Smith's Hill High School is the only academically selective school in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. To gain entry into the school, student's must obtain marks which place them in the top 120 Year 6 students applicants; in a state-set examination for entry into all Academically Selective High Schools in NSW. The successful students will then be offered a place to commence their time at the school in the following academic year. Those who are unsuccessful in the examination have the opportunity to re-sit a similar test each year (7-10) which ranks them on a waiting list, to enrol when a position becomes available. For Year 11, the school admits an additional 20 students, to complete Years 11 & 12 at the school, joining the 120 existing students in each cohort.
