Do you have a child who is currently in Year 5? Does your child demonstrate some or all of the following:

  • intense curiosity
  • learns new ideas or skills quickly and easily
  • displays a good memory
  • asks complex questions
  • is creative
  • enjoys thinking in complex ways
  • requires fewer repetitions when learning new things
  • becomes intensely focused in their area of interest or passion.

Your child may benefit in being a student at a NSW Department of Education selective high school. Selective high schools are part of the NSW public education system.

A selective high school can provide your child with an education designed to stimulate their intellect, support their development and mix with other like-minded students.

There are 47 selective high schools across NSW which form part of the public education system.
