How entry works
Year 7 entry to Leppington High runs through the statewide NSW Selective High School Placement Test, sat in Year 6. There is no separate school exam and no catchment for selective places — you nominate the school among your preferences, and offers are made from a single statewide placement score. The steps and deadlines are in our application walkthrough.
About one applicant in four receives a selective place across the state. A miss says very little about a capable child — with roughly four applicants for every place, the maths alone means most well-prepared children miss out, and are fine.
Later years: The school opens with its first Year 7 cohort; later-year selective entry arrangements are not yet published, as the school is not yet operating.
The last-published entry score — read this honestly
The Department has never published a per-school minimum entry score for Leppington High School. A new school that opens after the last published-score year, so it has no historical minimum entry score.
So any "cut-off" quoted for it is an estimate, not an official figure — and under the current test, no official per-school cut-offs exist for any school at all.
Where these figures come from, why the Department stopped publishing them, and how to sanity-check any number you read: our cut-off scores guide.
