Conservatorium and Newtown schools are special government schools so they don't count.
Killara/Willoughby/Strathfield/Burwood/Mosman are very expensive areas.
That's why Cherrybrook/Eastwood/Epping/Cheltenham/Beecroft/Carlingford are popular, as they are the "cheaper" area with good schools.
With more and more people in Sydney, there are more kids and all parents wants their kids to go to good schools, regardless they are Chinese or not.
