Schools to Recommend
Can anybody help with infor about suitable schools in either:
north Brisbane - Redcliffe area
Southport (Gld Coast) in addition to St Hilda's
Ipswich
or even Canberra
Eldest daughter is most probably dyslexic. In the process of getting assessed. Nright and inetligent but needs teh right sort of assistance.
We are both teachers and ghave taught in QLD so we know the systems - but not specific schools in the areas.
we are thinking private if only form a number in the class viewpoint but am open to suggestions.

We live in Scarborough on the Redcliffe Peninsula and have two children of 11 and 14. Robert (11 yr old) goes to Scarborough State School and we are very happy with the teaching and the support from the school. We have no experience as far as dyslexia is concerned but the school does have a very good special needs programme etc. It's a big school with 1,000 pupils but it never feels that way as all the teachers seem to know all the kids and the head master is excellent.
Hannah (the other one) attends Grace Lutheran College and the only way to describe this school....FANTASTIC!!! Again, don't know about the dyslexia side of things but it's worth investigating. (Grace is a private school by the way)
Good luck, it's the hardest thing choosing a school from the other side of the world

) Unfortunately, Queensland education doesn't have a very good website, so you have to look at schools individually, rather than sticking in selection criteria.

I was also told at Ipswich Grammar that if he had special needs, he probably wouldn't get a place. So I would make thorough enquiries before parting with any enrolment fees.
