Sydney Girls High School (abbreviated as SGHS or Sydney Girls) is a government-funded single-sex academically selective secondary day school located at Moore Park, in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Established in 1883 and operated by the New South Wales Department of Education and Communities, as a school within the Port Jackson Education Area of the Sydney Region,[2] the school has approximately 940 students from Years 7 to 12.[1]

History

Sydney Girls High School was originally a division of Sydney High School in 1883. The building had two storeys walled off,[3] with male occupancy on the first floor, and female occupancy on the second.[3] The founding head mistress was Miss Lucy Wheatley-Walker (later Mrs Lucy Garvin). She was a recent English emigrant.[4]

Because of high noise pollution from transport and other activities, female operations relocated to a different location and established modern-day Sydney Girls High School.[3] The male division became Sydney Boys High School The two adjacent streets, Anzac Parade and Cleveland Street, are both large and busy roads that make classrooms noisy from time to time.[5][6][7]

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.[3] The new building incorporated many modern features, provided large areas of greenery and was quieter. The bear pit from Sydney Zoo still stand between the paddock between Sydney Boys High School and Sydney Girls High School. Notably, another bear pit lies near the canteen area in Sydney Boys High School and has been designated a prefect workspace.[3] 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.[8]

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.[9][10][11]

Academics

Enrolments

The Year 7 intake is of 150 students,[1] on the basis of academic merit, as assessed by the Selective High School Placement Test.[1]

In Years 7 to 10, the cohorts consist of 150 students each year;[1] in Years 11 to 12, however, the cohorts consist of up to 180 students each year.[1]

Grounds, buildings, and facilities

Margaret Varady Rowing Facility

Since 1987, the SGHS Rowing Club has shared space with the UNSW Rowing Club and operated its rowing activities using the UNSW boatshed at Tarban Creek, near the Tarban Creek Bridge, Gladesville at Huntleys Point, New South Wales. Her Excellency, Professor Marie Bashir AC, CVO, Governor of NSW formally opened the new boatshed on 28 June 2009.

The SGHS section of the boatshed was named the Margaret Varady Rowing Facility in honour of the contribution made by the former principal Margaret Varady towards schoolgirl rowing,[14] including having been instrumental in securing the land and funding to build the boatshed.[15][16]

Ethel Turner Memorial Library

The Ethel Turner Memorial Library, named in honour of the novelist Ethel Turner who was in the first enrolment in 1883, includes a senior study area and expandable seminar rooms. The Library is also a prime presentation space with data projection, video conferencing and Virtual Reality headsets. Within the Library precincts are non-fiction and fiction books, graphic novels, books in foreign languages to assist in LOTE study, and the school Archives.[17]

Co- and extracurricular activities

Debating and public speaking

SGHS has an extensive debating tradition, and all students are provided the opportunity to develop their skills through weekly coaching and debating or speaking sessions, both social and competitive.[18] SGHS competes in Combined High Schools (CHS) debating competitions and regularly has social debates with other schools, including its brother school, Sydney Boys High School; Sydney Grammar School; the Scots College; and St. Joseph's College, Hunters Hill. [citation needed]

In 2004, 2005, 2016 and 2022 SGHS won the Hume Barbour Trophy for the Premier's Debating Challenge.[19][20] In 2010, SGHS won the Sydney University Senior Debating Cup and the Eastside Debating Competition.[21] In 2012, 2013, 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2020 SGHS won the Karl Cramp Trophy for the Year 11 Premier's Debating Challenge.[22][23] In 2010 and 2014, SGHS students won the Plain English Speaking Award.[23]

The SGHS Rowing Club (SGHSRC) competes in competitions including the Schoolgirl Head of the River, the Riverview Gold Cup and the NSW Combined High Schools Regatta and has had successes in these competitions. The SGHSRC also hosts and competes in its own regatta, the schoolgirl SGHS Regatta, held at Iron Cove in late November each year.[26] Many girls also win NSWCHSSA Blues for their achievements in rowing.[27]

At the inaugural Schoolgirl Head of the River Regatta in 1991, the SGHSRC won the overall point score, as well as winning the races for the eight, the coxless quad scull, the coxless pair, the novice four and the coxed four; with the Senior 1st IV. The eight also won in the 1991 Head of Parramatta.[28] The SGHS eight won the Schoolgirl Head of the River in 1992 and 1994, when it was held at Iron Cove.[29][30]

In 2006 and 2007 the Senior 1st IV won the Schoolgirl Head of the River. In 2011 the Senior 1st IV can second in the Schoolgirl Head of the River.[31] The rowing club also won the overall point score at the 2014 NSW CHS Regatta.[32] In the 2015 Head of Parramatta, the coxed quad sculls won first and second place in the schoolgirl quad race.[33]

Performing arts

SGHS has several dance groups, drama ensembles, and music groups, and a student-run Technical Company that oversees lighting and sound for school assemblies and performances. Annually, the Year 11 drama class put on a major production, which in 2009 was the Pulitzer-winning play Harvey. The school has an annual musicale and Christmas concert, which showcase the musical and dancing talent of students. SGHS also hosts a biennial musical co-production with Sydney Boys High, which in 2015 was the Tony Award winning Guys and Dolls.

