How do you research Barker College? Treat this page as orientation. Barker College is listed as a co-ed boarding campus at Hornsby in NSW, with a published Anglican affiliation. Founded year, year levels and the official website below are public facts we could verify at the time of writing. Houses open, pause and change year levels — ask admissions whether the house still boards the year you need.
What this listing is not: a league table, a fee quote, or a promise that a place exists. Sibling campuses with similar names in other states are different schools. Use the official website, then request this year’s boarding handbook and the current tuition-plus-boarding schedule. If the student would enrol from overseas, confirm CRICOS registration on the government register, not on this directory.
Barker College occupies a large campus at Hornsby, at the top of Sydney’s North Shore rail line. Founded in 1890 as an Anglican boys’ school, it later moved to co-education; boarding policy has evolved with that change. Check whether the house is currently co-ed, boys-only, or mixed by year.
Hornsby is metropolitan but not inner-city. Weekend leave, train access and the Pacific Highway matter as much as the chapel photograph. Rural NSW families have used Barker boarding for generations; so have some overseas families — CRICOS details belong on the official site.
