NSW says there are no set minimum entry scores, for any school. NSW does not give out test scores or placement ranks. Any "cut-off" you see for Fort Street High School is not an official NSW figure.
150 for 2027 entry: 75 boys and 75 girls. These are the places in the intake, not vacancies. Across NSW there are 4,338 selective Year 7 places, including 90 at Aurora College.
Putting a school first gives no extra advantage in the merit order. You get at most one first-round offer: for the highest school on your list that you qualify for. So list up to 3 schools in the order you really prefer them.
There is no attendance fee at a selective high school. Schools can still ask for payments for resources, excursions and sport, and boarding is charged separately.
