Enrolment

Selective High Schools such as Smith's Hill High School provide an educationally enriched environment for highly achieving, academically gifted students.

Enrolment in a public selective school is limited to students who are Australian Citizens or who hold a Permanent Resident visa. Students who are offered a place at the school must supply documentation which supports their residency status.

For a full outline of these criteria and procedures, visit NSW Department of Education Selective high schools and opportunity classes 

Local enrolment area

Most schools have designated local enrolment areas. The School Finder shows our local enrolment area. Note: local enrolment areas are subject to change.

For more information, visit high school enrolment.

Download an application to enrol (PDF 5.9MB).

The application form must be completed in English. However, a translated application to enrol may help you to fill out the form in English.

We will assess applications for non-local enrolment on a case-by-case basis.

Distance education

Distance education is an equity program for students who are geographically isolated or whose individual circumstances prevent them from regularly attending school. Students must meet one of the conditions in the Distance Education Enrolment Procedures to be eligible to access this program as a full-time student.

Distance education schools also provide single subjects for students in Years 9 to 12 to enhance curriculum choice. Please contact us for details.
