Halls and Chapel

Chapel

Among the distinctive features of the Chapel are the beautiful stain-glass window panels preserved from our original Chapel and a Danish pipe organ which provides spectacular music for all occasions. A brass frieze lines the walls, engraved with the names of a number of ‘great’ men and women of history—people of different nationalities, faith traditions, backgrounds and fields that have used their talents to serve God and mankind. The spacious interior of the Chapel, with its uplifting vertical lines and distinctive lighting creates a contemplative space for worshipers.

Funerals in the Newington Chapel

The College is available to host a funeral service for any member of the extended Newington community. Given our Chapel is located in the centre of the school it cannot be assumed in every instance that a funeral can be held at the College at the time requested.

• Permission must be sought from the Headmaster. He will consult with the Chaplaincy team and the Head of Campus.
• If a school day is requested, detailed discussions with the Chaplaincy team will be required in regard to timings, operations (e.g. parking limited given our inner west location) and length of service.
• Our Chaplains reserve the right to guide the nature of the Service. A request for another Minister to lead the Service requires the permission of the Chaplains as a matter of courtesy.
• There is no charge for funerals although any donation to the upkeep of the Chapel, such as the purchase of a chapel pew, would be appreciated. This can be discussed directly with the Chaplains.
• Receptions at the College after the Service require consultation and approval of the Head of Campus, via the Chaplains. It is noted we are a School therefore certain protocols will be required. All catering costs will need to be covered by the family.
