Newcastle Grammar School

Welcome to Newcastle Grammar School, the leading co-educational K-12 Independent school in the Hunter Region of Australia. Located in the heart of Newcastle, at 60 Newcomen Street, our institution has a long-standing history of success, spanning over 104 years.

With over 1000 students and 150 staff members, Newcastle Grammar School is dedicated to providing an outstanding holistic education that prepares our students for a life of purpose and success in a rapidly changing global landscape. We highly value our relationship with the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle and Christ Church Cathedral, which adds to the enriching environment we offer.

At Newcastle Grammar School, we take pride in our exceptional teaching staff who are selected for their professionalism, expertise, and ability to build strong relationships with their students. Our teachers are committed to nurturing the potential of each individual, ensuring they receive the best education possible.

As a Visible Wellbeing school, we take a strengths-based approach and explicitly teach the tools of positive education. This allows us to focus on the overall well-being of our students, enabling them to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

We offer an innovative Co-curriculum program called myNGS Passport, which provides students with diverse experiences across six pillars: Movement for Life, Creative and Performing Arts, Environment and Community Engagement, Outdoor Adventure, Skills for the Future, and Service and Leadership. This program encourages students to explore their passions and develop a well-rounded skill set.

Newcastle Grammar School is proud to be a Round Square School, actively involved in promoting international understanding, democracy, environmental stewardship, and adventure. Additionally, our institution has established strong partnerships with various industries, further enhancing our students' educational experiences.

Our commitment to excellence is evident through our three-year strategic plans, which guide the governance of our school and ensure we continue to provide the highest quality education.

Exciting events and achievements are always taking place at Newcastle Grammar School. We are thrilled to announce our upcoming production of the hit Broadway show, Anastasia the Musical, at the Civic Theatre Newcastle from 17 to 19 August. Furthermore, we are honored to be shortlisted for an Excellence Award in the category of Prime Super Regional School of the Year in the 2023 Australian Education Awards.

As a school that prioritizes child safety, Newcastle Grammar School is dedicated to providing a secure environment for all students and implementing the necessary child safe standards.

Lastly, we would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the traditional Aboriginal custodians of the land on which Newcastle Grammar School is built, the Awabakal and Worimi people, as well as their Elders, both past and present.
