历史

Established as Sydney High School in 1883, the school grounds were originally located on Elizabeth Street in the Sydney central business district,where the David Jones store now stands. At the time, the school building was two storeys, blocked off by a high wall.The ground floor was occupied by male students, while the females occupied the first floor. This was usual in the 1800s.

Because of high levels of noise pollution from transport and other activities, the boys‘ school moved to a different location, followed by the girls’ school, which became Sydney Girls High School.The two adjacent streets, Anzac Parade and Cleveland Street, are both large and busy roads that still make classrooms noisy from time to time.

In 1921, SGHS moved to the former Sydney Zoo (now Taronga Zoo in Mosman, New South Wales) site, which was formerly known as the “Billy Goat Swamp”. It is opposite Moore Park, Fox Studios, and the Sydney Cricket Ground.The new building incorporated many modern features, provided large areas of greenery and was quieter. The bear pit from Sydney Zoo still stands within the schools‘ “Lowers” grass area, shared with Sydney Boys’ “the Flat”.SGHS students supported the war effort on the home front in both World War I and World War II by organising care packages and knitting socks and other clothing items for the soldiers on the front.

In April 1999, a severe hailstorm in Sydney caused significant damage to the school grounds, destroying areas of the roof and causing water leakage into many of the classrooms.This storm also destroyed much of the obsolete computer technology and paved the way for a large base of new technology throughout the school.
