The state move in NSW is to have senior coed colleges. The Catholic sytemic move is to 7-123 Co-Ed. No one is moving to single sex. Interesting isn't it given the ed data supports single sex outcomes at the end of school exams. Its also worth having a look at http://www.boysforward.com . Its a web site run by a good boysed advocate Ian Lillico. Theres also some good books around- look for Dr. Peter West, Dr. Tim Hawkes as good starters. Peter West can be contacted at the University of Western Sydney and Tim Hawkes is Headmaster of the Kings School at Parramatta. Cheers, Chris
