Dear Parents and Caregivers,
I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to you from Canterbury Boys High School, a place where excellence in education and a rich history converge to create an outstanding learning environment. As Principal, I am immensely proud of our recent achievements and the continued growth of our school community.
In 2023, Canterbury Boys High School was honoured as a finalist in the Australian Educational Awards Secondary School of the Year, a testament to our commitment to academic excellence and holistic development. Our HSC results soared to a thirteen-year high, underscoring our dedication to nurturing each student's potential. Moreover, our consistent outperformance in NAPLAN results in Reading and Numeracy over local and state averages reflects our rigorous academic standards.
Beyond academics, Canterbury Boys High School is becoming synonymous with chess excellence in the Inner West. We host various competitions throughout the year and organise a chess camp in rural NSW, enriching the educational experience for our passionate chess players.
Our Enrichment Program stands as a beacon of innovation, recognised with a nomination for the prestigious NSW Department of Education Secretary's Award. This program, tailored for high-potential students from Year 7 to Year 12, embodies our proactive approach to nurturing talent and fostering academic excellence.
Music also thrives at Canterbury Boys High School, with our stage band performing at various events throughout the year. Supported by dedicated tutors, our musicians exemplify our commitment to artistic expression and cultural enrichment.
Moreover, we are proud to uphold inclusivity and acceptance through initiatives like our CBHS Pride team and events such as Wear it Purple Day, affirming our school as a leader in promoting diversity within our community.
Our partnerships with NSW AFL and the Inner West Magpies highlight our dedication to sports and community engagement. We look forward to hosting the Inner West Magpies junior teams at our school, reinforcing our commitment to making our facilities a hub of community activities.
At Canterbury Boys High School, we aim to prepare our students not just for their academic journey but for life beyond our gates. Our commitment to critical thinking, creativity, innovation, and collaboration ensures that every student is equipped for the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
I invite you to explore Canterbury Boys High School firsthand.
