The Norwood International High School (NIHS) community has a local focus, but a global vision.
This vision is shared between our community stakeholders (parents, caregivers, students, teachers and school management teams, both local and international students, community partners and at government level) and resonates strongly to support the purpose of the school: excellence and opportunity for all.
​
Like most other government schools, Norwood International High School has a Governing Council who work in partnership with the staff to ensure effective governance and management of the school. The NIHS Governing Council determines strategic objectives and budgeting priorities.
