As the very proud Academic Director of this academically selective high school with a well-respected history of providing exceptional educational outcomes and opportunities for students since 2002, I warmly welcome you to the website of NWIS.

NWIS aims to create a supportive and inclusive environment where students are encouraged to explore their potential and achieve their personal best in all aspects of school life.

Offering the broadest range of practical and academic subjects in the area, we endeavor to provide each student with a curriculum which both challenges and inspires them to reach their individual potential. We value collaborative learning, positive relationships and building capacity amongst our students to effectively allow them to engage in the world of the future, where problem solving, evaluating, working in teams, communicating, creating and innovating are not only valued concepts, but expected skills, attributes and capabilities.

We support the individual wellbeing of our students and provide a school environment that allows every student to thrive as they work towards achieving their personal best performance. We set high expectations for our students and work hard to safeguard positive emotions across our school community. We are partners in learning with our students and seek to deepen their knowledge, provide enriching and innovative learning experiences, while also gently urging our students out of their comfort zone to attempt new challenges.

Our students graduate from NWIS with the skills, mind sets and qualities that will best equip them for success in the world of the future. Our students are intelligent, resilient, creative, imaginative, disciplined, dedicated to life-long learning, respectful and ethical. They are the future leaders and role models of society.

I would like to acknowledge and thank all the members of the wider community which makes our school a hub of learning- field trips and guest speakers, parents and families, Students Council and the School executive team for their continued support of the school. Together we will keep the strong tradition of excellent education alive in NWIS.
