Newman College

Canberra Private Schools introduces Newman College in Parkville, for all your education and learning needs.

Newman College is a Roman Catholic co-educational residential College affiliated with the University of Melbourne. The Society of Jesus is responsible for the administration of the College.

The College's fundamental purpose is to foster the intellectual, ethical and spiritual life of its members, to enable them to become effective leaders in the community, mature in faith and committed to justice. The College seeks to assist its members in achieving the highest standards in their personal lives, in their studies and in the professions they will enter, standards based on Christian values and showing a genuine compassion and respect for others.

Newman College espouses the humane, religious and cultural values of the Roman Catholic Church, but students of other traditions are welcomed and encouraged.

All students of the College enjoy the opportunity to maintain an active spiritual life. The College Chaplain, the four resident Jesuit priests and members of staff ensure that the spiritual, religious and pastoral needs of the students are met.
