Nossal High School

Nossal High School is also known as Nossal or NHS is a government-funded co-educational, academically selective secondary day school that is situated on Berwick, a Melbourne suburb Berwick, Victoria, Australia. The school’s name is derived from Sir Gustav Nossal, a prominent Australian immunologist who was named an award-winning immunologist in the year 2000. Australian of the Year.

In 2010, the school is a place for students from Years 9-12. Nossal High School was ranked third among all state secondary schools across Victoria according to VCE outcomes in the year 2018.

The school opened in the year 2010, one year prior to Suzanne Cory High School and John Monash Science School, in accordance with the state government of Brumby’s educational policies. Students initially their studies on Monash University’s Berwick Campus of Monash University, pending completion of the school’s construction work, Nossal is now located within the same campusas located on the site of previously Casey Airfields. Students who are interested in studying there must take an entrance exam lasting 3 hours that tests their knowledge and reasoning skills in English and maths, with the exam in 2017 attracting around 3300 candidates; and allowing about 208 students in the Years 9 and 10 cohort. In the first Year 12 cohort graduated from the school in the year 2013.

The curriculum of the school follows American educationist Howard Gardener’s notion that he called The Five Minds of the Future that includes, for instance the absence of school bells since students are required to know when and where they should be. Students are able to participate in a range of extra-curricular activities, like debate, inter-school sports music, societies/clubs and numerous international and national contests and events based on creativity like events like the Model United Nations Assembly and the Australian Computational and Linguistics Olympiad.

Nossal High School is part of the Select-Entry Network of Victorian selective schools. They are located in the same area as Suzanne Cory High School, Mac.Robertson Girls High School and Melbourne High School.

Before the school’s launch in the year 2010, the only schools that were selective that existed in Victoria comprised the Mac.Robertson Girls High School as well as Melbourne High School, both that offer education for only one gender in addition to an arts-oriented Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School. The Victorian Government’s decision to open an entirely new school for selective students is a result of a range of reasons. The increasingly-competitive entrance exam for the already-existing selective schools was excluding students which the Education Department perceived as intelligent and highly-able, but nevertheless unable to secure one of the limited places at the two schools. In addition the fact that Mac.Rob and Melbourne High both Mac.Rob as well as Melbourne High were situated within or near the Melbourne city centre, which made them an important logistical and transport burden requirement for students who resided in suburbs further away as the notion that elite education should be tied to gender segregation was has begun to appear ever more outdated in our 21st century society. This is why the decision to establish an all-selective school situated in the suburb of Berwick to the south of Berwick was made known before public Victorian population in the month of April by the then Premier John Brumby. In the same month the announcements were made to create specific schools within Werribee (to be renamed Suzanne Cory High School) as well as a science specialist on the Monash University Clayton campus (to transform into John Monash Science School); Berwick was prioritised, but in part, because it was announced that the City of Casey that it is the majority of was named as the fastest-growing city in Melbourne.

The Senior Department’s bureaucrats are charged with establishing local connections as well as establishing plans for the opening of the tentatively named Berwick Selective Entry High School. Construction began on the Berwick campus of Monash University in 2009, location that was the site of former Casey Airfields and the first headmaster, Roger Page, was appointed in the month of May of that same year. While the opening of Suzanne Cory was delayed until the year 2011, Nossal High School was finally established in 2010 and it was the first joint Select-Entry Network entrance exam was held just six months before. Due to the lack of facilities for the school, Nossal students initially undertook classes on the adjacent Monash University campus; the Jean Russell Centre, a function/meeting space for professional development at the school, was officially inaugurated in the Term 3 of the year 2010. The school’s very first ever cohort of Year 9’s was admitted in 2010, with each year level was eventually added on a regular basis and the school was at fully-capacity in 2013 which saw the first Year 12 cohort graduated from the school. This year, the an inaugural Assistant Principal Toni Meath, left the school to become the school’s principal.
