Derbygirl42 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) it's silly o'clock here in Perth and I can't sleep as have to decide on a rental tomorrow and I'm not sure about our school choice. My dilemma is that all along I have wanted South Halls Head school I have found a house in the catchment which I can definitely get and also have another potential one in Halls Head (Glencoe catchment). I went to see both schools yesterday and from what I saw my gut instinct told me Glencoe, nothing wrong with SHH and all seened great i just have a niggle thats telling mevit might not be right for my children. The issue I have though is that I may not get the house in Glencoe catchment but I can definitely have the one in SHH which is in Seascapes and I love that area as well. arrgghhhh!!!!! My main concern is that the children are happy and in the school that's right for them, having pulled them out of a fab school in the uk where they had wonderful friends I need to make the right call. My daughter isn't very academic and so learning doesnt come particularly easy to her and I'm worried she might feel under pressure at SHH as have read that it's quite intense ? she's never had any additional support in her school in the uk but was always was towards the bottom half of the class in core subjects. Appreciate any insight from any teachers or parents that might be reading this from SHH. many thanks! ps been here 10 days loving it apart from stress of making this decision- I need to do my week one update but can't think if anything else until I get the school sorted.

LoopyLauren Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Oh bless ya. I hope you get your decision made asap. Must be difficult choosing with added stress of school concerns. I am stressed about choosing and I can relax on the school front for while longer yet. Good luck Lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childs Family Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 What did you decide in the end - SHH or Glencoe? These are the two schools I'm looking at for my children so interested in how you got on. I did feel for you reading your post. I feel the same pressure in making sure I choose the right school. I keep saying if the children are happy then I'll be happy! How old are your children? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesw Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 My lad went to South Halls Head and its an excellent school, no complaints what so ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbygirl42 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 hi ya I went for SHH in the end as I'd secured the house in seascapes so it all made sense. I'd have been happy with any of the schools in Halls Head as they all seemed very god. I'm just crossing my fingers that's its the right choice for the children, we went again the following day and they both seemed happy so hope so. When are you coming out? I'll let you know how we get on. What did you decide in the end - SHH or Glencoe? These are the two schools I'm looking at for my children so interested in how you got on.
