Orange High School is a co-educational, secondary, public, day school located in Orange, a provincial city of New South Wales, Australia, 260 kilometres west of Sydney. Founded in 1912, the school was the first state secondary school to be established in western New South Wales, and is one of two government secondary schools located in the city of Orange, the other being Canobolas Rural Technology High School. Orange High School has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 1100 students from Years 7 to 12. It is a school of the New South Wales Department of Education and Training (DET), and prepares students for the School Certificate (Year 10), and the Higher School Certificate (Year 12). ==History== Founded in 1912, Orange High School was the first state secondary school to be established in western New South Wales. The school's first classes were held in the School of Arts building, now the site of the Police and Community Youth Club in Byng Street. The school then moved to purpose built facilities on the corner of March Street and Sale Street, which is now part of the TAFE complex.〔 Amongst the decisions made in the first year were for the school colours to be black and gold, the design of the school badge and the motto, ''"Quod Potero Sedulo"'' (translated from Latin as ''"Whatever I do, I shall do to the best of my ability"''). Students were housed at the March Street school from 1913 through until 1958, at which time the High School and Rural School were merged. The current school buildings, sited on Woodward Street near the western end of the main street, Summer Street, were opened on 13 November 1959. During the opening ceremony, the Principal, Mr O'Sullivan, stated that in 1913 the total number of students enrolled was 93 with 6 teachers on staff. Presently the school caters for just under 1100 students with 70 on the teaching staff.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orange High School (New South Wales)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
