Have your say about high school education in the Kogarah-Rockdale area

The school community is taking part in community consultations relating to educational offerings for years 7-12 in the local area.

The NSW Department of Education wants to your views about high school enrolment decision-making and feedback on a range of proposals for future arrangements at James Cook Boys Technology and Moorefield Girls high schools. This includes (in no order):

·      Retaining the current offering of single-sex education at James Cook Boys Technology High School and Moorefield Girls High School.

·      Retaining single-sex education at James Cook Boys Technology High School and Moorefield Girls High School but increasing the opportunities for shared gender settings, including co-educational classes for Years 11 and 12.

·       Merging James Cook Boys Technology High School and Moorefield Girls High to establish a co-educational school at the current location.

 

The consultation period will start on Friday 3 November 2023 and finish on Friday 15 December.

Surveys and workshops are confidential and cannot be used to identify any individual.  

 

Students, parents/carers and staff from local primary schools and high schools can participate in the consultation process. The local community and special interest groups will also be invited to have their say.

How to have your say

Survey: Please complete the online survey (once only) for parents and carers. There are 2 questions in the survey to be completed by students in years 3-6.

If you do not want your child to participate in the survey, please notify us by replying to this email. Please include your child’s name and year. 

Workshop: This information will be provided to you soon.

I encourage everyone to have their say in by participating in the survey and/or workshops. Your voices are so important to the future of education in our local community.
