How to get into Moorebank High School
Entry is decided by the NSW Selective High School Placement Test, sat in Year 6. Families nominate up to three selective schools in order of preference, and placement is based on the placement score and those preferences. Our NSW selective school preparation hub walks through the full timeline, test sections and a preparation runway.
Moorebank High School is partially selective: selective-stream places are offered through the placement test, while the wider campus also enrols local students. Nominate the school only if your family would accept a selective-stream place on this campus — competition still varies year to year even when the NSW Department of Education does not publish a separate cut-off for every partially selective school.
