Smile Any Advice re Schools on Sunshine Coast

Hi



While following the thread on schools, Mountain Creek High School has popped up as the highly recommended school in this area. We have 4 kids from primary right up to year 12, and given the split shift structure (7.20am - 1.00pm for senior years and 10.00am - 4.00pm for middle school years), and 8.30am - 2.40 pm for the primary kid, this means that mom would be driving every 2 hours every school day, 6 trips a day! Trying to find if there's a more efficient way around this.

Anyone has experience/knowledge/opinions abt other good schools in the area, eg Kawana Waters? Thanks.

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Kind regards

Yes this is the downside of the school! The only way around it would be to buy/rent a house within cycling distance of the school. Your kids could then cycle in and you could just drop the younger ones off at the primary school. Cycling is a lot safer here you have to wear a helmet and can ride on the pavement, so there is less chance of accidents.

I cannot recommend Kawana High as I have only heard bad reports, not of the school so much, but rather the pupils behaviour etc. Parents I have spoken to have taken their kids out of there or Caloundra high and are sending them to my kids Private school because of the problems.

Thank you very much for sharing. It has helped so much.

Hope it wont be too difficult renting a house within walking/cycling distance to the school, especially in January.

Have a nice day!

Kind regards
