I went to both Private and Public. And my children will be going Public.

From personal experience I feel that children gain more from a public school. Should our children want to specialise in a subject that is not offered at a public school, we will send them private.

Our daughter is attending a public co-ed, grade prep. She is in a class of 18 students. In this class there are 10 children with hearing disabilities and 8 children who have no disabilities (our daughter was picked for this class becuase she is ahead for her age, and could handle the pressures of learning sign language at an early age). Her class has 3 teachers to the 18 students, when the hearing impaired children are out of class (2 hrs a day), she is in a class of 8 with one teacher.

I am really impressed by this school, and do not feel that we could pay for a better education. I also feel that should a children want to learn, they will, paying for an education can not make a children who doesn't want to learn, learn.

I feel it is important to research the school
