Our Vision

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.

As an Authorised IB World School, we uphold the IB  mission. More information, can be found at The IB Mission  www.ibo.org

Our Values

Our School Values are aligned with the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile. This profile, defined by the International Baccalaureate, is a set of characteristics for students to show they are developing life-long learning and inquiry skills and that they are aware of and sensitive to the experiences of others. A student's development in these areas is considered to be a key indicator of their overall achievement as a learner and as an international person.
