Connect: meet the 2023 sub-schools 

Sub-schools and the Connect program

Student engagement and positive relationships are an essential pre-condition to learning. The NHS Subschool structure and Connect program are designed to enhance student belonging, wellbeing and positive connections to the school. Our Heads of School (subschool leaders) oversee the social, emotional and academic progress of their students, supported by Year Level Program Leaders, tutors (Connect teachers) and classroom teachers. In the coming weeks you should be hearing from your child's tutor. They, and the leaders below, are your key contacts for 2023.
