well our ds starts his first school day tommorrow in a public co-ed primary school which i am more than happy with so far. the school is newish and yes it does have alot of children (around 750) but the class sizes this year for prep is around 20 which is great imo. they also have a strict uniform policy. i have alot of friends who have had children go to the school we are sending him to and there has been nothing but high praise for the way the school operates and the way they care and teach our children. secondary school at this stage is up in the air - the local high school hasn't got a great reputation at the moment but that may change.

we were looking at sending our children to a mixed independant school but i have also had a few friends have children at the one we were going to go to but the problems they have had with a bullying issue and the way the school handled it was appaling so i cannot jusify the fees of this particular school atm.

i guess i am not one to really comment yet as we are just at the beginning of it all but from what i have heard and seen of the public school we are sending our son we are more than happy
