Nossal High School
Nossal High School, also referred to as Nossal or NHS, is a government-funded mixed-sex academically selective secondary day school, located in the Melbourne suburb of Berwick, Victoria, Australia. The school (named after Sir Gustav Nossal, a prominent Australian immunologist and 2000 Australian of the Year) was established in 2010 and caters for students in Year 9 to Year 12. The school's curriculum follows American educator Howard Gardener's concept of the Five Minds of the Future which includes, for example, the absence of school bells, as students are expected to know when and where to be. Students have access to many extra-curricular programs, such as inter-school sport, debating, music, clubs/societies and various national and international competitions and creative-based events such as the Model United Nations Assembly and the Australian Computational and Linguistics Olympiad. As Nossal High School is part of the Select-Entry Network of Victorian selective schools (alongside Suzanne Cory High School, Mac.Robertson Girls' High School and Melbourne High School), prospective students must sit a 3-hour-long uniform entrance examination, testing their knowledge and reasoning in literacy and numeracy, with the 2017 exam attracting about 3,300 applicants; accepting only around 208 students into their Year 9 cohort. Nossal High School was ranked third out of all state secondary schools in Victoria based on VCE results in 2018.
