How to get to Newington

Newington College is located at 200 Stanmore Road, Stanmore NSW 2048. The school is well serviced by public transport and is easily accessible by car, right in the heart of Sydney’s Inner West.

We understand that boys from all over Sydney come to Newington, so the College also offers chartered bus services to and from the College each day, and there are Government transport options on buses and trains. These routes also service our Stanmore preparatory campus, Wyvern House. There is another private bus that runs to and from our Lindfield preparatory campus to Seaforth and also to Hunters Hill.
