Values and vision
Nishkam High School's values are summarised by both the school slogan, "excellence in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well", and the school name, with the word "nishkam" translating as "selflessness". The school emphasises the Sikh value of serving others and welcomes children of all faiths and none.
With a diverse curriculum including music and physical education, the secondary school also has a strong spiritual focus. Its ethos is based on 24 spiritual and moral dispositions on topics such as compassion and creativity. The school is about "more than academic excellence", is "more than a school" and encourages students to look after "more than self".
