Noah competed against 100 others for his title and while he was an accomplished guitarist, he had to rely on his voice alone for the competition.
He believed that what gave him the edge was having Bill Amos as his mentor.
"Everyone wanted to go on Jason's team, but Bill helped me to move on stage and work on my stage presence," he said.
Then he worked on his vocals with Petra Miller.
At first, Noah Dorin didn't think he was likely to win the competition, which was held in Narromine.
"Originally I wasn't going to go in it, but I went to Dubbo and I thought it could be fun.
"I never entered to win. I like doing what I do."
Noah has been playing the guitar ever since he was eight and first sang in public when he was 13.
Over the years he has been taught by his father and he said that while his father was a brilliant singer, he never performed in front of people, which made him more determined to give it a go.
The school has assemblies every fortnight, and Noah often performs at them.
Wellington High School principal Don Harvey said Noah had been the first male student to sing onstage at these assemblies and that he was an excellent example for other students.
