About this school, from public sources
Public online sources describe Richmond Agricultural Centre as a partially selective NSW secondary school co-located with Western Sydney University's Hawkesbury campus, delivering transdisciplinary AgSTEM programs across agriculture, aquaculture, sustainability, and First Nations knowledges. Operating in partnership with Richmond High School, students split time between the two campuses, gaining access to industry, research, and TAFE connections. The school's own materials emphasise practical, design-thinking-based learning and pathways into university, TAFE, and agribusiness employment, alongside an inclusive, mentorship-focused community culture.
Often praised
- Specialist AgSTEM/agriculture programs

HSC 2025
Counts are derived from NESA's published merit lists and exclude students who opted out of publication. The per-student figure divides each year's count by that year's Year 12 enrolment from ACARA's August census, so it is approximate. NSW law does not permit ranking schools by results, so no rank or percentile is shown.
