School Context

Nyngan High School (NHS) is a comprehensive high school in remote rural NSW. The school has an enrolment of 180 students, approximately 28-30% of whom are of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent. The school receives funding to support student learning outcomes through the Priority Schools, Country Area and Low Socio Economic National Partnerships Programs. Positive partnerships exist between the school and its four partner schools – Nyngan, Hermidale and Girilambone Public Schools and St Joseph’s Primary School. The school works in close partnership with its community supported by an active Parents and Citizens Association and Aboriginal Education Consultative Group. The school is committed to maximising results in National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy and Higher School Certificate examinations for all students. Students are offered a broad curriculum choice which is enhanced by a portion of subjects shared with Cobar High School students via technology. Vocational Education and Training courses are offered to Stage 5 and 6 students delivered at the school and through TAFE. Effective alternative curriculum choices are comprehensively offered. Gifted and Talented students are catered for in Stage 4 and 5 Enrichment Classes and the Western Region Virtual Selective provision, xsel. Stage 4 & 5 Mid and Opportunity Classes are in place for mainstream students and those working towards the achievement of outcomes for their year level. A strong student welfare focus is being reinvigorated through a positive behaviour model and a committed Learning Support Team. A highly effective Transition Program assists Year 6 students in their progression to high school. Approximately half of the teaching staff has taught for three or less years and half of Executive staff are in their positions for the first time. Teacher and Leadership Quality is a focus for the school, supported by a Head Teacher Mentor and innovative, extensive professional learning.
