Studying in regional Western Australia offers real advantages for international students. Our South West location provides a safe, clean and friendly environment with a strong sense of community, excellent air quality and a relaxed Mediterranean climate.
Being just two hours from Perth, students enjoy the benefits of a regional setting without isolation - including smaller class sizes, closer relationships with teachers and a calmer pace of life that supports focus and wellbeing. Our time zone (GMT+8) also allows convenient communication with families across Asia, making it easier to stay connected.
Life at Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School is shaped by our natural surroundings. From bushland walks to swimming in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, students experience an authentically Australian lifestyle that builds confidence, independence and resilience.
Our Outdoor Education and Camps Program is carefully sequenced from Year 7 to Year 12, beginning with introductory camps and building through multi-day hiking, paddling and climbing expeditions in regional Western Australia, before culminating in senior experiences including Country Week, curriculum-based camps and university familiarisation.

With a warm, inclusive culture and students from diverse backgrounds, international students are welcomed into school life - not set apart from it.
