Sydney Distance Education High School

Education NSW introduces Sydney Distance Education High School in Woolloomooloo, for all your education and learning needs.

Sydney Distance Education High School is a public school committed to excellence and equity in distance education. We are the largest school provider of flexible learning programs in NSW, serving students from Helensburgh in the south to Lake Munmorah in the north, and west to the Blue Mountains. Close to the central business district of Sydney, we work on the land of the Traditional Custodians, the Cadigal People of Eora Country.

Students attend our school because they are not able to be at another school on a fulltime basis. We teach courses for fulltime and part time students, who include both the vocationally talented and those with special needs. In addition, 40% of our students study single courses they are not able to access at their home schools. We offer 11 courses in each of Years 7 and 8, 28 courses across Years 9 and 10, and more than 40 courses for Years 11 and 12. The school’s middle school program, in Years 7 to 9, provides a further 15 courses for students who need additional literacy and numeracy support.
