Founded in 1889, Shore is an Anglican independent day and boarding school for boys in Years 3 – 12 located in North Sydney, with a Kindergarten to Year 2 facility and Early Learning Centre at Northbridge for both boys and girls. The School’s extensive playing fields are located at Northbridge.

Shore’s dynamic tradition is founded on authentic and transformative Christian faith, with emphases on engaged rigour in academic work; relational service of others; growth in character; and personal best in sport and co-curricular activities. With this as its foundation, and within the terms of its charter, Shore seeks to be the leading comprehensive school in Australia.

Shore therefore fosters a learning community for its students and staff which:

• Promotes a Christian understanding of the world and society in which we live;

• Pursues and celebrates academic performance in a culture of learning and thinking;

• Challenges all to be responsible citizens with an attitude of service to others;

• Welcomes new experience and learning at all stages of life;

• Lives according to the Christ-like virtues of humility, perseverance, courage and love of others; and

• Develops individual gifts and talents and cultivates the habits of successful team membership.

Shore encourages academic excellence and high individual achievement through its broadly-based curriculum and co-curricular programme. In its pastoral care and student welfare programs, Shore expresses its commitment to accomplishing its Christian mission and service in the tradition of the Diocese of Sydney in the Anglican Church of Australia.

Facilities

The school is built on a eight hectare property in North Sydney with views of the Harbour and the City of Sydney. Facilities include classroom blocks, a physical education centre, administrative offices, a library, information technology centre, lecture theatres, chapel, a 500-seat auditorium and an assembly hall. Nearby are four boarding houses and a central dining hall. The 3-6 Preparatory School is based on an adjoining property and was upgraded with new classrooms in 2006.

In the School’s 130 year history, Shore has always recognised the link between physical activity and academic excellence.

The School's main sports facility is at Northbridge, five kilometres to the north where the School bought 9 hectares of land in 1916. This now has one of the finest ovals in Sydney and five other full-sized ovals, as well as a state of the art indoor cricket centre, tennis courts, pavilions and dressing rooms. Northbridge is an integral part of life at Shore with our community gathering to enjoy supporting the boys in their sports programme every week. This campus also includes classrooms for kindergarten to Year 2, and an early learning centre. The school also has a rowing centre on the Parramatta river at Gladesville.

The RAI Grant Centre at the North Sydney Campus includes an indoor 50m pool with 8 lanes, and a Multi-Purpose Sports Complex with basketball courts, tiered seating, gymnastics and weights rooms as well as 11 new, dynamic and flexible learning spaces and seminar rooms adjacent to new open spaces and courtyards
