A fully selective public high school for girls at Moore Park, in Sydney’s inner east, for Years 7 to 12. Fully selective means every student was chosen for a selective place. 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.
Bing’s Academy is independent of the school. Every figure here is from a public source, named under each section.

Most Sydney Girls students start in Year 7. Years 8 to 10 stay at 150, so a place opens only when a student leaves. The school says it will not take students into Years 11 and 12 after 2027.
What the school says: “Sydney Girls High School will not accept students into Years 11 and 12 after 2027.” The school’s website, read 28 October 2026
Year 7 places go through the Department’s Selective test. Places in Years 8 to 10 go through the school’s own application and a test called the Edutest, run by an outside provider.
The Year 7 application and test dates are official. The other dates are typical, based on the 2026 round: the school hasn’t announced its own dates for 2028 entry yet.

The HSC is the set of exams at the end of Year 12. Each HSC subject is marked out of 100. The school’s yearly report lists the average mark of its Year 12 students in each subject, next to the NSW average. Subjects with fewer than 10 students are not listed. Selective schools choose their students by test, so their averages usually sit above the NSW average: the useful part is which subjects are strongest.

No. It uses the Edutest for Years 8 to 11 (Years 8 to 10 from 2028). The Edutest is held on one day shared by six selective schools. We don’t tutor for the Edutest at the moment. For Year 7, children sit the Selective test.
Not from 2028. The school says it will not accept students into Years 11 and 12 after 2027.
150, all for girls, from the Department’s list (read 28 October 2026).
Yes. All 929 students in 2025 were girls.
The Department doesn’t publish one. It changes every year, depending on who applies.
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. We don’t tutor for the Edutest at the moment.
