Hi Girls

I`m not sure what to do with Matthew`s schooling.

My SIL`s children go to a Private School where they wear normal everyday clothes, they eat only healthy foods, they are into nature and family life in a big way, for school excursions they are often going overseas, interstate, such as next school term 4 of them are going to the Snowies for a week and the eldest is going to Alice Spring for 3 weeks. It`s only a small school where the children get individual attention, I think there`s only about 20 to a class. To get into the school the parents need to be interviewed and there are a number of questions we have to answer about the way Matthew has been brought up before they even think about accepting him. Children attending this school do not start until they are 6, which is fine by me.

My problem is: The school is 40 minutes away in peak hour, which school time would be peak hour, I`m not sure if I want to comit myself to 12 plus years of picking up and dropping off to school when it takes 40 minutes to get there.

Why I have brought this up now when Matthew`s only 14 months is because if I want him to go to this school we`d have to enrol him soon.

I just don`t know what to do, I`d love him to go to this school but the distance is putting me off. If he doesn`t go to this school, he`ll be going to our local public school and the bus picks him up from our door, I`m not saying there is anything wrong with public schools, afterall I went to both public primary and high schools and I think I`ve turned out okay

I`d love to hear your thoughts.

Take Care
