Education

Education in Sydney started with Aboriginal society and the everyday learning and formal initiation of young Aboriginal people. Institutionalised education came with the Europeans, who first created schools for convicts' children, and later for the children of the new gentry and middle classes. Sydney became the centre of education in the colony, with a university, and eventually in 1880, universal education throughout the suburbs of the growing city.

New Zealanders

Trans-Tasman relationships predate European settlement in New Zealand, and frequent exchanges between Sydney and New Zealand have persisted over two centuries. New Zealand-born Sydneysiders have figured in every area of Sydney's history, and since the 1960s mass migration from New Zealand has brought large numbers of Kiwis into Sydney's workforce and community.

Scots

Scots have been in Sydney from earliest European contact, with Forby Sutherland, a young Scottish crew member on the Endeavour, buried at Sutherland in 1770. Scots have played important roles in all facets of Sydney's history. While the Scots can seem to be 'invisible immigrants', without a clearly distinctive culture, Scottish professions, industry, religion and education have been influential in Sydney's development since the arrival of the First Fleet.
