City attractions: There are many attractions lining the Yarra River. On the side of the school is the Flinders Street Railway Station and the Fed Square. These are around 30 minutes by foot or 15 minutes by public transportation from the school. Crossing the river, students can find the Melbourne Skydeck, National Gallery of Victoria and the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria.
