This is a list of schools in the Hunter and Central Coast regions of New South Wales, Australia.
The New South Wales education system traditionally consists of primary schools, which accommodate students from Kindergarten to Year 6 (ages 5–12), and high schools, which accommodate students from Years 7 to 12 (ages 12–18).
In New South Wales, a high school generally covers Years 7 to 12 in the education system, and a central or community school, intended to provide comprehensive education in a rural district, covers Kindergarten to Year 12.
An additional class of high schools has emerged in recent years as a result of amalgamations which have produced multi-campus colleges consisting of Junior and Senior campuses.
As a result of a lack of resources and funding into inclusive education, some children are pushed into segregated settings through no fault of their own or their parents or school staff.
