I wouldn't build your hopes up. As the previous poster said you will have a better chance with private.

I do not have any first hand experience of state secondary schools, but I gather that they can be quite anonymous and kids can fall through the net.

OK for generally pulling the cohort in the right direction but not so hot at looking after individual needs.

As I said though, I have no first hand experience of state secondaries (but lots of experience of private secondaries!) so happy to stand corrected.

Call one of the schools and ask about their special needs provision - how many specialist staff does the school employ, is there a dedicated dept etc etc. Duncraig, Carine, Ocean Reef would be good starting points.

But I fear that you may have been spoilt in the UK where pots of cash have been thrown at SN.

'Scuse typos and punctuations in the following - too late and too much wine to be careful....


Depends on your budget and your religion.

St Stephens Duncraig/Carramar will be good.

St Marys - Karruinyup (Girls) excellent

Hale (Wembley Downs) Boys will be excellent

Sacred Heart (Catholic) - Hillarys will be very good

Lake Joondalup (Baptist?) may be good

St Andrews Greek orthodox (Dianella) should be good
