Eves Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 We've decided to make the move....deep breath.....very exciting and scary but I'm a Perth girl at heart and it's time to come home!! So, although I was raised in Perth the school system has changed so much since 1995 and I need advice on private primary/secondary schools south of the river. Ideally I'd like to feed into a high school but not essential. My 7 and 5 year olds are currently in a Sussex Prep school and doing well but I'm not all about academics or all about sport. I'd like a good healthy balance = worksheets then running around in the fresh air! We've been at an 11+ school but personally that's not for us. Pastoral care/buddy system very important! Any experiences or thoughts welcome. I'm flying out in March to look at some over the space of a week then flying back. School is key for us, we want our happy kids to try and stay as happy as possible :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Sorry, can't help with the private schools question as mine were/are in public, just bumping the post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot01 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 SOR is very large! Your best bet might be All Saints College which does very well in the school comparison statistics, is k to year 12 I think and is co ed. Rossmoyne and Willeton high schools, not private, beat many of the private schools so you could save money and go for a feeder primary for one of those schools, both make it into the top 20 schools each year.

Thanks for your reply! I know Rossmoyne was amazing when I lived in Perth but it's catchment restricted and although school tables and academic results are important they are not my primary focus....there is an amazing grammar school near us in Cranbrook which I imagine to be like Rossmoyne. Will definitely look at All Saints thanks for suggestion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutnudger Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 What private are you looking for? Catholic, Anglican or Baptist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eves Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 What private are you looking for? Catholic, Anglican or Baptist? I am happy to look at everything. Although we have done Catholic in the past, I wouldn't rule any other faiths out. Suggest away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
