Categories: New South Wales, Schools | Darlinghurst, New South Wales
Founded by an Act of Parliament in 1854 Sydney Grammar School was officially opened in 1857. Its ancestor, the Sydney Public Free Grammar School, opened in 1825 with LH Halloran as Headmaster. In 1830, Sydney College was founded. Sir Francis Forbes, Chief Justice, became President of the College and laid the foundation stone of the present building in College Street on the 26th January 1830. In 1835 Sydney College opened in this building with WT Cape as Headmaster. In 1842 he resigned and was succeeded by TH Braim. In 1850 Sydney College was closed. The re-founded school commenced in 1857, in the College Street buildings which had been occupied immediately before this by the University of Sydney. Since its foundation, the school and its old boys (called ‘Old Sydneians’) have played an important part in the history of this country.
