Hi CanuK,Runnermum, and Sharon469,
We've been at Ingleside for about 4 years now. I love it there, the kids love being there.. They get to do so much that they wouldn't be able to at a bigger school. At the moment there are about 45 kids. They're looking at getting chickens for the kids to raise, they have an organic garden that the children tend (and eat all the produce), a regenerating rainforest that's 20+ years old and doing well with rare and endangered species. They are involved in community events and interact with other small schools in the area. They don't miss out socially, they play interschool sports in yrs 5,6 &7. There are whole school excursions to seaworld/australia zoo and the planetarium, science museum...

We have been to schools in Ireland and big school in Brisbane and on the coast and Ingleside suits us nicely. While it's small the kids come from Burleigh, and Nerang, Elanora and all over the place. There's no bullying, every child is heard and supported. What more can you ask? They certainly hold their own educationally when compared to the state averages. It's as montessori as you can get in main stream education.
I have 2 boys at the school, one in yr4 and the other in yr6. I have also had other children go through the school and they have benefited from their time at Ingleside.

I'd be happy to show you around if you'd like. Give the school a call and let me know. Orientation Day is tomorrrow...
Kindest Regards,
Nel
