Access to co-educational schools
The NSW Government has made a commitment that every student in NSW will have guaranteed access to a co-educational public high school by 2027.
Many more families will be able to enrol their children in a co-educational public high school from 2025, with all students in NSW guaranteed access by 2027.
In adjusting intake areas, we are considering factors including enrolment trends; public transport access; size and utilisation rate of co-educational high schools; the number of students living in each proposed intake area; the proportion of students who historically enrol in either single sex or co-educational schools; and the capacity of co-educational schools to enrol students.
Families living in single-sex high school intake areas will still be guaranteed a place at their designated single-sex school.
School intake area adjustments
As part of the NSW Government commitment for all students in NSW to have guaranteed access to co-educational schooling, the department is adjusting 19 identified co-educational high school intake areas.
Single-sex school intake areas with proposed co-educational high school options for 2025 are listed below.
Also listed below are co-educational schools that will have their intake areas adjusted to support the plan.

Consultation feedback
An update on the consultation feedback received for the NSW Department of Education’s draft co-educational high school intake area adjustments will be provided soon.
In answer to some frequently asked questions:
- Out-of-area enrolment will be considered in line with the Department’s current policy. Recent changes to school boundaries and factors such as siblings are taken into account for out-of-area enrolment applications.
- Families living in single-sex high school intake areas will still be guaranteed a place at their designated single-sex school.
