Embrace the Challenge Motto, Logo and Song

The Nossal High School Motto

“Embrace the Challenge”

This was the original statement presented to the foundation cohort on their introduction to their new school. It is a phrase that encapsulates the hope and high expectations we have for Nossal students to grow in their intellectual, social, physical and leadership pursuits. They have been thrown the challenge to succeed in a global world and we want them to embrace it.

To embrace: to hold closely, to accept with eagerness.
To challenge: a call to demonstrate one’s strength or ability. (Oxford, 2010)

The Nossal High School Logo

The Nossal High School logo consists of two books (representing academic study), forming a butterfly (emerging from a chrysalis) taking flight. This flight signifies the future and shows a link to the past, since the school is built on the old Casey Airfield.

EMBRACE THE CHALLENGE – School Song

Music and Lyrics Ed Fairlie

When challenges arise
And our pathway is clear,
We gather together
And calmly meet our fear.
With eager minds and hearts
We hear the distant call;
We take a step together,
With pride, as one, stand tall.

Chorus

Embrace the challenge,
be bold, be true.
Embrace the challenge
and see it through.
When we are one,
not one will fall.
Embrace the challenge,
heed Nossal’s call.

There’s a winding road ahead|
and we don’t know what’s in store,
But we can make a world
Where we help each other soar.
Where if we strive and fail
We go on, courage stirred.
Where every heart is proud,
And every voice is heard.

Chorus

Embrace the challenge,
be bold, be true.
Embrace the challenge
and see it through.
When we are one,
not one will fall.
Embrace the challenge,
heed Nossal’s call.
