Not far from the city centre is Randwick where Kenvale College of Tourism and Hospitality Management is located. It is a residential suburb of single-family homes and multi-unit blocks. The area accommodates many students and has a large multi-cultural population. Its shopping centres reflect the influence of many cultures.

At its closest point, the City is about 4.5 kilometres southeast of the Sydney Central Business District. At the northern extremity of the City is Centennial Park, site of the Declaration of Federation on 1st January, 1901, while the southern boundary forms part of the foreshore of Botany Bay.

Predominantly a residential area with related retail / commercial pockets, Randwick is also a major educational centre with the University of New South Wales and the Sydney Institute of Technology, Randwick Campus. The National Institute of Dramatic Arts, training ground for many of Australia’s leading actors, is housed on the University of New South Wales’ campus. Kenvale College is located slightly opposite Gate 9 of the University of New South Wales in High Street.

Sport and recreation have always been a major interest in the City and a full range of sporting facilities are provided throughout the area. Horse racing has had particular association with the region, with the first registered horse race taking place on the site of the Royal Randwick Racecourse in 1833. It is now Sydney’s premier racecourse. Five quality golf links are within Randwick’s boundaries, the NSW, St Michaels, Randwick, The Coast and The Australian. Also, adjacent to Coogee Beach is Coogee Oval, home of the “Galloping Greens”, Sydney’s premier Rugby Union Teams, whilst during the summer months the Oval becomes the major venue for Randwick Cricket Club.
