Student Endorsements
What can make a school more than a school? We believe Nossal is unique, with an environment which encourages learning by providing the freedom we will have when we enter university. We are challenged instead of coddled, lifted to new heights instead of relearning the same things. Nossal provides supportive teachers and mentors who guide students to achieve their full potential and achieve success. Our adult learning environment serves as the bridge connecting us to the innumerable possibilities of the future.

(Year 9 – 2017)
Stepping into Nossal High School, we feel as if we have entered a different atmosphere. One of learning and communication. After only a few weeks, we are already amazed at how accepting this close-knit family is. Nossal is a place for students who want to embrace the challenge. Here, we are given the opportunity to develop as strong leaders and to succeed. And by the end of our Nossal journey, we will break out of our cocoons and fly into the world, just like the butterflies proudly worn on our chests.
