Thought i might as well stick my 4 penneth in!
I schooled in GGS High School (Prince Charles went there- ra ra) for 3 years 81-84 (age 10-13) and it was appalling. The french teacher used to walk out as he couldnt control us. When i returend to the UK i had to have tutoring on a number of subjects to enable me to catch up. I then went on to degree level.
however:-
1. That was along time ago
2. My hubbie has no qulaifications (only C & G) and he earns far more money than me as a Chippie and is far happier in his job.
So the answer is- i would look seriously into Public if it had a good rep but i am also not now purely looking at an acedemic future for my son as there is far more work for skilled tradespeople than pen pushers like me.
PS- anyone know if Carine High is as good as i have heard and any other rec's for Perth area????
