Sydney Boys High School ('SBHS'), otherwise known as Sydney High School ('SHS') or simply High, is an Australian government-funded single-sex academically selective secondary day school for boys, located at Moore Park, New South Wales, a suburb within the City of Sydney council.
Sydney Boys High was established in 1883 and is operated by the New South Wales Department of Education as a school within the Port Jackson Education Area of the Sydney Region.[2] The school hosts approximately 1,200 students from Year 7 to Year 12 — a number greater than most other selective state schools[3] — and is situated adjacent to its sister school, Sydney Girls' High School. The school is a member of the Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales (AAGPS).[4]
The school was moved to its current site at Moore Park in 1928. The school is bounded by Moore Park (West), Anzac Parade, Sydney Girls High School and Cleveland Street.
The school regularly ranks within the top ten in New South Wales in terms of academic achievement, ranking 5th in the state in the 2017 Higher School Certificate (HSC),[5] and has produced numerous notable alumni - "Old Boys".[6]
