Living and Studying in Perth
Perth is one of the fastest growing cities in
Australia.
We enjoy a sunny Mediterranean style
climate with an average of eight hours of
sunshine each day.
With an abundance of beautiful white
beaches, parks, galleries, shopping
centres, attractions, wineries, restaurants
and cultural precincts, there is plenty to do
and see.
Guildford Grammar School is located in
the beautiful, leafy suburb of Guildford,
the gateway to the Swan Valley, just
12 kilometres from the City of Perth.
Guildford has a small town feel, with many
historic and architecturally significant
buildings. The main street hosts a great
variety of quaint antique stores, cafes and
restaurants.
Studying in Perth
In Western Australia students start
their education at the age of four when
they enter Kindergarten and finish their
education in Year 12 when they are around
18 years of age.
The school year commences in late
January and concludes in early December.
We have four school terms, with two
or three week breaks between terms.
In July we have a three week break,
which provides an ideal opportunity for
international students to return home.
The end of year break, from December to
January, is around eight weeks.
