Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "North Sydney Boys High School" in English language version.
After spending countless hours sorting out the Crows Nest school's archive and viewing State Records NSW material, Ms Eberhard is confident the school was officially founded in 1912. Some argued it was 1915 when students moved to the current Falcon St site, and a piece of stonework at the school inscribed 1913 remains a mystery.
Hawley quotes Darling as saying "The school needs to have a soul of its own and that can only be preserved by Old Boy associations, father-to-son associations, and a few Mr Chips and assistant masters who are prepared to make the school their life. There is no earthly reason why the State school system cannot do all that if it wanted to. Sadly, only the selective high schools had enough clout to do it – Melbourne High, North Sydney High, are just as good or better than any private school."
A High School for boys is to be erected at North Sydney, on a site in Falcon-street, but the details of this scheme are not yet complete.
