是不是top10的精英中学都排名？ngshs没有排。

BH好象也不排.

关于SBH：

1。校车，大部队从central火车站乘校车，同一个校巴号码，但有很多车次，装满就走，与SGH共享，为男女学生提供艳遇机会。

2。每个人都知道精英中学里，SBH最重视体育，其实SBH也特别重视音乐。SBH有一堆的乐队：交响乐队，打击乐队，吉他队，铜管乐队（分初级，中级，高级），stage band, 铉乐队等，学校鼓励所有学乐器的学生参加乐队。我家大儿今年参加了三个乐队。二儿参加一个。

3。运动项目有很多种类：击剑，射击，水球，帆船算是比较特殊的项目，精英中学中提供这几项的寥寥无几，其他常见运动就更不用说了。不喜欢运动的男孩，可参加射击，击剑，帆船这种不需要什么体力的项目。我家俩儿每年参加两个学期的帆船，另两个学期参加击剑。

4。排名：7到9年级的排名是全年级综合排名，一年两次，校长亲自接见每个学生，亲手将成绩报告发给每个学生，跟他们聊聊，同时也告诉他们他们的综合排名是多少。综合排名的好处是，体育，音乐，ARTS全算进去，数理化不好，体育/音乐/ARTS好也行啊。

我个人觉得压力不是很大，因为我觉得能混个中间上下就不错了，毕竟是个HSC排名很高的学校。从10年级开始，排名变成分科目排名，而且排名会被写入成绩报告里，家长可以一目了然。

5。不知道别家孩子，我家孩子今年10年级了，几乎没有在放学后在city闲逛后。我想闲逛的肯定有，跟交的什么样的朋友有关，其他学校也一样。

我只知道SBH的情况，但我相信NSBH也是非常棒的学校。如果是我，我会两间都报上，不是有四个报名名额么，千万别浪费了。

待 year 8 才挑选1-2个合适的语言学.

谢谢加分!

Outdoor Education Program
Over his six years at North Sydney Boys each student attends five outdoor education camps. Through the camp education program the boys gain new found confidence as they conquer challenges, enjoy new experiences and strengthen friendships formed at school.
The first camp is held early in Year 7 where new friendships form and a special bond begins, that often lasts through their six years and beyond. The Year 11 Peer Support Leaders attend this camp so that a support network for our new students is developed.
In Years 8, 9 and 10 the camps continue to promote personal development and teamwork. They focus on improving each boy’s self-reliance, confidence and interpersonal skills through a range of challenging outdoor experiences such as abseiling, mountain biking, camping, water activities and more.
The final camp is in Year 11 and is held at Jindabyne where the boys ski and snowboard. We are joined by the students from Burwood Girls High School, giving the boys the chance to forge new friendships, many of which continue beyond the camp. It is a great experience for the boys before the demands of Year 12 begin and is always a highlight of their days at North Sydney Boys.

家庭作业：Homework
Homework is an important element to study at North Sydney Boys. It assists in the consolidation and revision of work done during the day. Boys will also be given assignments to be planned and completed over a set period of time.
Homework at North Sydney Boys is not about the quantity of homework set but rather the quality of the task set and the expected standard of work returned. We want our boys to enjoy a healthy balance between school work and their interests, and expect that they will be involved in co-curricular and community based activities. Hours of homework you could expect at North Sydney Boys:
Years          Hours per night

当时挑学校，我自己是一心想小K学中文的，而且我们去central的火车班次比去North Sydney的多，所以我们的最好选择就是SBH了，我对他的要求不高，以后会说就行。不纠结中文的家长，对于这两个学校，我的建议是就近上学。
