Gosford High School (abbreviated as GHS) is a government-funded co-educational academically selective secondary day school, located in Gosford, in the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. Established in 1928, the school enrolled approximately 1,070 students in 2018, from Year 7 to Year 12, of whom two percent identified as Indigenous Australians and forty percent were from a language background other than English.

History Gosford High School, operated by the New South Wales Department of Education, was established in 1928, the first secondary school in the Central Coast region, and became a selective high school in 1989. The original building was completed in 1929, and consisted of seven classrooms, one science laboratory and an assembly room. Students at the school primarily come from the Central Coast region, though students from the Sydney and Lake Macquarie regions comprise a significant portion of the population. , Gosford High was the only fully selective school on the Central Coast, making admission very competitive. Motto The school's Latin motto is spectemur agendo, which is conventionally translated into English as "Judge me by what I do." Other translations include Let us be judged by our acts and By our deeds may we be known (this translation is preferred by Camberwell Grammar School in Melbourne, which shares the same motto).
