25.01.2022 It's BOOK WEEK at New Norfolk High School until Wednesday, Week 2. Our staff have organised lots of fun activities to highlight the joy of reading! We will also be running a DRESS UP ASSEMBLY on Wednesday next week. There will be prizes for each grade so get thinking ... This year’s Book Week theme is CURIOUS CREATURES, WILD MINDS. What’s a book you remember reading with a curious creature in it?

25.01.2022 Last Friday was Schools Tree Day and what lovely weather we had for it! Ms Newfield's class got their hands dirty and helped Ms Brodie transplant 50 saplings! We can't wait to see these trees grow up and brighten our school in years to come.

23.01.2022 On Thursday 27th August (Week 6), all of Grade 10 will attend RYDA Day at Hobart Showgrounds to learn about road safety. Bring a water bottle and a packed lunch for the day, a sausage sizzle will also be available for $2. Remember to contact the school if you cannot attend.

21.01.2022 It's the sound of science! We LOVE hearing young people get THIS EXCITED about science, and with experiments like these every lunch time, who wouldn't be?! If you would like to foster this excitement at home, be sure to check out the SPECTRA cards students received at the start of the week. NNHS was lucky enough to receive one card for each student, PACKED full of scientific activities you can do at home. ... Check out the comments for a picture of the card, and be sure to send us a photo of anythink you do!

Here you can see the NOT AT ALL competitive Ms Robertson enjoying a game of dodgeball with last year's grade 10s at SupaWorld, GO ROBBO!

21.01.2022 Well, to say today's staff vs student netball game was competitive is an understatement. The students should be congratulated on their valiant effort (with NO subs) but ultimately it was a staff victory 7-4!! Thank you and well done to all who participated

11.01.2022 And they did do us proud! Participating in their first ever Science and Engineering Challenge, New Norfolk High School students came away with a 2nd place (Turbine Design), a 3rd place (Grasping at Straw), and a 4th place result in the hotly contested Gold Fever Bridge Building Competition (Mercury Article). Mollie (Year 9) enjoyed the individual aspect of the day stating it was good to figure things out yourself, because you won’t always have somebody there to help you out. Mitchell (Year 10) said that it was a good day out and that he liked the turbine activity because it was good to see how a real turbine works.
