Sydney Catholic Schools says the merger of two schools will help address the demand for co-ed options in the inner west | JordsBaker
More single-sex Sydney schools are becoming co-educational, with boys’ college De La Salle in Ashfield set to merge with an adjacent girls’ school, Bethlehem College.
Sydney has an unusually high number of boys and girls-only schools, particularly in its public system, where there are 34 single-sex catchments. Many of the city’s sandstone private schools are also single-sex, particularly in the eastern and inner western suburbs and on the north shore. This would be the fourth new co-educational school created by Sydney Catholic Schools in the past decade. However, it would be the first merger, with the other three - including Marist Penshurst and Champangat in Pagewood - having been all-boys’ schools that opened their gates to girls.
At Marist North Sydney, the transition involved giving staff gender bias training and modifying facilities. ′ into a co-ed school while keeping Randwick Girls single-sex, but the idea was rejected by the NSW Department of Education.
