Newington College

Uniforms and Equipment

Newington's distinctive colours of Black and White date from around 1868.

The Black and White

Newington students have been wearing the Black and White since 1869 where, before official school uniforms, it first appeared on the rugby field.

Today the distinctive black blazer with sharp white trim, black and white striped tie and the fierce Wyvern atop the motto scroll ‘In Fide Scientiam’ – ‘To Faith Add Knowledge’ all feature in the Newington College uniform.

Students proudly pull on the Black and White for each of the AAGPS official sports whenever they represent the College on the field of play. Our 1sts and 2nds teams wear their own strip in recognition of their effort and commitment in representing Newington at the highest levels.

The pinion of the Raven, The white of ocean foam, The Dragon Grim defiant, The Standard of our home!

While busy in academic classes it’s blazers off and sleeves up but for events and ceremonies the students show their respect for the College and the occasion by wearing the Full Blazer Uniform.
