Homebush Boys High School
Homebush Boys High School strives for excellence and equity in the education and development of young men. This ethos is reflected in the school motto, Recte et Fortiter, upright and strong. Homebush Boys High School is a comprehensive community school for boys with a reputation for excellence in academic pursuits, a range of sports and many extra-curricular activities. Founded in 1936, it is located in the inner western suburbs of Sydney in a well established residential area. We are highly multicultural in nature, with an enrolment of around 1150 students, comprising over 86% of students with a language background other than English. More than 50 cultural and language backgrounds are represented in our school population. Our school staff of over 90 teachers is experienced and committed to engaging boys in meaningful learning experiences. Strong HSC results and outstanding growth rates in NAPLAN in reading and numeracy characterise academic outcomes. The majority of graduates gain university placements in a variety of courses predominantly in the Sydney metropolitan area. Student wellbeing initiatives focus on ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment and a sense of belonging to the school community and the wider community. Our students actively engage in a variety of community activities in many areas of our community. The school is an active partner in the Homebush-Strathfield Learning Community.
We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
