Making their mark: The regional and outer suburban campuses ranked among NSW’s Top 100 Public High Schools

Several Western Sydney and rural schools have made a strong showing in the nations’s top 100 public high schools, proving location is no barrier to academic excellence.

Blacktown Boys High School in greater Western Sydney is partially selective, but with three support classes for students with special needs, and one in six – at most – of the 900 kids admitted through the selective stream, ranking 40th overall is no mean feat.

“We’re very proud of where we are (in Western Sydney) and the results that we have achieved – last year we had over 20 students with ATARs over 90,” he said.

“One of the things that really drives us here is to make sure that the boys … have wonderful pathways that they can pursue when they finish school, and there’s no prejudice because of where they live or their socio-economic status.”

Year 12 student Yaduraj Tripathi said the “diverse and multicultural community” at Blacktown Boys sets his school apart from others.

“Students come from many different backgrounds and that’s what builds our school community,” he said.

“The diversity and multiculturalism in our school gives every student a chance to strive for academic excellence.”
