Category: NSW And Sydney High School Catchment Map

I have been mapping the NSW school catchment for a long time and 2025 is really the year that most of number of changes that had happened. I won’t be able to go into every single changes in detail like I done for the previous years. Today I will focus on Georges River College, previously it was formed by merging Hurstville Boys and Penshurst Girls High School, they still remained as its own school just a name change.

2025 really is when the major changes came, a new school Georges River College Peakhurst has opened and Hurstville and Penshurst campus has been converted into coed as well. Pretty major changes of catchment also happened involving surrounding schools as well.

The black border is the 2025 catchment boundary and the red is the 2024 boundary. That being said, this year’s changes are so massive, it will be difficult to see every thing from the image below.

The red striped area belong to the Georges River College, Peakhurst campus’s catchment.

The yellow striped area belong to the Georges River College, Penshurst campus’s catchment.

The green striped area belong to the Georges River College, Hurstville campus’s catchment.

The most common name used by the NSW Department of Education is called “catchment” which refers to those students who reside in a particular area and are guaranteed a position in specific schools.

Looking at the catchment published for 2025 in NSW, it appears that significant zoning changes had happened. Previously there are areas that covered by single sex school only, now it appears that all area are covered by coed schools as well. Just to note, when I went to high school in Sydney decades ago, same practice applied as well, where choice of single sex and coed high school was offered to me.

Efforts are now being made to merge the previous separate boys and girls high school into coed schools as well. The most famous example is probably the now merged Randwick High School.

For this particular article, I will use Ashfield Boys and Girls High School as an example to illustrate what had happened to its school catchment in 2025.

The combined striped area are all part of the Ashfield Boys and Girls High School catchment, this was not changed from 2024 to 2025.

The yellow striped area marked as “1” is also part of the Concord High School catchment in 2025 now.

The green striped area marked as “2” is now part of the Strathfield South High School catchment for 2025 as well.

The purple marked area marked as “3” is now part of the Dulwich High School of Visual Arts and Design catchment as well.

Interesting changes to the catchment in 2025, part of the existing The Forest High School catchment was transferred to Davidson High School.

The black border is the 2025 catchment boundary and the red is the 2024 boundary.

The yellow strip highlighted area is what will be transferred to Davidson High School from The Forest High School. The area is consist of pretty much all single dwellings, however, the area is very sizable, so there will be significant impact on enrolment numbers. Also parts of the transferred area is so close to The Forest High School, something like two to three hundred meters straight line distance, while it is much further away from the Davidson High School. I would imagine some of the residents will not be impressed about this particular change.

There are very significant catchment changes happening in Inner City High School for 2025. Given that how recently the school was established, this significant of a change is a little surprising.

The black border is the 2025 catchment boundary and the red is the 2024 boundary.

The yellow strip highlighted area is what will be transferred to Rose Bay Secondary College from Inner City High School in 2025. This was originally part of Rose Bay Secondary College’s catchment a few year back.

The green strip highlighted area will be transferred to newly merged Randwick High School from Inner City High School and red strip highlighted area will be transferred from Rosebay Secondary College to Randwick High School in 2025. Both change combined will mark a very significant expansion of Randwick High School’s catchment, this is likely due to recent merge of Randwick Boys and Girls High School with its accompanying increase in enrolment capacity.

The purple strip highlighted area will be transferred to Alexandria Park Community School from Inner City High School in 2025. This area use to be belong to Alexandria Park Community School catchment a few years back as well. This particular area is probably the most controversial in this recent change, as it is really close to the new Inner City High School within easy walking distance.

This is the 2025 update for the NSW, Sydney High School catchment map. There appear to be fair number of changes compare to last year’s catchments. I think most should have been detailed previously already, either way I will go through them in more detail if they had not been after finishing the general Australian wide update for this year.

Big changes are happening in the NSW school catchment in 2025. All the areas that are only covered by single-sex schools will also be covered by other Coed schools as well in 2025. The exception to this is Randwick Boys and Girls High School which will be merged instead. Single-sex school catchments that already overlap with other Coed schools currently will not be changed.

The following map is taken directly from the NSW Department of Education website. I will break it down in detail and go through impacted schools one by one.

• Bass High School

There is a small section getting transferred to Inner Sydney High School from Alexandria Park Community College in 2024.

The red-striped area is bounded by Zamia and Maddison Street to the north, South Dowling Street to the east, Crescent and Phillip Street to the south, and Young and Bourke Street to the west. This area will be transferred from Alexandria Park Community College to Inner Sydney High School in 2024. This area is relatively small in size, but looking at the map, it consists of a mix of low to medium and high-density dwellings. Examination shows there are a number of high-density residential builds, which means despite the relatively small size the population and potential impact on the enrolment size is probably significant. A minor point of interest, it is right next to the proposed new park and recreational area that is going to be cut out from Moore Park Golf Course.

The black border is the 2024 catchment boundary and the red is the 2023 boundary.
