School Life and Admissions
The Conservatorium High School is staffed and administered by the New South Wales Department of Education and Training (DET). Instrumental tuition, chamber music programs and individual composition lessons are provided to the students by Sydney University lecturers and tutors. In the course of their studies, high school students are provided with many of the same privileges as the tertiary students, including free admission to Conservatorium concerts and master classes.
Admission is through a highly competitive process of audition and interview that assesses the applicant's potential as well as current level of achievement. Prospective students must also pass the NSW Selective School tests. Auditions are held each year in July/August/September.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or life:
“Green, green is El Aghir. It has a railway station,
And the wealth of its soil has borne many another fruit:
A mairie, a school and an elegant Salle de Fetes.
Such blessings, as I remarked, in effect, to the waiter,
Are added unto them that have plenty of water.”
—Norman Cameron (b. 1905)
“for a second
Wives saw men of the explosion
Larger than in life they managed—
Gold as on a coin, or walking
Somehow from the sun towards them,”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1985)
