The Sydney High School Foundation Inc. was established on 23 January 1986 and held its inaugural meeting 9 April 1987. The intervening year was spent on defining the separate roles and responsibilities of the Foundation and the, then, School Council which had existed since 9 July 1951 and managed the attendant facilities at Centennial Park and Abbotsford. The membership of the Management Committee of the Foundation includes the Principal, Presidents of the SHS Old Boys Union and the School Parents & Citizens Association along with three nominees from each of these bodies.
