Australia is a wonderful place in which to be educated. It's friendly and relaxed reputation makes it an attractive place for students from overseas. The closeness of Australia to Asia and the Indian sub-continent also means that schooling in Australia can be very appealing to some. The most compelling reason to choose Australia for schooling is the quality of education. Australia offers not only outstanding schools, but many excellent universities and their fees are often cheaper than in many other parts of the world.
Sydney is one of the great cities of the world. Located within a few hours of the vineyards of the Hunter Valley, the breathtaking Blue Mountains and the beautiful Southern Highlands, Sydney, with its golden beaches and glorious harbour, is a city consistently ranked as one of the most liveable in the world. Sydney is also Australia's largest city. It was home to the 2000 Olympics and is one of the most significant centres for education, commerce, culture and sport within the Southern hemisphere.
Parramatta is located in the demographic centre of Sydney and some 35 minutes drive from the central business district. It was once the seat of Government for New South Wales. The King's School used to be located in the centre of Parramatta, but moved to North Parramatta in the 1960s to take advantage of being able to educate boys on 300 acres of parkland. The School is located next door to Lake Parramatta, a picturesque reserve and recreation area.
