About James Nash State High School:
Our school is committed to developing independent self-assured yet humble young men and women. We provide the learning opportunities for this to occur through a gradual release process across the 6 years of high school. The transition to adulthood from 12 year olds requires that we empower these young people to undertake safe risk taking, ensuring that they learn through their mistakes and develop an understanding of the need to be responsible for their actions and accountable for the outcomes. Achieving this provides a great sense of pride for both our parents and teachers.
