Reddam House is an independent, co-educational, non-denominational, day school, located in Woollahra (Pre-School to Year 9) and Bondi (Years 10 to 12), both Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
The school was launched in Sydney by Mr. Graeme Crawford in June 2000. Publicised as a "dynamic, contemporary and creative schooling environment", it was created by a major renovation at the previous Taylors College in North Bondi.
The school attracted media attention with reports 36 percent of students, six times the state average, received "special consideration" in the 2006 HSC. [3]

[edit] History
Reddam House started as a Years 7 to 11 school in 2001 at the current Bondi Campus. The school grew very quickly. A new campus at Woollahra, near the Bondi Junction train and bus terminals, was opened in 2003.
The new Woollahra Campus enabled the opening of the Reddam House Primary School (Years K to 6) and the restructuring of the High School into a Middle School (Woollahra) and a Senior School (Bondi).
A new Pre-School was added to the Woollahra Campus in 2007.
[edit] Facilities
