List of selective high schools in New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Below is a list of selective and agricultural high schools run by the NSW Department of Education. Entry to these schools is managed by the department's Selective High School and Opportunity Class Placement Unit. In years before, prospective students sit the Selective High School Test during May when students are in Year 6 (in former years March) and are allocated places at selective schools according to their profile mark, which is out of 300, which comprises both exam and school marks, however there is no more marks being provided to applicants. Students may list up to three preferred selective or agricultural high schools they wish to enter.
A number of other government and non-government high schools also select their students based on merit; these include, for example, creative and performing arts schools, and also some private schools.
