Granville Boys High School: selective class and Enrichment class

On the NSW Selective test alone. ^{1NSW Education · 12 October 2026 · Published} Granville Boys is partially selective: it has selective classes inside a local high school^{1NSW Education · 12 October 2026 · Published}, and the NSW Department of Education fills that class from one statewide test.

Boys sit the test in Year 6^{1NSW Education · 12 October 2026 · Published}. Families choose up to 3^{2NSW Education · 12 October 2026 · Published} schools, and offers rest on test performance and the order of your school choices^{2NSW Education · 12 October 2026 · Published}.

Entry is by its own placement test, set and marked externally, covering English, Mathematics and Writing^{6Granville Boys High School · 13 October 2026 · Published}.

The school recommends boys interested in a selective place sit both tests. ^{6Granville Boys High School · 13 October 2026 · Published}

The school is at 14 Mary Street, Granville^{1NSW Education · 12 October 2026 · Published}, in the Sydney - Parramatta^{10NSW Education data · 13 October 2026 · Published} region. The closest transport hub is Granville station, with the main bus station beside it, a five-minute walk from the school^{11Granville Boys High School · 13 October 2026 · Published}, the school's travel page says.

Driving is harder: there is no on-site parking^{11Granville Boys High School · 13 October 2026 · Published}. Students may get free or subsidised travel to and from school^{12Transport for NSW · 13 October 2026 · Published}.

Possibly. For Years 8 to 11 you apply directly to the school, usually between June and July^{14Granville Boys High School · 13 October 2026 · Published}. ^{15NSW Education · 12 October 2026 · Published} Places depend on students leaving, and some schools have none in some years^{15NSW Education · 13 October 2026 · Published}.

Each school runs its own round, and there is no automatic transfer between selective schools^{15NSW Education · 13 October 2026 · Published}.

No. There is no set minimum entry score^{5NSW Education · 12 October 2026 · Published} for the selective class here or at any school. Each year's level comes from how many children apply, how they perform, the places available and how many offers are declined^{5NSW Education · 13 October 2026 · Published}.

The school publishes HSC and ATAR results. Those are Year 12 outcomes and don't show what a Year 7 offer needs. To learn about the school, the Department suggests you ask friends, family and your community about their experiences^{2NSW Education · 13 October 2026 · Published}.
