School description

short 15 minute ferry ride across the iconic harbour from Sydney City, Manly is a world away from the hustle of the business district. Lexis Sydney sits right in front of the golden sands of Manly Beach, part of
the beachfront strip containing some of Sydney’s most popular cafes, restaurants and bars. Manly is the birthplace of Australian surfing and still is one of the world’s premier surfing breaks, with professionals and beginners alike drawn from far and wide by the fantastic waves and the beachside lifestyle that Manly offers.

With short travel time to homestays and student accommodation and plenty of part time work opportunities.
