NOSSAL HIGH SCHOOL
Principal Roger Page is extremely proud of the culture created and fostered at Nossal High School, said to be the first purpose-built co-educational academically selective school and described as “an adult, student-focused learning environment with fewer rules, greater freedoms, more responsibility, authentic student voice and participation”. Among its practices, Nossal has vertical pastoral groups, reducing artificial age-based barriers; team teaching and open-plan classrooms and offices, meaning everyone’s work is on display and visible to all; no rooms are locked and the library has no doors, meaning those resources are available to everyone at all times; digital delivery days, which allow students to work online from home in virtual classes run by their usual teachers; and, when it comes to staff recruitment, every Nossal teacher has been selected by an interview panel that includes two students.
