Mel-B Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Smailo, Don't know the area at all, sorry we are in Doncaster. buzz, Donvale Christian College has an amazing reputation. We have friends who will start there next year with their son. I don't know anything about the other school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellfish Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 www.bettereducation.com.au gives you school ranking. According to this site Donvale does better but having said that, it shouldn't be your only barometer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smailo Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Hi Mel-B and Shellfish, Thank-you for the comments. @Shellfish, I will use the link you provided and start evaluating schools based on ranking as well as other criteria. You are correct in that there are a number of other factors that need to be included as part of an 'acid' test. Once again thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
