Sorry I meant the schools like prendiville that are sponsored by the catholics or other schools by the Anglicans ( not too sure what the right lingo is ) No apology necessary, I don't live in Perth so I was genuinely curious whether Perth had a "semi-private" category. I know Perth has some govt schools that are run by a school board rather than the education dept...we are getting those in Brisbane now and I'm curious to know how successful they are.

Bronwyn&Co Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 My kids attended a Catholic High School in Adelaide and are now at a Lutheran one in Brisbane where the fees are double. We were extremely happy with the Catholic school, it was great value for money (still not exactly cheap), with stunning grounds and lovely teachers. No complaints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drought Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hi JulesThere are three education sectors in WA: government; Catholic ( such as Prendiville, La Salle, etc) and independent schools ( this includes both the Anglican, Baptist, and high-fee paying schools, such as Hale, Scotch, etc.) The term semi- private is not used at all. Essentially all schools other than government schools are private, they just vary in the fees they charge. ( Should also mention that the high- fee schools are sometimes referred to as the PSA schools- Public Schools association!!)As for schools in the area; have a look at the following St Mark's Anglican, Lake Joondalup Baptist, Peter Moyes Anglican and maybe even Quinns Baptist- varying degrees of travel involved. If money and a bit of travel is not an issue, for girls look at St Mary's.Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
