guildford grammar school?
Does anyone send their kids here or know anyone who does and could let me know what it's like?
We live in Karratha and the school my kids go to is not brilliant by any stretch of the imagination!! My son is pretty clever(don't know where he gets it from!!) and wants to be a pilot and go to the ADFA after Yr12 and I'm worried that he won't get high enough marks in his TEE's when he does them,he'll be in Yr 10 next year.
We could send him to board at Guildford Grammar and have most of the fees paid for but he's understandably quite unsure about going there.I just don't want him to miss out on the opportunity to go to a better school and get a better education that will help him get where he wants to go in the future.
Need to decide soon as we've just had a book list and fees schedule for the school here!!

I take it you mean the one in Guildford, West Swan?
If you are getting most of the fees paid for and he's happy to board there, then I'd say go for it.
Don't know anyone with kids there, but have heard it is an excellant school. I'd send my son if we could afford it.
Good luck,
Tracey

oh yes,my son needs strict!! he's quite a handful at times and now he's 14 he can argue back and is bigger than me!!
he says that private school kids are nerds but I pointed out to him that he already goes to a private school so he must be a nerd already!!

Just wanted to add that 2 boys who graduated from Helena College in 2005 are now training to be pilots in the RAAF.
