Not sure where you are in Melbourne but might pay to look far and wide for a govt school such as a Montessori based stream (there is one in Mitcham for eg.) or a school that has a more wholistic approach to education, with play and inquiry based focus rather than traditional methods. I am a govt. primary teacher, and I believe in the public system but I also see gaps in the mainstream public system but there are schools that do it super well. We are going to look into other options for secondary, as others mentioned I would rather be home more than working during their primary years but depending where we are living will look at private/independent for secondary.
