St George Girls High School: how girls win a place

Through the Selective test: St George Girls places every Year 7 student through the Department's selective process. ^{1NSW Education · 12 October 2026 · Published} You don't apply to the school for Year 7. You apply once to the NSW Department of Education, naming up to 3^{2NSW Education · 12 October 2026 · Published} schools.

Children usually sit the test in Year 6^{1NSW Education · 12 October 2026 · Published}. Offers follow test performance and the order of your school choices^{2NSW Education · 12 October 2026 · Published}.

The school is on Victoria Street, Kogarah^{1NSW Education · 12 October 2026 · Published}, in the Sydney - Inner South West^{8NSW Education data · 13 October 2026 · Published} region. Its travel page suggests the T4 line to Kogarah station, then a walk^{9St George Girls HS · 13 October 2026 · Published}.

Think about the daily trip as well as the school. The Department says less travel could reduce harm to schoolwork and wellbeing^{2NSW Education · 13 October 2026 · Published}.

Plan your commute shows the school in your own map app, so you can test the trip from home. ^{8NSW Education data · 13 October 2026 · Published}

Possibly. St George Girls runs its own entry for Years 8 to 11. ^{11NSW Education · 12 October 2026 · Published} It limits numbers to 150^{6St George Girls HS · 13 October 2026 · Published} in Years 7 to 10, so a Years 8 to 10 place opens only when a student leaves.

The next round's details will be on the school's enrolment page.

What is the HAST, and which schools share it?

The HAST is the Years 8 to 11 test, and the fee pays for ACER to set and mark it. ^{6St George Girls HS · 13 October 2026 · Published} If St George Girls is your first preference, your child sits it at the school. ^{6St George Girls HS · 13 October 2026 · Published}

Results are shared between St George Girls and a listed group of selective schools, including Caringbah High School, when one of them is your first choice^{6St George Girls HS · 13 October 2026 · Published}. So one sitting can count for more than one school.

Think about your child's interests and abilities, academic and co-curricular needs, social and emotional needs, and any specialised support^{2NSW Education · 13 October 2026 · Published}, as the Department suggests. Tick what fits; nothing leaves this page.
