Hi. Am just after some advise on good schools in the Adelaide area, preferably south / west. Unsure whether public or private at this stage, as I can't find much information on private fees to compare, but of course the rating of the school is my first priority. If Adelaide folk here have any tips, they are much appreciated. Thank you.

I would suggest looking at:

https://www.myschool.edu.au/ - general school comparison based on standardised tests called NAPLAN

Australia : Private School Fees and Costs | Exfin - The Australian Expatriate's Gateway - these provide an indication of private school fees at the most prestigious (i.e. costly schools in Adelaide), largely eastern suburbs. Good schools south and west include Westminster College and Immanuel College, at least in terms of reputation. Catholic schools will be substantially cheaper but I cant provide any figures.

Primary or high school?

Adelaide's public school are, generally speaking, pretty good. I know some people prefer to do public school for primary then move to a private school for high school, especially if there is a particular speciality. Both of ours have been in public primary and one is now going to public high school. Not sure with the younger one but she still has 2 yrs before high school.

Location will be quite key as the further south you go, outside of the metro area, the fewer high school options there are.

Westminster has a good reputation but has some of the highest fees

As already said you don't mention the ages of your children or just how far south of Adelaide you mean. A bit more information would help the replies. South could mean Unley or Noarlunga!
