Welcome Year 7

Welcome Year 7 students and parents to Sydney Technical High School. The first week has been an exciting and action-packed with many more thrilling activities in the coming weeks.

What an amazing week for Jordan Ka Truong 2016 UNSW EAA - The Home of ICAS medalist.

On Friday 25 November 2016, Jordan Ka Truong was awarded the ICAS Science Medallion at UNSW Kensington Campus for achieving a top mark in the Year 11 ICAS Science Competition, a one hour competition comprising 45 multiple choice questions. This is an internationally recognised competition, with over 20 countries and 1 million students sitting for the ICAS competitions in 2016. Tech annually participates in this competition, and has shown great results in previous years.

I encourage all students to work hard and reach their full potential, so they may be the future leaders of tomorrow.
