Primary Schools in Cranbourne

[*TripleJ*]

Ok so Jamie is supposed to start school next year but I have no idea what schools around here are good or bad or whatever I don't know how to pick a school and I'm afraid of running out of time to find him a place
Help plz

You probably need to go and have a tour to get a feel for the school and the staff. Always best to go on a typical school day and see what the class and the teachers are doing in the classrooms.

Probably best for people to PM you with specific recommendations or comments and feedback. Rather than public posting,

Good luck making a choice!

Courtney Gardens Primary School in Cranbourne North is one of the best in the state. It's extremely popular though as it is so good so it is zoned but they do have a waiting list and do accept kids from the list. My DS will be going there in a few years

And I'm interested in public schools mostly should have said that but there's just so many I just wanted to see if I could narrow it down a bit

As far as I know most schools around here have already started their prep 2015 information sessions (days and night).

You need to phone them all and arrange to visit them. They'll soon be opening in up applications.

Does he go to kinder. Ask the kinder teachers what they think.

Courtney Gardens is a public school

The kinder teachers unfortunately cannot recommend schools. We can tell families where they are but not much else. I always encourage families to visit the schools and see which ones fit their families values and wishes for their child's education. Also, the place needs to feel right!
Cranbourne has many popular catholic schools in the area too.

Can't ask them anyway coz they go to daycare in Hallam so the kids there would probably go to school locally
I'll have to get on the phone on Monday I guess thanks guys
