Living In Adelaide
Adelaide, the vibrant capital of South Australia, is consistently ranked as one of the world’s most liveable cities.
A Global Hub of Arts and Culture
For boarders, Adelaide is an ideal destination to live and study as it offers a safe and friendly environment, affordable cost of living, reliable public transport, lively recreational activities, and wonderful places to visit such as our beautiful beaches and charming Adelaide Hills.
With a domestic and international airport, Adelaide features daily direct or connected flights to and from destinations around the country and the world, including excellent accessibility with Asia, the Middle East and North America.
Pembroke is nestled in Adelaide’s leafy eastern suburbs which are highly regarded for safety and community against a backdrop of stunning parks, ovals and tree-lined boulevards. This prized location is just a few kilometres from the city and within walking distance of The Parade, Norwood, home to a vibrant retail, hospitality and entertainment district.
Strong Foundations for Further Studies
Adelaide is internationally recognised as a leader in education across early learning, schooling, boarding, Vocational Education and Training (VET) and tertiary studies. With the latter, Flinders University has amassed more than 60 years of excellence in education and research, while the merger of the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia has created Adelaide University, the largest domestic educator of students in Australia.
Pembroke’s strong tertiary connections assist dozens of our senior students each year in undertaking local university studies in addition to their schooling commitments. Furthermore, our collaboration with these institutions as well as residential colleges allows us to provide superior transition and orientation support for our boarding graduates who wish to further their studies in South Australia.
A Career Destination
Career opportunities abound in South Australia which is a world leader in various industries and sectors including health, agriculture, resources, renewable energy, technology, advanced manufacturing, space, tourism, gastronomy, and of course, education.
