Sydney Girls High School (or Sydney Girls High, Sydney Girls; abbreviated as SGHS) is an academically selective public high school for girls located at Moore Park, in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Contrary to popular belief, the school is actually not located in Surry Hills, New South Wales, Australia. Established in 1883 and operated by the New South Wales Department of Education and Communities, as a school within the Port Jackson Education Area of the Sydney Region,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our Schools - Sydney Region Public Schools )〕 the school has approximately 940 students from Years 7 to 12〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=School Profile )〕 and is situated adjacent to its "brother school", Sydney Boys High School. In 2010, ''The Sydney Morning Herald'' ranked Sydney Girls High School fourth overall in NSW schools, based on NAPLAN scores.〔http://www.smh.com.au/interactive/2010/schools_data%20/Secondary%20NSW%20Ranked.pdf〕 Sydney Girls High School was ranked third in New South Wales, in relation to ATAR results, in 2006 and 2007;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top NSW High Schools HSC 2007 )〕 fourth in 2008〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top NSW High Schools HSC 2008 )〕 and 2009;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top NSW High Schools HSC 2009 )〕 fifth in 2010;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top NSW High Schools HSC 2011 )〕 sixth in 2011;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top NSW High Schools HSC 2011 )〕 fourth in 2012;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2012 High School Rankings )〕 sixth in 2013,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=HSC School Ranking - 2013 )〕 and fourth in 2014.〔http://bettereducation.com.au/Results/Hsc.aspx?yr=2014〕 ==History== Established as Sydney High School in 1883, the school grounds were originally located on Elizabeth Street in the Sydney central business district,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Us: History )〕 where the David Jones store now stands. At the time, the school building was two storeys, blocked off by a high wall.〔 The ground floor was occupied by male students, while the females occupied the first floor. This was usual in the 1800s.〔 Because of high levels of noise pollution from transport and other activities, the boys' school moved to a different location, followed by the girls' school, which became Sydney Girls High School.〔 Ironically, the two streets currently adjacent to the school, Anzac Parade and Cleveland Street, are both large and busy roads that still make classrooms noisy from time to time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Light rail will run on Devonshire St despite community anger )〕 In 1921, SGHS moved to the former Sydney Zoo (now Taronga Zoo in Mosman, New South Wales) site, which was formerly known as the "Billy Goat Swamp" but is better identified as being opposite Moore Park, Fox Studios, and the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).〔 The new building incorporated many modern features necessary for twentieth century education, provided large areas of greenery and was more quiet, but students were sad to leave the original school site. The bear pit from Sydney Zoo still stands within the schools' "Lowers" grass area, shared with Sydney Boys' "the Flat".〔 SGHS students supported the war effort on the homefront in both World War I and World War II by organising care packages and knitting socks and other important clothing items for the soldiers on the front.〔http://www.sghs.nsw.edu.au/About_Us/History.html〕 In April 1999, a severe hailstorm in Sydney caused significant damage to the school grounds, destroying areas of the roof and causing water leakage into many of the classrooms.〔Stephen Yeo, Roy Leigh, and Ivan Kuhne. (1999.) ("The April 1999 Sydney hailstorm" ), ''Natural Hazards Quarterly'', 5(2).〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sydney Hailstorm Damage - 12/05/1999 - URG MOT )〕 To repair and prepare for restorations, students were given two weeks off school. This storm also destroyed much of the obsolete computer technology and paved the way for a large base of new technology throughout the school.〔http://www.sghs.nsw.edu.au/About_Us/History.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sydney Girls High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
