Enriching Humanity
Senior Campus - (11 - 13) The Parade, Magill
Norwood Morialta High School (commonly referred to as Norwood Morialta) is a dual-campus, co-educational, public high school. The school’s two campuses are both located in the Eastern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. The school is frequently abbreviated as NMHS.
Founded in 1910 as Norwood Boys School on Osmond Terrace Norwood, it is currently one of the oldest secondary schools in South Australia through Norwood High School celebrated its centenary in 2010. NMHS has approximately 1400 students enrolled from Years 8 to 13, including 155 international students.
The school has a campus in Rostrevor (Years 8 to 10) which is known as the Middle Campus, and another campus in Magill (Years 11 to 13) known as the Senior Campus.
Norwood High School first opened in 1910 on Osmond Terrace Norwood as Norwood Boys School. In 1915 it moved to new premises at Lossie Street Kensington Park. For a period the school was named Norwood District High School. In 1962 the school moved to what is now the NMHS Senior Campus on The Parade. Norwood High School shared common origins with Norwood Boys Technical School, a school that later became Norwood Boys High, then Marryatville Boys High, and subsequently amalgamated with Kensington and Norwood Girls Technical High to become Marryatville High School, a school that shared a strong rivalry with NHS and continues to with the current NMHS. The school provided an alternative to parents living in the eastern suburbs that wanted to enrol their children in a public school rather than one of the many private, selective and technical schools that were also in the area. During that time Ivan Coward was principal, and he met the needs of those enrolled in the public system who sought entry to the academic world.
