Students selected for academic and agricultural excellence
As one of the top Government schools in NSW, Hurlstone combines traditional
academic studies with the opportunity for students to relate their work to a
key primary sector. In doing so, students from communities that are
separated geographically are provided with the opportunity to live and learn
within a thriving academic community.
For 105 years Hurlstone Agricultural High School has provided a vibrant
learning environment for boarders. Hurlstone currently houses 155 boarding
students from all over NSW. At Hurlstone, students are presented with
opportunities to broaden their minds and determine their futures with a
distinct and unique curriculum.
The life of a boarder is characterised by the development of deep and
lasting friendships and great camaraderie. Boarding students learn so much
about themselves and others by living in a community of their peers.
Boarding students also develop a great love of their school and parents are
impressed by the independence, self reliance and self confidence their
children develop from boarding.
