More high school options for NSW families
The NSW Government has made the commitment that every student will have guaranteed access to a co-educational public high school by 2027.
To support this commitment, school intake areas will be adjusted to make sure every student has the guaranteed option to enrol in a co-educational high school by 2027.
Parents are encouraged to view the new school intake areas to see which high schools your child can enrol into from 2024. For more information and to provide feedback about these changes, please visit the department website.
Our school can help with enrolment queries throughout the year.
