There’s something special about a school that understands what country families value – community, opportunity, and the quiet confidence that comes from doing the work and doing it well.
At NEGS Armidale, those values are lived every day. Whether it’s the thud of hooves in the equestrian arena, the focus before a debate, or the teamwork that plays out across the sports fields, NEGS girls are building something lasting – strength, independence, and a sense of purpose that goes far beyond the school gates.
For 2026, NEGS is offering ten final scholarships across Sport, Equestrian, and Music – a generous opportunity for girls ready to step up, stretch themselves, and join a community that nurtures excellence with heart.
Explore the stories below to see how NEGS helps every girl find her place – and her power.
Oh and before you go – something super exciting is coming! Share the word and stay tuned.
