North Sydney Boys High School has a wide range of programs that support student learning and enhance social and personal development. These programs operate as part of the extended before and after school timetable and are designed to complement the curriculum by enriching the core learning experiences for students.
BSOC
Business Society, NSB's biggest club, boasting over 100 exclusive members, immerses students in the business world through a carefully crafted curriculum. We offer inter school stock pitch and case competitions, host numerous guest speakers and seminars presented by individuals from various industries and offer many business-focused workshops, to enhance financial literacy and provide our members with invaluable experiences.
The Forum
The Forum is a student led and teacher coordinated group that features fascinating discussions and expert speakers on a range of current issues. With a different topic each week, all students are very welcome to bring their perspectives, or to just listen and learn if they prefer.
We meet each Thursday for all of lunch in C2, with a planning meeting on Tuesday lunches, also in C2.
Software Development Club
Are you interested in computers, coding or maths? Then look no further than the Software Development Club! We are a tight-knit and highly active community specialising in competitive programming and competitions that are both project-based and problem-based. Novice and experienced programmers alike are welcome! Our community is highly experienced in some of the most popular programming languages and will surely help whenever needed!
Philosophy Club
On Thursday afternoons, once every two weeks, in C2, students meet to discuss a reading from a philosopher. Each meeting we decide on the next topic for discussion, with an overall aim to cover the fundamentals of all major subfields of philosophy.
Drawing Club
Drawing Club is a place for students to be creative and develop their own artmaking skills. Students can choose to either work on individual projects or group tasks that the club will work on together. There are opportunities for these projects to be exhibited and sold at the annual market day!
Engineering Club
Engineering club is primarily for junior students (Years 7 - 9) who have an interest in pulling stuff apart and putting it back together! Meetings are held on Thursday’s at lunch in TAS1 / TASW and run by our dynamic Year 10 and 11 leaders under the supervision of one of our TAS teachers.
Members are introduced to the fundamentals of engineering theory and provided the opportunity to complete individual and group projects to apply this knowledge in real world contexts. This enriching activity supplements study in Engineering and Physics and assists the development of strong workshop and communication skills.
There are several leadership opportunities available for those students interested in remaining involved in the Engineering club once tenure as a member has concluded.
History Club
Open to all students who love History. The club has been going since 2017! Meets every Friday after school in C13. Lots of fun and lively discussions with optional presentations by students on their topics of interest. A weekly On This Day session where we discuss (and sometimes argue about) what happened in History on that particular Friday. Join us!
Photography Club
Open to all years and levels of experience, Photography Club is a vibrant community for students passionate about photography to gather at lunchtimes, whether they own a camera or not. We explore various aspects of photography in depth, such as lighting setups, analog and digital techniques, editing processes, insights into the professional field, and student competitions. Our sessions include peer reviews where students share their work and interests, providing constructive feedback to help each other grow as photographers.
