around them and to see themselves as global citizens. In addition to acquiring knowledge, they are encouraged to respect and show compassion for others. Our students are fostered to communicate effectively and work collaboratively with others. As an authorised International Baccalaureate World School, our curriculum is built upon 21st century thinking where all facets of education are connected and interwoven.

Our students are immersed in a learning culture strengthened by encouragement, positive relationships, and a challenging curriculum that inspires creative and critical thinking. Inquiry-based learning is blended with other trusted teaching approaches to ensure that children receive instruction in all learning areas that is tailored to meet their needs.

We look forward to welcoming you into our vibrant school community, with a commitment to excellence in teaching and learning. We invite you to explore our website and learn more about how our students benefit from the unique education that Newington Primary School provides.
