Choosing a private school in Hornsby

Visit at least two schools before you decide. Ask about class sizes, what the fee covers (uniforms, camps, devices and music lessons are often extra), and how the school supports students who need more challenge or more help.

Catholic schools usually charge lower fees than independent schools and give priority to Catholic families and siblings, but most welcome other families too. Many schools offer sibling discounts, and some offer scholarships or bursaries. Our guide to government, Catholic and independent schools explains the trade-offs.
