Sydney Boys High School, Public selective school in Moore Park, Australia
Sydney Boys High School is a secondary school in Moore Park with extensive green spaces and sports facilities across its campus. The grounds include classroom buildings, laboratories, and various athletic areas used for daily learning and practice.
The school was established in 1883 under Premier Henry Parkes' public education reform and relocated to its current Moore Park site in 1928. This move represented a turning point, as the new location provided significantly better facilities for learning and athletics.
The school colors of chocolate brown and sky blue reflect institutional values, with the Latin motto 'Veritate et Virtute' standing for 'With Truth and Courage'. These emblems shape how the community sees itself and presents itself to others.
Entry to Year 7 is through a state-wide selective test, with additional places in Years 8-12 available via separate applications submitted in June. Access to the campus is restricted during school hours, so visitors should arrange visits in advance with the school office.
The school operates rowing facilities at the Outterside Centre in Abbotsford and sports grounds at McKay Sports Ground in Centennial Park. These separate venues allow for specialized training programs and expand athletic opportunities well beyond what the main campus alone could offer.
