Great city centre location
Our modern school is right in the heart of Sydney, close to shops, transport
and entertainment districts.

Sydney is a great choice for international students. It’s the largest and
most cosmopolitan city in Australia but it’s also beautiful, safe and clean.
It has great shopping and nightlife and a lively
city centre. There are many concerts, festivals
and sporting events all year around.
The climate is great with hot summers
and mild winters so it’s easy to enjoy
the outdoors. Sydney is a large city
but you can go surfing, scuba-diving,
bushwalking or just relax on the
beach – all within the Sydney
metropolitan area.
Very importantly, our students
always find people from Sydney Photo: Hamilton Lund; Tourism NSW
