About Grammar

It is very exciting to be leading Grammar at this time, and a genuine privilege to be entrusted with the education of some of the brightest and most impressive young men in the country.

Sydney Grammar School is one of the oldest schools in Australia. Its ancestor, the Sydney Public Free Grammar School, opened in 1825 with LH Halloran as Headmaster.

Each day boys travel to Grammar from all over Sydney—as they have done since the 1850s. Travelling to the city each day teaches boys independence and confidence and exposes them to life beyond their local suburb.
