New England Girls' School

Orignally founded in 1895 as an Anglican girls school and located in Armidale, Northern NSW, NEGS provides an educational experience for both boys and girls in Junior School and a tailored learning environment for young women in Senior School, with boarding houses to facilitate the educational needs of students located outside of Armidale.At NEGS ,they believe success is best measured by the way in which they prepare the students to embrace the challenges that await them beyond their school years.They lay the foundation for each of our students to be self-confident, inquisitive, tolerant and positive young women. And they encourage their girls to have independent minds, to pursue their goals and dreams with confidence, creativity and compassion so they can make a difference in the world around them.

The NEGS Junior School has a family atmosphere where parental involvement is encouraged. The school caters for boys and girls from Transition (4-5 year olds) to Year 6.
