Welcome from our principal
“Punchbowl Boys’ High School is a community that encourages young men to strive towards their goals. We are committed to engaging, educating, empowering, and enabling our students to excel as they navigate their educational journey.
Our school promotes a dynamic learning and social environment that supports students in becoming responsible, respectful, and safe lifelong learners in a global community. Our dedicated staff provides a platform to encourage all students to meet their potential by catering to the needs of all learners, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to work hard and achieve their academic goals. Our proud school motto, Facta Non Verba, or “Deeds, Not Words,” serves as a reminder to all members of our school community that we should not only talk about our aspirations but also take actions that lead to success.
We are proud to offer state-of-the-art flexible learning spaces designed to improve student learning and social outcomes. Our facilities include a café, barber shop, gym, and robotics room, all of which create engaging environments that foster collaboration, creativity, and practical skills.”
