Where in Melbourne, good public high school, on train and tram?

You are right, it is tricky. Probably things will change when she is old enough for secondary, so it's probably something you can't plan right now. Other families are probably doing both those things. I work within the Glen Waverley SC area and families will do a lot to "get in" the house prices are ridiculous for what they are - and really it's still just a school. If you bring your child up with the values you have, it probably doesn't matter if you get don't go to the 'so called' best schools... Cause... How do you define 'best'? Depends on what your values are ... Some of the schools we are discussing here have pretty crappy welfare structures, and don't deal with special needs well... Which annoys me, cause even if my child is doing well... I want to know that there is that support there if I need it.
