List of creative and performing arts high schools in New South Wales

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New South Wales Department of Education and Training runs six creative and performing arts high schools. These schools aim to foster excellence in creative fields while teaching the same core syllabus as other state-run high schools. These schools are accorded an unusually high degree of autonomy by the department in selecting students and teaching staff. The schools boast specialised facilities and equipment and competition for places is acute.

This list also includes three Independent schools: the AIPAH, Talent Development High School and the McDonald College.
