NSW girls' school won't ban gendered terms

Students at a leading Sydney girls' school will still be called girls.

The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday said teachers at Cheltenham Girls High had been requested to stop referring to their students as "girls", "ladies" and "women" in preference to gender neutral terms.

But the NSW Education Deptartment told AAP on Wednesday that "gender-specific terms will continue to be used by Cheltenham Girls High School when referring to students".
