Kellydud Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I am looking for advice on schools in Perth. We are moving at the end of the year and my son who is 8 will be starting year 4. I have sent an applcation to All Saints school in Bull Creek, which currently doesn't have space but we are hoping a vacancy becomes available. We are wanting a back up in case this doesn't happen and have been looking into the International School of Western Australia in City Beach. Does anyone have any experience / opinions on ISWA? Can you make any recommendations on other good state or private co-Ed primary schools (preferably without a strong religious element)? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Are you thinking of living in the Bull Creek area? Most public schools have a catchment area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It very much depends on whether we get a place at All Saints. It's a private school so catchment area isn't an issue. Where we live is very much dependent on which school we go for. If we don't get a place at All Saints then we are thinking of choosing a catchment area of a top state school - but which are the good ones?

Shenton College, Churchlands and Rossmoyne are considered some of the best state schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are state High Schools though and the OP's son is in year 4. @Kellydud are you only considering private schools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen78 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hi, if you're considering around the Bull Creek area then Rostrata Primary in Willetton is excellent, you have to live in Willetton catchment area though. This would then lead on to Willetton Senior High School which has a very good reputation. I have daughters in both schools and would recommend both. Think Willetton out performed Rossmoyne for results last year. Jen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budeman Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Oberthur primary school in Bull Creek is also excellent. Most children from there go to either Rossmoyne or Willetton. You can look for the rankings for all schools on the links below. http://bettereducation.com.au/SchoolRanking.aspx http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/in-depth/schools/interactive#browse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Just be mindful that whilst they may be feeder schools - you will have to reside in the catchment area of the HS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 I think you will find that Bullcreek PS, Bateman PS and Oberthur PS catchment areas are split between Rossmoyne, Willetton and Leeming High Schools. It will depend on where you live in those suburbs as to which High School is the catchment area. It used to be that Parry Avenue/Burrendah Avenue was the catchment boundary, but I am not sure how that works these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
