Normanhurst Boys High School

Normanhurst Boys High School, also referred to as Normo, is a fully selective day school for boys located on The North Shore of Sydney. Ruled over by the all-seeing Mr Anderson, known as Big Ando, Normo is pretty much run as a private school but with public school facilities. Why? Uniform is strictly enforced and arvos are handed out like benefits in Western Sydney; there is also one functioning air conditioner in the whole school and the bins have probably existed since the Vietnam War. To fix this? The toilets were painted red and the drama room, which is used by a grand total of two students per year, was given a multi-million dollar upgrade. *clap* But this doesn't stop Normo from being the best school in Sydney. A boy cannot spend his time at Normo without hearing the phrase "holistic education", pushed in his face by Ando at every school assembly. And holistic the boys are. They are the very definition of successful young men: surprisingly eloquent, mostly athletic and outgoing, Normo is unlike any other nerdy selective school in Australia. Not only are we intellectuals (we ranked 12th in the HSC in NSW) but social geniuses. And with over 82% of boys from the top quarter of society, boys from the school are richer than their nearly all of their private counterparts up the road and in fact in Sydney, specifically PLC, Knox Grammar and Barker College. This is surprising since no boys ever pay their fees and perhaps why the school forever remains a shit hole.
