Queensland. What a place to start. 

What better place to start a learning journey than a state where the people are as warm and welcoming as the sun that shines 300 out of 365 days of the year.

Queensland is home to over five million people — one third of whom are migrants or children of migrants — 1,700 beaches that stretch across almost 7,000km of coastline and 1,000 national parks that Australian flora and fauna call home. From reef to rainforest, outback to ocean, there’s an education and lifestyle in Queensland that’s just waiting for your child to get started here.
