SHORE – Sydney Church of England Grammar School, Anglican grammar school in Sydney, Australia
SHORE - Sydney Church of England Grammar School is a boys' school with two campuses in North Sydney and Northbridge. The larger North Sydney campus has classrooms, sports fields, and a chapel built in 1915, while the Northbridge site serves younger students and includes additional sports grounds.
The school was founded in 1889 after St James School closed in 1886, with Bishop Alfred Barry establishing it on land once owned by a gold prospector. The name changed in the 1990s to reflect its North Shore location and to avoid confusion with other schools.
The name reflects the school's location on Sydney's North Shore, making it distinctive among local institutions. Anglican values shape daily school life through the chapel and community gatherings that bring students and families together.
The school operates across two separate locations, each with its own entry points and facilities for visiting events. Visitors should contact reception to arrange tours or attend events, especially during major school gatherings or alumni reunions.
The rowing boathouse on the Parramatta River at Gladesville has been part of school tradition since the late 1800s and ranks among Sydney's oldest school rowing programs. Students train on a historic river stretch, connecting the school to water sports in an unusual way for an inner-city institution.
