Hi there,
Of all the things you go through in arranging the move over to Australia it is making sure you get your children's education sorted.
For us, it was the most important part. We moved to Victoria last year, we'd been lucky enough to come on a reccie trip a couple of years before that, so we knew the area we wanted to make our home. Initially, we chose Mornington. Our boys were going to go to Mornington Secondary School. But, on doing more research, we found that the best school in the area was in Frankston South. So, although in time we will move down to Mornington, at the moment the boys and their education come first, so we live within the school zone of Frankston High. We knew nothing of the schools here, but managed to find people that have children going to schools in the area, which helped us make up our minds.
It's a shame that there isn't an OFSTED equivalent here in Australia. It would make the choosing process a lot more easier.
I'm sorry I can't help with recommendations for schools in Brisbane, but if there are any other questions you've got, just ask away.
