School intake area update – Inner Sydney HS and Alexandria Park CS (7-12)
There is currently a transition arrangement for the section of Redfern bounded by Redfern St, Elizabeth St, Phillip St, and Cope Street that is now located in the Alexandria Park Community School 7-12 catchment.
Please note the arrangement will be managed locally by schools impacted. While School Finder reflects the updated boundaries, if you live in Redfern you can check if your home address sits within the former Inner Sydney High School intake area here.
Families living in this area who wish to enrol at Inner Sydney High School for Year 7 in 2026 or 2027 can apply to this school via the department’s Online Enrolment System as an out-of-area application.
When assessing out-of-area applications, proximity will be a carefully considered criterion. Residents of Redfern currently living in addresses that were previously in the Inner Sydney High School intake area will be given priority consideration when their out-of-area application is assessed.
Key Points for Families:
- Younger siblings of students enrolled prior to Day 1 Term 2, 2027, residing in the former Inner Sydney High School intake area will still be able to attend the same high school together.
- Current students at impacted high schools will not be required to change schools.
If you have any questions or require clarification, please contact the relevant school principal in the first instance.
