New co-educational high school from 2026

Following the announcement on 12 November, James Cook Boys Technology High School and Moorefield Girls High School will transition to a new co-educational high school from Term 1 2026. 

Extensive community consultation in the surrounding school communities, found co-education was preferred by the majority of those surveyed with support particularly strong from local primary school parents and students. 

An increase in the student population at a co-educational school will expand the range of courses and extra-curricular activities for students, enhancing their post-school pathways and career options. We will provide regular updates on the progress of the project here and through the school newsletter.
