Anyone recommend any high schools between Brisbane North and Sunshine Coast?
Hi
We are awaiting our 139 visa, been told to expect confirmation any day now. Trying to get some recommendations on high schools, what's good etc. My son is 13 and currently attends private school here, not too bothered if he goes to private or state in Oz providing school is good, hence would appreciate any advice from parents with similar age children who have migrated to Brisbane area.
I know the area I've specified is pretty big, not too bothered were we settle at the moment
First post on the site, really impressed with the quality of information available here, look forward to the replies

Hi my son went to a school called pacific Lutheran in caloundra on sunshine coast it is an independent school and has one of the best reputations on the east coast. is from prep to yr 12.
Website www.pacificlutheran.qld.edu.au
we are back in UK at the mo and plan to return for next school yr in Jan. he was only in prep but we were really impressed! the only thing that may put UK kids off is the uniform!! good luck in your plans, ff

A former colleague of mine was the foundation principal of the Fraser Coast Anglican School (college)
Although he isn't there any longer he was a very capable Director of Studies and from recent communication I am impressed by what i have heard about FCAC?
Not 100% sure about the title of the school - happy to be corrected.
