Hurlstone Agricultural High School
We are the only fully selective co-educational agricultural boarding public high school in NSW. Our students come from across the state to excel in a school built on high expectations, explicit teaching, and a culture of achievement. At Hurlstone Agricultural High School, every learner is supported to reach their personal best in the classroom, on the farm, and in boarding life.
The Hurlstone Agricultural High School difference
A School
High expectations. High achievement. As NSW’s only fully selective co-educational agricultural school, we set the standard for excellence and open doors to future success.
A Farm
Learning on the land and beyond. Our new Farm Hub delivers 21st-century agricultural education with hands-on skills, innovation, and industry links.

Principal's message
Welcome to Hurlstone Agricultural High School. As Relieving Principal, I am honoured to lead a school with a proud history and an exciting future. Hurlstone is more than a place of learning. It is a community shaped by high expectations, explicit teaching, and genuine care.
Students from across New South Wales join us to pursue academic excellence, world-class agricultural learning, and (for many from regional and remote areas) the unique experience of modern boarding life. Here, potential becomes talent, effort is rewarded, and every student is encouraged to aim high.
What makes Hurlstone special is the spirit of our students: their curiosity, resilience, and drive to succeed. I invite you to explore our website to discover what makes Hurlstone extraordinary, and I look forward to welcoming you into our school, our farm, and our home.
Mr Thomas Elley, Relieving Principal of Hurlstone Agricultural High School
