Epping Boys High School

Epping Boys High School has an enrolment of over 1100 students and a highly positive reputation in the community. There is also a keen interest in the school from overseas students. Retention rates are high in the senior school. While Epping Boys High School has a strong academic emphasis, with most boys going on to study at university, the school also caters for other special educational and pre-vocational needs. From its beginnings, the School has enjoyed keen community support. The first headmaster, Mr McGregor, co-operated with the Parents and Citizens to double the area of the school to twenty-two acres and to landscape the grounds. Today we enjoy the facilities provided by the foresight of those who struggled to provide us with such a fine site. The P&C Association and School Auxiliary continue to provide significant financial support to the school and more importantly, an active forum for parent opinion. In 2007 Epping Boys High School celebrated its 50th anniversary. The Prime Minister of the day, Mr John Howard, opened the newly refurbished library and laid down a time capsule to be raised fifty years hence. The school hosted many old boys to an evening of reminiscing and fireworks. This was followed the next day by football matches - soccer and rugby. The school held musical items, debates and visual displays. In 2017 the school will be celebrating its 60th anniversary.
