Leppington High School

A new partially selective public high school in Leppington, in Sydney’s south-west, for boys and girls. It opens on Day 1 of Term 1, 2027 with Year 7 only, and adds a year each year until it runs Years 7 to 12. Partially selective means it has selective classes alongside classes for local students. Here’s how to get in, how its students do in the HSC (the exams at the end of Year 12), and what the school is like.

30 selective places in Year 7, from 2027.

The selective stream is a set of classes for students offered a selective place, through the Selective test in Year 6. Families from outside the school’s local area can apply for a selective place. The school says selective students typically study together in their core subjects.

What the school says: “You can apply for a selective high school place even if Leppington High School is outside your local enrolment area.” The school’s website, read 29 October 2026

Worth knowing
  • Leppington High School is brand new: it opens on Day 1 of Term 1, 2027, on a new site beside Leppington Public School, with Year 7 only. In 2028 it has Years 7 and 8, and so on: its first Year 12 is in 2032.
  • The school has no separate gifted class. Its “Inspire” program supports high-potential students through extension and enrichment in class.
  • For selective places in Years 8 to 11, the school says to contact it directly.

Two ways in, for places starting in 2028.

Year 7 places go through the Department’s Selective test. Places in Years 8 to 11 go through the school’s own application and HAST (the Higher Ability Selection Test), a test several selective schools share (our HAST guide).

30 selective places in Year 7: 15 for boys and 15 for girls. From the Department’s list (read 28 October 2026).

Can we apply if we live outside the local area?

What mark do you need to get in?

The Department doesn’t publish one. It changes every year, depending on who applies.

Aiming for Leppington?

Of the 22 students we taught who sat the Selective test in 2026, 17 received an offer of a selective place (not always at this school). We will never promise a place: the Department marks the exam and the cut-offs move every year. What we can promise is that you will know where your child stands, for Year 7 or for HAST.
