The school occupies the first two floors of a building that is ideally located in the heart of Brisbane’s financial district. Close to public transport (5 minutes from the train station and opposite bus stops and the Fast Ferry boats that cross the river) as well as the numerous shops and restaurants of the city-centre, the school lets you make the most of life in a rapidly expanding city. It has 7 classrooms with large windows for excellent natural light, as well as a superb view over the Brisbane River and Moreton Bay. There are two computer rooms available with free Internet access, as well as a relaxation room, a student room and a library. Adjacent to the school you will find a lovely park, and just opposite the fantastic Riverside complex with its cafés and boutiques.
