The remains - including what police described as part of a pelvis - underwent forensic testing after they were dug up at St Mary's College on Tuesday morning.
"The remains have since been determined not to be human," a NSW Police spokesperson told the Leader.
"No further police investigation will take place."
A crime scene was set up by local police after officers were called to the scene earlier this week.
Detectives combed the schoolyard for more clues.
