Hello

We've been here for 6 months and our girls have found school very very easy here and are bored. They've now been assessed and and turns out they fall into the "gifted" category.

We are trying to get their school to give them more challenging work and I'm hoping that we'll be able to resolve it and not move them, but as a last resort are thinking of finding a school with better academic standards.

Can anyone recommend a primary school between Perth and Mandurah that might suit our girls?

Thanks guys

Hello my dear!
Was thinking....have you tried Frederick Irwin?

You need to get your skates on real quick. I think the closing date for 'gifted and talented' education is March 20th(you have to register first) the exams I believe are in April. My son sat these exams and gained a place on the program. All the info is on www.det.wa.edu.au/education/gifttal or you can phone (08) 92645513. Good luck!!

oops just noticed you wanted primary schools, this is for high school (year 8 onwards) but it's worth giving them a ring and asking them if they have any advise.

Oh how many names have you got! Yes tried Frederick Irwin - miles long waiting list and unlikely to get a place.

Thanks that's a great idea I'll call them.
