NSW is home to a range of selective schools, each catering to different needs and interests:

– Fully Selective Schools: Schools like Baulkham Hills High School and North Sydney Boys High School fall under this category. They are known for their rigorous academic focus and competitive environment.

– Partially Selective Schools: Schools like Fort Street High School offer both selective and comprehensive streams, allowing for a diverse student body.

– Agricultural High Schools: There are four schools under this wing, which are fully selective with a specialised focus on agriculture.

– Specialist High Schools: Conservatorium High School, which specialises in music, provides a unique opportunity for students with specific talents.

Aurora College – The Virtual Classroom: This unique offering provides a selective class environment for students in rural and remote areas, accessible through 182 approved host schools. Here, selective class students primarily engage in English, mathematics, and science courses separately, while integrating with non-selective peers for other subjects.
