Sydney Technical High School is an academically selective boys' high school with a multicultural student population living and learning in harmony. For many years it was one of only seven academically Selective High Schools within the N.S.W. Department of Education. The school enjoys an outstanding reputation for academic achievement with a Higher School Certificate history of students being regularly placed in the top ten places in the state in a variety of subjects. Over 80% of students achieve in the top 20% of the State, with a majority gaining a UAI over 90.
As a selective school a strong emphasis is placed on academic studies. However there is also a strong emphasis placed on student welfare. Students experience an environment where they are expected to apply themselves to their studies, and exhibit care, sensitivity and understanding in their relationships with each other. The multicultural nature of the school community is a key feature in developing tolerant men. The school is proud of the achievements of its young men who enter a wide range of professions and careers.
The school aims to develop students who:
- are creative and original thinkers;
- have a strong self concept and who are confident and self disciplined;
- are prepared for further education and lifelong learning; and
- have sound human values, are socially responsible, and are caring for others and their world.
The school believes that each student should be:
- an independent learner who understands and negotiates his learning;
- a researcher who takes responsibility for his own learning;
- a seeker of knowledge who strives to create new understandings;
- a student who learns for its relevance to his current and future life; and
- a student who takes joy in learning for its own sake.
Students are selected for entry to Sydney Technical High School. Entry into Year 7 is based on results from the Selective Schools Unit test, which evaluates performance in English writing and language, Mathematics and General Ability. In years 8 - 12 vacancies are filled by application with supporting documentation, interview and tests.
Sydney Technical High School continues a fine tradition of excellence in all areas of endeavour, fulfilling the school motto that "manners makyth man".
