FunThinkers estimateModelled by FunThinkers from Baulkham Hills's place in the Matrix Education 2025 rankings of 2025 HSC results. Not based on NSW Department of Education data, and not an official cut-off.
Updated 17 Oct 2026
How this works. This number comes from FunThinkers' own model, not from a published formula or official data. We take the school's place in a public ranking of HSC results, which includes all kinds of NSW schools, selective and non-selective, public and private. We then spread those places along a bell curve that runs from about 75 to about 107 out of 120. That range is our own choice, roughly matching older estimated cut-offs. Use it as a rough guide only.
