Newhaven College

Description

Established in 1980, the College is home to more than 920 students across four learning communities: Junior School (Prep–Year 4), Middle School (Years 5–8), Year 9 Environmental Centre and Senior School (Years 10–12). This structure ensures every student is supported at each stage of their educational journey.

At Newhaven College, learning is active, engaging and personalised. Students are encouraged to explore, create and think critically through hands-on experiences, while passionate teachers build strong relationships that inspire confidence, curiosity and a genuine love of learning. Every student is supported academically, socially and emotionally, developing the skills, resilience and character to thrive both at school and beyond.

As an independent school, Newhaven College has the flexibility to design innovative programs that respond to the interests, strengths and aspirations of its students, creating opportunities that extend well beyond the classroom.

Prospective families are encouraged to attend the annual Open Day in March each year, or one of the three College Tours. Watch the new College Video.
