Epping Boys High School

As well as high achievements in the creative and performing arts, the school has a strong sporting and academic record. The school has been placed on the Centre of Excellence program.[1]

On 15 April 2010 the school hosted a Community Cabinet meeting chaired by the Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd.[2]

In the 2016/17 cricket season, Epping Boys High School won both the Challenge Cup and Allan Davidson Shield, defeating Figtree High and Endeavour Sports High respectively.

The school traditionally uses green and gold in its logo and student uniforms. The main uniform include dark grey trousers/shorts, a variety of green jackets, grey socks, black leather shoes and a shirt with the school logo (grey shirt for juniors [years 7–9] and white shirts for seniors [years 10–12]). The school tie for junior students consists of gold stripes on green with white stripes and school logo, while that for senior students consists of gold school logo printed on a pure green background.

The school also follows a structured PBL system with specific awards, some of which include the bronze, silver and gold badges, a green PBL tie and a principal's award. Students can receive "positive incidents", and at certain milestones students receive the awards.
