The number one factor which straight away halved our options was that we wanted to send our DD to a catholic school.

Other factors that we considered or that helped to influence us were:

- Distance - I didn't want to be driving more then 10 minutes
- No of students - we decided on a single stream school as opposed to the two and three streamed other schools. We felt that it offered a better learning environment with less children
- Community feel - everyone knew everyone and when we had been at the school the parents and students were all very welcoming and friendly
- The "feel" of the kindy facilities - we preferred these over other schools which had more equipment.
