I wish there were more Catholics out here (lol)... (no offence to the Catholics!) As far as I know the select entry school would only charge govt school fees. That's pretty much the whole point, providing extension for gifted chn without the private school price tag. It will only begin at Year 9 though so you have to think of somewhere else to send your kids until then and also hope they are bright enough to get in. I was under the impression that it was to be attached to the new P-12 school opening at Manor Lakes but haven't read the local paper for a few weeks so I may have missed something. There are plenty of Catholics in Wyndham and heaps of Catholic primary schools. McKillop and Thomas Carr are the two Catholic secondary colleges in the area. If you live in Tarneit you would be zoned for Thomas Carr. Some people I know prefer a single sex setting and send their girls to Mt St Joseph in Altona. Re: Tarneit Suburb 19Jan 26, 2009 2:44 pm you are right about Melb High being govt school, but there are still fees/costs to go there... but less than $3,000 per year per child (I thinkith)...
But I had heard from a good source that GNL did not have a handle on bullying etc... these sort of things worry me too. I have only heard good things about WBG, but that is out of our financial ability... bumma A thankful person is a happy person.

We have another child who has just started Prep there and she loves it so much that she has spent the whole first week of the holidays crying about missing school so much!! Bullying is not something we have had many issues with, and when minor things have happened we have brought it up and it was dealt with instantly and has not recurred. The fees are also reasonable for a private school and they are building a high school at present. I would certainly recommend it if you can afford it and you don't mind religion being part of their education. Hope that helps |
