Among the numerous esteemed boys’ schools in Australia, which one do you consider to be the epitome of ‘old money’? I would place my bet on Kings School in Sydney. Many of its students hail from farming families whose wealth can be traced back to the 1800s.

That’s an interesting choice! The King’s School in Sydney definitely has a long-standing reputation and a rich history that aligns with the notion of “old money.” Its ties to prominent families and a legacy of tradition certainly contribute to that image.
Another contender might be St. Joseph’s College, Hunters Hill, which also has deep historical roots and has produced many notable alumni from affluent backgrounds. It all boils down to the specific aspects of “old money” you’re considering, like traditions, lineage, or connections. What do you think makes King’s stand out compared to other schools?
