Position Information

Sydney Technical High School is an academically selective school for boys with a current enrolment of 905 students. Entry is on merit through the NSW selective schools test prior to Year 7. We pride ourselves on an academically rigorous setting and 100% of our HSC graduates attend university. Despite these outstanding results, our school is committed to pursuing continual improvement in all of our students' literacy and numeracy competencies as we know how crucial they are to learning and indeed, throughout life.

Students have a strong sense of belonging with retention rates of approximately 98% or higher and proudly represent many cultural backgrounds - 94% of students are from a non-English speaking background. The school reflects a strong sense of inclusion and civic responsibility, developing the engagement and mature relationships that build leadership and social capital. Sydney Technical High School has a close relationship with parents/carers and a community highly invested in the wellbeing and achievement of their sons. Wellbeing, including the physical, emotional and psychological development of young men, plays a central role in the school's culture and goals. To meet the unique needs of gifted and high potential boys there is an emphasis placed on higher-level learning across a broad curriculum that integrates with a range of enriching co-curricular activities. Sydney Technical High School is steeped in a long and proud tradition and its students continue to conspicuously serve the community across a wide range of aspirational vocations.
