Re: applecross, good?
I know its impossible, im talking school quality only here.
Applecross is public, it is considered a good public school a, but how good is "good public"? is it still comparable to mid range (or a bit higher) private schools with easy enough entry (no religion requirements or 20 year waiting lists, etc)?
We dont really know neighbours or anybody in the area.

My niece went to AX SHS and got a pretty good Yr 12 result. Her brother did a few years at AX but never settled so they moved him to Aquinas (RC). There he also failed to academically. The last one went to Santa Maria (also RC) and she excelled.
Should note my sisters family are not RC even thought the schools were..
As Edie suggested look at school tables as well.
Good luck. Great area.

Re: applecross, good?
We're Oil and Gas expats and have a couple of friends in Applecross. Their kids go to Applecross Primary and then Wesley College in South Perth for high school.
It's a lovely area, very pretty and the housing is of good quality.
Other suburbs to think about are
SOR: Attadale, Mount Pleasant
NOR: Nedlands, Claremont, Dalkeith, Cottesloe, Swanbourne and Mosman Park

area looks ok. pretty much like other areas Ive seen in Perth but I havent seen many, I dont know.
Why not start your own thread on that specific subject?
Most people on here wont have experience of both top private schools and Applecross High..
You may have to do some of your own leg work to find your specific answers
As suggested previously.
Look up league tables
Contact individual private schools and see if they even have a place, you are wasting your time if they havent.
Go and see for yourself and evaluate your own childs individual needs and your aspirations for them with what is on offer.

Re: applecross, good?
You feel less of yourself because of how much money you have, because of where you live, because of the education you have actually BEFORE somebody pointed that out, its all about you, not the "snobs". actually you are that snob.
oh, and I dont care where the person i talk to lives unlike you, btw. its just funny how some of you made that big deal of the name Applecross, if I was rude and Im presumably from Applecross Im snob, if I was from from Armidale Id be a bogan. I dont even live i AX, we are in the catchment zone of the school.
People of the world dont even know the city of Perth exists and to you its suburbs is a huge marker, village mentality.

I sure can - Nobody can make you feel inferiour without your consent (c)

Re: applecross, good?
Apology accepted. There has been no trolling on this thread but considering the amount of information that has been handed over there's been remarkably little in the way of thanks.
It would appear that Applecross is indeed a lovely area and the school also appears good. Whether that will suit your child/ren or not remains to be seen as what works for one student doesn't work for another regardless of quality of schooling.
I think this thread can now be closed. Apologies to Clark66 who made the OP.
