Sydney Boys High School (or The Sydney High School, Sydney High; abbreviated as SBHS or SHS) is an academically selective public high school for boys located at Moore Park, New South Wales, a suburb within the City of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Established in 1883 and operated by the New South Wales Department of Education, as a school within the Port Jackson Education Area of the Sydney Region,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our Schools - Sydney Region Public Schools )〕 the school has approximately 1,200 students from Years 7 to 12 — a number greater than most, if not all, other selective state schools〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2012 Top Public High Schools in Sydney )〕 — and is situated adjacent to its "sister school", Sydney Girls High School. The school is a member of the Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales (AAGPS). The school regularly ranks highly among schools in New South Wales in terms of academic achievement, ranking 4th in the state in the 2011 Higher School Certificate, and has produced numerous notable alumni, or "Old Boys". ==History== Although Fort Street High School was established in 1849, Sydney Boys High School is the first state high school in New South Wales created under Premier Henry Parkes' public education system in the early 1880s, following the ''Public Instruction Act 1880 (NSW)''.〔Waugh, Joseph W. (2008.) ''Sydney Boys' High School: the foundation years 1883–1891'', Sydney High School Old Boys' Union, Darlinghurst, Australia.〕 Whereas Fort Street Model School as it was founded took primary and secondary students neither Sydney Boys nor Sydney Girls High School has ever had a primary education division and are thus the first NSW state high schools founded for the express purpose of secondary education.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sydney Boys and Girls High Schools )〕 Alternatively known as The Sydney High School, due to its being the first state high school, Sydney High School was established as two single-sex schools sharing a single building, with boys and girls on separate floors.〔 The first day of instruction, for 46 boys, was October 1, 1883 and was at a building located in Castlereagh Street in the Sydney central business district, which was designed by Francis Greenway and constructed by convicts.〔 From 1883 to 1892, Sydney Boys occupied the lower floor and entered from the Castlereagh Street side of the building, whereas Sydney Girls occupied the upper floor and entered from the Elizabeth Street side.〔 In 1924, this building would be demolished and both schools would, in 1921, have relocated to Moore Park.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sydney Girls' High School, Castlereagh Street Side, March 1922 )〕 Presently, this site is home to the Elizabeth Street store of David Jones. In 1892, the boys' school was relocated to Mary Ann Street in Ultimo.〔Theobald, Marjorie R. (1996.) ''Knowing Women: Origins of Women's Education in Nineteenth-Century Australia'', Cambridge University Press, p. 114.〕 In 1906, Sydney Boys High School became a member of the Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales (AAGPS or GPS).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sport - Sydney Boys High School )〕(The term "public school" here has the meaning as used in the United Kingdom; that is, a private school.) It is the sporting association's only state-operated member. In 1928, the school moved to its current location at Moore Park, on the fringe of inner-city Sydney.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History - Sydney Boys High School )〕 This site was designed by George McRae, who also designed the Queen Victoria Building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Today in History - April 4 )〕 This site was previously the Moore Park Zoo, which was relocated to Mosman as Taronga Zoo.,〔(adb online )〕 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「Sydney Boys High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
