About

Hornsby Girls High School is an academically selective government secondary school serving students in Years 7 to 12, located adjacent to the central business district of Hornsby in New South Wales. The school operates on the traditional lands of the Dharrug and Kuringai peoples. Its heritage-listed main building stands as a physical symbol of the school's pride and long tradition within the community. The school draws strength from a strong parent body and the active involvement of its Old Girls' Union, both of which contribute to the distinctive culture and continuity of the institution. This enduring community support reflects the school's motto, Faith with Fortitude, which speaks to the values underpinning school life. As a selective school, Hornsby Girls High School caters to high-achieving students, and this is reflected in its curriculum offerings. The school delivers High Potential and Gifted Education programs, providing structured pathways for students whose learning needs extend beyond the standard curriculum.
