Multicultural, harmonious, affluent and affordable, the city is located in Sydney Harbour National Park, surrounded by national parks and only ninety minutes drive from the World Heritage Blue Mountains National Park.
New South Wales at large is characterised by diverse landscapes: delightful stretches of coast populated by cities and towns, large and small, agricultural and industrial; diverse rural agricultural regions populated by farming communities in the towns and regional centres; national parks and ski fields in the southern mountains.
High Schools in Sydney and NSW offer the same kind of diversity in their geography and student populations, from both the local areas and overseas, while their teachers are university-trained professionals.
Qualifications from NSW schools are recognised internationally and overseas students have 300 schools in Sydney and NSW to choose from.
International students learn alongside Australian students in a safe and supportive multicultural environment that enhances the student’s social skills, confidence and overall experience.
NSW is a clean, modern and urbanised state, offering top of the line facilities for health, recreational and study purposes. Studying in this state will provide the choice of studying inland, on the coast or in the city.
Studying regionally is often cheaper and a provides a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. On the coast you will live close to the famous sunny beaches of Australia.

"I came to study at a High School in NSW for a year and liked it so much I decided to stay and do my HSC. I chose Australia because family had been here before and told me positive things about it and how much they loved it. My ability in English has improved and many teachers made everything so much easier for me. One of the important things has been the friends I've made. I'm not sure what I'm going to do after my HSC. I just know that Australia has been the best experience I have ever had."
"NSW government schools have the best choices of study. You can enjoy school life here and meet a variety of people. I have an opportunity to extend myself and achieve my dreams."
