Good morning, Parents and Carers,
Late last evening, we received the catchment notification announcement in relation to the transition of Asquith Boys High School to a co-educational learning environment in 2026.
With primary school being the base for catchment areas, Asquith Boys High School (co-educational from 2026) has the following primary schools as their local enrolment intake for Day 1, Term 1 - 2026.
- Hornsby South Primary School
- Hornsby North Primary School
- Hornsby Heights Primary School
- Mt Colah Primary School
We are excited to further the excellent relationship and student intake from the schools located within our catchment area. We are also eager to continue the ongoing and well-established relationship that we have with the many other Primary Schools now considered outside of our catchment area.
Asquith Boys High School will continue to prioritise siblings from our non-catchment Primary Schools and will consider all non-local enrolment applications from students outside of our intake area.
All non-local enrolment applications will be assessed from students with reference to our enrolment policy. Non-local enrolment applications will be considered with reference to each applicant's residential address and the following criteria:
- Siblings of a student currently enrolled at Asquith Boys High School (co-educational from 2026) are prioritised.
- Son, daughter or sibling of a former student of Asquith Boys High School (co-educational from 2026).
- Availability of a subject(s) or combination of subjects that can be met at Asquith Boys High School (co-educational from 2026) but are not available at another school.
- Compassionate and/or medical circumstances.
- Proximity and access to the school.
- Structure and organisation of the school.
Thank you for your patience with this long and drawn-out process. I hope that the announcement will dispel any ongoing anxiety in relation to future enrolment at Asquith Boys High School (co-educational from 2026).
