NSW school divisions

The Eastern division of New South Wales is one of the two school divisions of New South Wales.

The Eastern Division schools generally return to school one week earlier than their Western Division counterparts. This is historical and could be due to the higher temperatures experienced in the Western Suburbs during that time of year. In addition, there is reference to the division of NSW in the Teachers Salaries and Conditions Award with respect to Climatic Disability.

There is no known map. A source describe the line of division:

...upon or to the west of a line starting from a point on the right bank of the Murray River opposite Swan Hill (Victoria), and thence by straight lines passing through the following towns or localities in the order stated, viz., Conargo, Coleambally, Hay, Rankins Springs, Marsden, Condobolin, Peak Hill, Nevertire, Gulargambone, Coonabarabran, Wee Waa, Moree, Warialda, Ashford and Bonshaw
