Keglin Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hi there,As we are coming over early April to validate our visas we thought it might be a plan to visit some schools. One we would like to visit is bcc. We need to start booking accommodation but need to tie it in with school holidays. Was wondering if anyone knows when they break up for Easter Hols. There website only has the2011 dates.Thanks Keglin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macarat Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 HiWe signed in this Christmas and were even lucky enough to have some interviews. We may be in Canberra by February. One of the schools we are interested in is Brindabella. Please can you let me know your thoughts on it and also the suburb it is in - is it a decent area to live?Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramer Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I don't have any experience with the school as both my boys go to public schools. Iaminact and apollo I think have got their kids in there. Keglin there are quite a few of us here from Natal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I presume you're referring to Brindabella Christian College in Lyneham ?I used to work full time at the ice rink / swimming pool in Phillip - and many schools in the ACT / NSW would use the facility for their carnivals, fun days as well as for weekly PE lessons - ice hockey, broomball, figure skating etc.Where am I going with this ? I saw first hand how some schools are so disorganised, how rude and foul mouthed some students can be, and it was always the same schools that caused trouble. ie we had to get in the cops, had to get in the ambo etc.Brindabella wasnt one of them.

As it is an independent school you do not have to live in the area of the school. The School is in Lyneham (said line-ham) there are some very nice but expensive suburbs near the school but if you choose BCC, you can live anywhere that is convenient Regards T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
