Apparently he enjoys it and is very happy there I have seen the school on numerous occassions and the physical environment and facilities look good.There are a number of schools in that area (public and private) so I see no problem with feeder schools.Enjoy!Manny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annette Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hi Belinda.Look at: High School zoningIf you look at the links on the left of the page you will find a range of useful resources regarding schooling. I can only think of Brighton PS in that zone, but someone else may have more info. There is an alternative to getting into Brighton HS and that is to audition for a place on their special interest music or volleyball programs. You can live outside the zone for those, but your child will have to study music or volleyball up to year 12. I don't know much about the volleyball program, except that Brighton has a fantasti sports center because of it, with electronic whizz-bang sports analysis equipment, plasma screens and cameras in the gym etc. Very impressive. Their music program is arguably one of the best in the state nd they certainly win lots of competitions. If your child has any interest in music whatsoever, I would try and get her into that. The opportunities are fantastic. Brighton is one of a very small handful of State High schools I would recommend. Belinda, also have a look on the Adelaidebrits and Pomsinadelaide forums. There are many discussions on schools on both of those and I personally know a coupld of Brits with kids in Brighton who have moved them there from other schools. Here is the school website:http://www.brightonss.sa.edu.au/#The area is good as well with the bulk of the students from middle-class, professional families with high expectations, which usually filter through to the kids. My daughter's (18) contribution: Brighton kids love to party. I know there have been issues with house parties going wild in that area, but I also know they were caused by outsiders from further south gatecrashing and wanting to cause trouble. Good luck, speak soonAnnette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
