Our Vision & Values

Empowering Individual Excellence

At Norwood International High School we recognise that each student brings a unique set of skills, talents and interests with them. We value this diversity and aim to develop every student as an individual. In this way, we seek to inspire a passion for learning and engage our students in a world class learning experience that extends their individual strengths and empowers them to achieve their personal best in all aspects of learning and life.
​
Our vision is to empower curious and compassionate global citizens, shaping a better world for themselves and their community. This commitment is also underpinned by our embedded core values of Curiosity, Community, Integrity and Diversity and our motto, by daring and by doing, which emphasises the combination of confidence, curiosity, courage and action to overcome challenges, achieve success and accomplish purposeful goals.

We are proud of our long history and traditions of academic excellence and opportunity for all, and know that our future plans will continue to enhance our students’ learning experiences.
