Barrenjoey High School is located near Avalon and the Northern Beaches, which are among the most beautiful places in the Sydney metropolitan area. This picturesque headland was originally home to artists, and this flair can still be felt today at Barrenjoey High School. Shortly after the school bell rings, you can see many students running with their surfboards to the sandy beach, which is 100 meters away.
Supermarkets, cafes and cinemas are just a few minutes away. The center of Sydney is about 35 kilometers away. You can easily get there by bus to Manly and then by ferry to Circular Quay.
The location directly on the beach and the sea is used by Barrenjoey to shift large parts of the lessons to the outdoors when the weather is good (which is often), and all water sports (surfing, sailing, stand-up paddling) are offered. Due to the manageable number of students, the relationship among between students and with the teachers is also very relaxed and personal.
The school offers a remarkable blend of academic achievement, artistic expression and social awareness. Barrenjoey High School has a very good music program, with its own musical productions. In winter there is a ski camp, in which the entire 11th year, including the international students, participate.
