    Myturn, that would be great. Yarra Valley Grammar is a good school but works out around $25-30k a year. I would need to go back to working fulltime and I'm not sure that would be a good thing for her???

    Billanook is a maybe. I need to look in to it more. At about $20k a year, it is closer to my budget than YVG.

    Looking at the Melbourne Rudolf Steiner School at the moment. Anyone had any experience??

    Eta - I looked at the Tintern website a couple of years ago and the thing that struck me the most was the complete absence of any mention of social service or community awareness/compassion, etc. It really disappointed (and alarmed) me. Also, their recent years' VCE results are really poor :/

    Weare at the base of the mountain so Monbulk/Upwey is too far away. Thanks anyway.

    The state schools I am looking at are Ringwood (out of our zone dammit) and Lilydale (although way too big for my liking).
