Hi Guys

Can you please kindly advise me of the best primary schools in the South of Perth please?

Is there a website I can log onto showing league tables for the Perth region please?

Any advice in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes

Debbie

The suburb of South Perth? Or South of Perth? In South Perth/Como, you have South Perth Primary, St Columba's Primary, Como Primary, Collier Primary, St Joseph's Primary, Penrhos and Wesley (private girls and boys schools). My kids went to St Columba's last time we lived in Perth and it's a lovely little Catholic school.

As Kim67 says, there is a suburb called South Perth, and there are suburbs referred to as South of the River (SOR). From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Perth_suburbs) I have copied a list of suburbs SOR, organised by the local council area - this can be used if you want to find out more info about the suburb, as each council has data on each suburb in its area. * in the list below indicate that part of that suburb is in an adjoining council area, name in brackets.

Note: this list of suburbs might not be complete as new ones are created regularly as Perth keeps on growing.

Use the MySchool website http://www.myschool.edu.au/ to search by suburb, or school name if you know it.

Example: type in Melville in the "Search by suburb, town or postcode" box. If there are other suburbs in Australia with the same or similar name, a list appears, so click on the one for Melville, WA, then click search. In the case of Melville, 2 schools appear, click on one. Click on "I accept" for T&C and then you get some details on that school. If you look at the top left you will see a blue box with other options. If you click on "Local schools", you will get a list of other schools in the area, state and private, with links for each school.

This is one website with rankings, not perhaps the easiest to use, for 2009 http://bettereducation.com.au/school...ol_rating.aspx
