Where will you send your children?

Grade Prep to 2 - Public

2-12 - To the private school I used to go to .

IF I have kids (fairly unlikely that I will want any):

Primary school - Camberwell Primary School, for the wonderful French immersion programme they have there (I wish I'd had the chance to do this!)

then...
7-12 - probably to my former school, CGS

OR

7-8 - VCASS (the Victorian College of Arts Secondary School, which I attended in Yr 7)
9-12 - MacRob/MHS
^ I swear that my friend's family is using this method to guarantee places at MacRob and MHS for all their 5 kids LOL!! So far my friend and her oldest brother have succeeded - 2 down, 3 to go haha. Not that they wouldn't have gotten in anyway, they're both smart - but I think it's very clever of their parents. Most people who go to VCASS are serious about staying there and becoming professional musicians/dancers etc., so basically no-one tries out for MacRob and MHS, which means guaranteed entry!

Yep trust Asian parents to come up with smart tricks like that ;]
But as I said in my edit...I reckon they would have made it anyway, without using that method, because they're both smart. It's just about making SURE they get in lol!

*Edit: But of course, they have to start their kids on music lessons very early, since they need to audition into VCASS!

[nickalaz]

not an all boys school.

Wat do u mean guaranteed entry? You still have to finish in the top 300 out of 1500 kids. The only advantage is that theres no dodgy 3% rule.

Ohhh... I got the same ENTER as someone from a private school!

[Eriny]

^ I think you're ENTER is higher than many people who went to private school.

[brendan]

i wouldn't risk a public school during the primary years, particularly if the public school you have in mind is in a low-socioeconomic area.

Aww... You mean that? ... Well, I was 7th out of ~300 at my really bad public school.

Well at least my school focuses on discipline and all . Also, it was the 2nd year of Year 12 at my school (İn 2007) - so I do not think it's bad at all .

Choosing the best school should not only be based on ENTER. The school should distribute equal discipline and give students the necessary love and affection so that they can grow into independant and respectful individuals.
