Normanhurst Boys' High School was opened on 28 January 1958 as comprehensive boys' school. It was designated a selective school from the commencement of the 1994 school year and received its first intake of 120 boys in that year. From 1999 the school became fully selective with a student population of approximately 720.

The school is situated on 6.3 hectares within 5 minutes walk of the Normanhurst railway station. The grounds are very pleasant with trees and extensive grassed areas.

In past years the students, staff and parents/caregivers have built a fine reputation of good behaviour, good academic results and good sporting achievements. We anticipate that future students will further enhance the reputation of the school in these areas.

Many traditions have continued over the years: the School Motto, the School badge and School colours are part of the school’s heritage.

• The motto Know Thyself suggests that a boy should know his strengths and weaknesses.
• The school colours are Black and Red and are incorporated in the uniform and sports gear.
• The School crest features a blue gum of the district.
