Hi,

I have been doing some research into private catholic schools NOR and was wondering if anyone has any experience/advice/hearsay on any schools in particular. So far I have contacted Irene McCormack, Prendiville and Mater Dei purely based on geographical considerations but if there is anywhere that is a place definitely worth considering recommendations would be welcome.

Any school that has a rugby team would also be popular!

Thanks in advance

Others that you could try that I know are good are Iona (All Girls - in Mosman Park but take from a large catchment area) Trinity (all boys - and in the middle of the city - not sure if that classifies it as north or south - but excellent sporting reputation definately have a rugby team - transport not bad as trains into city etc) Mercedes College (all girls - again in the city but again take from a large catchment and with the train line transport isn't too difficult) and then Newman college and John 23rd which are both mixed and have good reputations.
