[QUOTE=DadAgain;8707245]In terms of high school you missed the BEST performer of the lot! This school blows the others away by a LONG way if you're looking at raw statistics.

..and the good news? Its not a $16k a year private school its a state school: Qld Academy of Science Math & Technology at Toowong (selective 'geek' school).

QUOTE


My sons science teacher has suggested we look into that school for our geek He went into a NSW science competition and despite being a year younger ( qld ) was in the top 2% of entrants ( actually I think it was top 1% ) better check that Hes one of those math, science wizards, like his mum not.

The 2 hour commute to school would mean yet another move so it might just be the IB path he is on now.

Even if the same child would have received an op6 somewhere else...surely it is all relative....the facilities at some are great as well. I doubt it is all about the op.
