Have your say about high school education in the Hornsby-Berowra area
The school community is taking part in community consultations relating to educational offerings for years 7-12 in the local area.
The NSW Department of Education wants to your views about high school enrolment decision-making and feedback on a range of proposals for future arrangements at Asquith Girls and Asquith Boys high schools. This includes:
A. Retaining the existing arrangement where families can choose between Asquith Boys or Asquith Girls high schools and one existing co-educational high school (either Kuring-gai High School or Turramurra High School as per designated intake areas).
B. Reclassifying Asquith Boys and Asquith Girls high schools to become two separate standalone medium-sized co-educational high schools, each servicing their own exclusive intake area community.
C. One large co-educational high school model spread across the existing Asquith Boys and Asquith Girls High School sites, comprised of one junior campus (Years 7, 8 and 9) and one senior campus (Years 10, 11 and 12) servicing a large intake area community.
Please note, in options B and C, Ku-ring-gai High School and Turramurra High School would each service their own exclusive intake area community, no longer sharing geographic drawing areas with single-sex high schools.
Surveys and workshops are confidential and cannot be used to identify any individual.
Students, parents/carers and staff from local high schools and primary schools can participate in the consultation process. The local community and special interest groups will also be invited to have their say.
