Santosha - i dont know enough about Steiner. What I've heard has been mixed: child led development vs dictate how to run things at home. I like what I've read about Montessori, but unless we end up on the peninsula, it would be a big commute.

Sloane - thanks for that. Is Adpendale zoned? I know Carrum is.

I'm pretty impressed with Cornish so far, but dont know that we could afford it for primary.
