I'm pretty sure TSS is supposed to be the best school on the gold coast, quite expensive from what I've heard though.

Depends on whether the boy going is extremely smart or just normally intelligent who doesn't necessarily want to go to Uni. If he falls into the latter sector, it's most definitely not the best school. :D

Everyone has their own opinion as to the best school for their child, whether that bears any relation to your child's needs and requirements is another matter. All I would say is that there are very very few 'bad' schools on the coast and even those are not bad compared to some of the failing schools in the UK, it's all relative and even those schools are very good for some children.

A truly impossible question to answer because all the schools are slightly different and all children are totally individual. A few schools get mentioned when people ask this question and personally I would never send my children to those schools simply because I know they would not have suited my girls.

I had two in this school, now down to one the other is now in Uni, a very challenging school with an internationally recognised qualification at the end of it.
