Study and Work in Australia

Pleasant Weather

Sydney enjoys a temperate climate with warm summers, mild winters, and plenty of sunshine throughout the year. Summers (December to February) are typically warm, with average temperatures ranging from 18°C to 26°C (64°F to 79°F), though heatwaves can push temperatures higher. Winters (June to August) are mild, with temperatures averaging between 8°C to 17°C (46°F to 63°F). Rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year, with slightly higher precipitation during the autumn months. The city's coastal location means it benefits from cooling sea breezes in the summer, making it a pleasant place to be year-round.

Convenient Transport

Sydney has a modern and comprehensive public transport system that efficiently connects its residents and visitors to various parts of the city and surrounding regions. The network includes an extensive train system, known for its reliability and coverage, connecting the central business district (CBD) with suburbs and key destinations. The light rail system complements this by providing easy access to popular areas within the city, while an extensive bus network services both urban and suburban areas. Additionally, Sydney's ferries offer a scenic and practical way to travel across the harbour, linking key locations such as Circular Quay, Manly, and Parramatta.
The college is located a few minutes walking distance to Sydney Central trains, light rail and buses.
