Of the 18 positions on the council governing Parramattaâs 190-year-old Kings School, just one is held by a woman - former Abbotsleigh deputy head Rosemary Abrahams. At Trinity Grammar, another Anglican boysâ school, there are only two women among the 18 governors, and at Sydney Church of England Grammar (or Shore) there are four.
Kings, Shore, Trinity and other schools are under pressure to show leadership on gender issues amid concerns about privilege and toxic masculinity at boys-only schools and the influence that has on studentsâ attitudes and behaviour.

Teacher Sia Goutzas wanted to send her three girls to a co-ed school. Single-sex education may have made sense, she says, when men became workers and women wives, but those days are over.
“It’s insane that we are still segregating genders,” she says. “I don’t know why we can’t send girls to Sydney Grammar, or boys to St Catherine’s. For me it should be a natural part of schooling,” Goutzas says.
But in the part of the eastern suburbs where Goutzas lives, there are few co-ed options; even the public schools are single sex. So, in the end, her daughters went to a Catholic girls’ school.
