James Cook Boys Technology High School is a boys' secondary school situated on Princes Highway in Kogarah, Australia. The school is named after Captain James Cook, the first recorded European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia.
James Cook was founded in 1956 after Moorefield racecourse was demolished. The site of the racecourse was divided to provide sites for three schools (Moorefield Girls High School, James Cook Boys Technology High School and St George School for kids with severe disabilities), St George TAFE. The rest of the site was allocated for residential development.
The school was renamed several times (originally Moorefield Boys High School) before becoming James Cook Boys. In 1990 the school faced a choice between becoming a sports or technology specialty secondary school, choosing to become a technology high school. The name was changed to James Cook Boys Technology High School in 1990.
Queen Elizabeth II visited the school on 29 April 1970 (the bicentennial year of James Cook's arrival in Australia) along with her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and Anne, Princess Royal.
