Old King's School, Parramatta, Heritage school building near Parramatta River, Australia

The school complex spans multiple heritage buildings along O'Connell Street, featuring two-story structures with distinctive colonial architecture and riverside gardens.

Founded in 1831 by order of King William IV, the institution operated as Australia's first independent school until relocating to North Parramatta in 1964.

The buildings reflect early Australian educational architecture through elements like formal classrooms, dormitories, and a chapel completed in 1889.

The site currently houses Bayanami Public School and maintains several original structures that showcase educational facilities from the 19th century.

The grounds contain Aboriginal heritage elements including scarred trees and indigenous plantings from the period when it was part of the Government Farm.
