Are there good primary and secondary schools in the area?

Bowral–Mittagong offers a mix of government and independent schools covering primary through secondary levels. Government schools are well‑established, with enrolment zones based on residence, and provide a standard curriculum. Independent schools often have smaller class sizes and additional extracurricular programs. Both sectors are overseen by the state education department, which publishes school performance data and inspection reports. To compare options, visit the department’s school finder tool, review the latest NAPLAN results, and attend open days advertised on the council’s community events calendar.
