Position Information Nyngan High School (NHS) is a comprehensive high school in remote/rural NSW. We respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we provide education, the Wongaibon nation. The school has an enrolment of 150–160 students each year, approximately 70 of whom identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. The school receives equity funding to support educational and developmental opportunities for students from a diverse range of backgrounds and learning needs and provides outstanding facilities in all learning spaces. Language classes deliver the local Ngiyampaa language to all Stage 4 students. Aboriginal perspectives are known, valued, and integrated into multiple facets of the school community, such as the Acknowledgment of Country, NAIDOC activities, and visibility of customs and practices across the school site.

Positive partnerships exist between the school and its four partner schools – Nyngan Public School, Hermidale Public School, Girilambone Public School and St Joseph’s Primary School. A highly effective Transition Program assists Year 6 students in their progression to high school. 

The school works in close partnership with its community and is actively supported by both the Nyngan High School Parents and Citizens Association and the Nyngan Local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group. Strong connections also exist with business and interagency partners of the school.

The school is committed to developing students who are versatile and resilient. Students are offered a broad curriculum choice in Stage 6 promoting academic, industry, creative, technological and interest-based pathways. Two Multi Categorical Student Support Unit classes integrate students within a broad culture of learning across the school.
