Sydney Church of England Grammar School

Educating young people and helping them develop for the future is a wonderful responsibility and privilege.Shore has been committed to the education and nurture of generations of curious minds since the School began in 1889.

Our priority is, and has always been, delivering the utmost excellence in teaching and learning, and the character development of the students in our care.At Shore, we provide exceptionally well-qualified staff, world-class facilities and a wide range of sporting and co-curricular activities.

We want our students to be inclusive, invitational, relevant and thoughtful and to achieve their goals both here at Shore, and in life beyond the School gates. We invite them to examine Christian faith as they determine their own world views and life trajectory. Our focus is on developing their minds and hearts, helping them become successful young adults and responsible citizens

Shore honours and respects its traditions and its past, whilst also evolving to focus on the future, as one of Australia’s leading comprehensive schools.The School's Charter provided for the erection of "A school of the highest type, including departments of education for all classes of the community, in which the teaching shall be throughout in accordance with the principles of the Church of England, and which shall be placed under the direction of a governing body of clergy and laity to be elected by the Synod, the Bishop of the Diocese being ex-officio President". The Act also provided that the compensation moneys should be paid to that Council, to be applied in the establishment and maintenance of the School.

The School is registered and accredited to present students for both the Record of School Achievement and the Higher School Certificate. The HSC provides a certificate to mark the end of secondary education as well as the qualification for entry to universities. A high proportion of Shore boys undertake university courses while others enter the business world, trades, armed services and some return to the rural sector.
