St. Kilda

It is often very difficult to expand the horizons of ones experience and insight of a place if we are
constantly part of it, hence, a big advantage of studying at the Deakin School is our regional location.Our physical detachment from Melbourne provides us with an excellent vantage point from which to examine Victoria’s metropolitan and regional cities with clarity and objectivity, and affords us the freedom to develop independent and innovative lines of thought.
