Georges River College Peakhurst

What Georges River College Peakhurst does

Georges River College Peakhurst Campus is a coeducational middle years public high school located at 24-26 Rona Street, Peakhurst, NSW, serving students in Years 7 through 10. It is owned and operated by the NSW Department of Education as part of the Georges River College network of schools in the St George area of Sydney, and is led by Principal Diane Wilson with Deputy Principals Scott Wilson and Sophia Favuzzi. The school delivers the standard NSW secondary curriculum across eight key learning areas (English, Mathematics, Science, HSIE, PDHPE, CAPA, TAS, Languages) plus Special Education support delivered through five support classes for students with autism and moderate intellectual and physical disabilities, with an instructional emphasis on differentiated learning, explicit teaching, and inclusive practice.

The school's product layer centers on differentiated programs for high potential and gifted students via the Year 7 Extension Class and the Inspire HPGE program (delivered in partnership with the NSW DoE HPGE team), targeted interventions through Learning Enhancement, a wellbeing framework staffed by school counsellors, year advisers, a Girls Mentor and youth workers, and the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award. Technology infrastructure is operationally oriented rather than proprietary: Google Classroom for learning management, Sentral for attendance and academic reporting, School Bytes for payments and consent, SchoolzinePlus for newsletters, and Brightcove for video, with a No BYOD policy under which the school provides all student technology. Facilities include upgraded computing labs, library, TAS woodworking rooms, multiple indoor and outdoor sports courts, and special education support spaces.

The school operates under a government-funded revenue model with no tuition fees; all financial contributions from families are voluntary, and operational funding flows from the NSW Department of Education. Its go-to-market is event-driven: enrollment is managed through the NSW DoE eHub system (school code 8408), constrained to a defined local intake area with out-of-area applications evaluated on criteria including sibling attendance, proximity, parent employment at the school, and special circumstances. Outreach occurs via an annual Open Night in February or March, Year 7 orientation days in December, Year 7 Foundation Days, a Meet the Teacher BBQ, school newsletter, Facebook page, and an active Parents and Citizens Association.