With regards to drama, there are junior and senior co-curricular Drama Ensembles, an annual Shakespeare Festival in which students perform Shakespeare excerpts, and a "7/10 Director's Project" where Year 10 Drama students direct 10-minute plays starring Year 7 students.[34] Further, SGHS is a serious contender in the annual Schools Theatresports Competition, their senior team achieving 2nd place and their junior team achieving 3rd place in the 2009 grand finals.

SGHS has a wide range of musical ensembles and bands, including:[35]

Many Year 12 SGHS students are invited to perform at the HSC Showcases onSTAGE and Encore.[36]

Philanthropy

To support Oxfam, SGHS hosts an annual charity fundraiser. For each try scored during a touch football game played between Year 11 and Year 12 girls, ten dollars is donated to the charity.

Further, SGHS has been a large contributor to Stewart House, which has recognised the school's efforts with a Roy Reidy Trophy as the top contributor for the 16th year in a row.[21] In 2011 the school was awarded the Norman B Ridge Red Cross Shield for collecting the largest amount of money for the Red Cross Calling.[21] The Year Groups of 8, 9, and 10 each go out in the CBD and collect money for charities, with Year 8 collecting for Jeans for Genes Day, Year 9 collecting for the Cancer Council Daffodil Day, and Year 10 collecting for the Red Cross Calling and Legacy.[37]

SGHS publishes an Imagizine, a compilation of student-submitted poetry, short stories, and artworks; the proceeds from which are donated to the Black Dog Institute. The body behind Imagizine meets every Thursday and is open to all current SGHS students.

SGHS also has Knitting in Company and Environment Group. Knitting in Company is an activity held after school, during which students knit blankets that are then donated to Wrap with Love, a charity that provides blankets to people who are susceptible to hypothermia. Environment Group involves weekly meetings during which students tend to the school's vegetable gardens and discuss environmental issues. The Environment Group is also responsible for promoting the annual Green Day.

The school also has a Social Justice Club that meets weekly and takes on a new social justice project each term – past projects include LGBT rights, mental illness awareness, refugee aid, and global women's rights.

Other opportunities

Like many Australian schools, SGHS encourages students to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, offering a school-organised hike to Year 9 students for the Expedition component of the award.[38] SGHS also offers the High Resolves Global Leadership program to Year 9 and 10 students.[13] In addition, SGHS participates in numerous academic competitions including the Da Vinci Decathlon and Tournament of Minds.[39] In the 2013 'Race Around the Renaissance' Da Vinci Decathlon, SGHS came first.[40] In the 2015 Tournament of Minds, SGHS won the Maths & Engineering division, and gained honours in the Social Sciences division.[41][42]

With regards to overseas tours, students are often offered the opportunity to travel to China, France, Japan, Germany, and Italy. This is often for LOTE or ancient history study. There is also a student exchange program set up with Beijing Normal High School in China, The Lycée Paul Cézanne in France, and the Konan Girls High School in Japan.[43][44]

There is also a SGHS cadet program at Sydney Boys High School.[45]

School traditions

Leadership

Each year, a team of Year 12 prefects are elected by the student body (excluding Year 7). The prefect executive is made up of the school captain, vice captain, senior prefect, welfare captain, and Student Representative Council (SRC) captain. There are also Prefects for each grade as well as for interest areas such as Sport, Welfare, Public Relations, Co-curricular, Community Service and CAPA.[46] The SRC is made up of elected representatives from each grade from Years 7 to 11. The SRC duties include welcoming school visitors at events, leading and facilitating fundraising events, helping at the school canteen, and organising the annual Junior Dance that is open to SGHS and SBHS students Years 7 to 9.[47] There is also a Leadership Award Program in which students fulfil criteria based on academic achievement, sport participation, co-curricular achievement, and community service. There are bronze, silver, gold, and school medal levels to the Program.[48]

Additionally, there is a Peer Support Program where Year 10 students work with Year 7 students to help them get to know the school and become leaders within the school community.[49] New students are allocated a buddy in their class who provides practical assistance and advice about the school.[50]

Houses

As with most Australian schools, SGHS utilises a house system. Students are allocated to a house when they enter the school according to Technology classes. There are four different houses under which students compete for the Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country Carnivals:[8]
