About North Sydney Boys
North Sydney Boys High School is a selective-entry government school for boys located in Crows Nest on Sydney's lower North Shore. The school consistently achieves excellent HSC results and is one of the most popular selective schools in NSW. It offers a rigorous academic program alongside strong sporting and co-curricular opportunities. Year 7 entry is through the Edutest-administered Selective High School Placement Test. Students can also apply for Year 8-11 transfer entry via a shared Edutest exam with James Ruse, Baulkham Hills, North Sydney Girls, and Sydney Girls — students sit the exam once to be considered for all participating schools.
