hi there
my kids go to briar hill primary and we love it
its a small school and has a steiner and a main stream element
its not far from eltham at all
eltham east is a great school- has a well known choral / music program
eltham primary is suppose to be good as well- a bit smaller
dont know much about research P.S but all the school in the area a pretty good.
good luck and welcome to the area!!
