As one of the largest secondary schools in South Australia, The Norwood Morialta High School has much to offer its community.
The years of fine academic tradition continue to be reflected in the achievement of consistently high grades in the annual SSABSA assessments. The achievements of the middle school students reflect a school which enables its students to achieve success in a wide range of activities.
Students have opportunities to achieve their personal best in academic pursuits as well as in a vast range of co-curricular activities. The school enjoys the support of a number of active parent committees which support student participation in learning programs, sport and club activities.
One of the unique features of the school is the way it values diversity. Students from a very wide range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds respect and learn from each other. This is supported by a curriculum which actively promotes multiculturalism and international education. Over the past few years, students have sought to enrol at The Norwood Morialta High School from outside of the school's zone. As well, students from Hong Kong, Vietnam, China, Germany and South America have been very successful in the school's International Program.
The school is close to the city centre and staff create many opportunities for students to participate in community based learning in the cultural and business precincts.
There are many exciting features to the school and I invite you to browse through this website to investigate the learning journeys undertaken by our students.
At the same time, the school is interested in continuous improvement and if you have questions or suggestions for improvement, please communicate with us
Curriculum
The curriculum offered in our school is shaped by a number of factors such as the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE), International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (IBMYP) and the introduction of the Australian curriculum.
When considering the final curriculum to be offered in our school we consider students’ needs, the mandated curriculum requirements, class sizes and learning pathways for students.
Every year, the curriculum leaders review the curriculum generally and specific subject offerings.
