History predominates as a theme on this site.

	Explore an illustrated chronology of Parramatta High. The pages are arranged by decade from 1913.
	Here is the first of a number of thumbnail galleries of historical photos of PHS reaching right back to the beginning - including staff group photos and sports team photos from 1913-1973.
	The first published history of the school appeared in the December 1916 edition of the school magazine. It is reproduced graphically here.
	Our school badge contains many significant images and boasts an absorbing history of its own.
	The 1914-18 Great War took its toll on the PHS community. The Honour Roll chronicles our loss.

Images, photographic and otherwise, abound in the categories listed below.

Here is a gallery of portraits of Headmasters (and Principals) of Parramatta High.
Some biographies accompany the portraits.

Here is a gallery of aerial photographs of Parramatta High.
One is a commercial plan view from 1991 (thumbnail at left), and 20 or so from late October 1999.

We are compiling a library of panoramic images of the school and environs. They range up to over 360° in scope.

Stereo, or 3D photographs taken in and around the school are available as either parallel pairs or as anaglyphs (viewed through red-blue glasses). View the index pages here: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |

The Parramatta High School Magazine was first published in 1916. Images from the first years are reproduced here. Go to page | 1 | 2 | 3 |

What would a web site be without a bunch of animated GIFs? These ones are exclusive to PHS.

Whimsy, assistance, trivia and miscellany:

As this site progresses in size and complexity, more and more faculty-specific information becomes available. View the index to the faculties here.

Parra's ex-students can publish a potted biography here, and/or advertise reunions etc.

Here is the How, What, Where, Why of this site. Lots of boring technical guff.

A lexicon-based approach to Latin translations is attempted here.
Our school motto, fax mentis incendium gloriae suffers a similar indignity.

Shakespeare Here are some literary incursions: One from Hamlet, Kipling's Tommy, and our own George Best's piece, "The Poet's Pitfalls." All three are in context, and illustrate a previous page.

This sitemap is simply a list of all the HTML files, arranged heirarchically. It will show you which pages you've seen (if your browser displays "visited links".)

This semi-graphical site map should prove a little more user-friendly than the one-page version above.

It's neither elegant nor complete, but this alphabetical index to the site may help you find something. You can just browse through it, if you wish...
