Schools in Tapping
 
Hi guys
me on again looking for help might be a bit long winded but here we go.

Got my daughter accepted into Banksia Grove RC primary school thought thats a relief as it was a nightmare trying to get her into a catholic school.
St Stephens has about a three to Five year waiting list (nightmare).
Then i have been getting PM from people telling me not to send her there as its not the best school or area.
The problem i have is me and the OH will both be working and we need a school that has Breakfast club and afterschool as well as a nursery for our youngest who is one.If it is not in the school we need the centre to be able to do drop off and pick up from school.
I also want her to go to a catholic school as she is due to make her first Holy Communinon next year which is a very important year for her.
:):)

I told you it was long winded lol.

If anyone can give us some help and advice as its not long till we arrive.

Thanks

Mick

Banksia Grove isn't considered the best suburb in the world if you listen to reputation. However I have friends who live in Carramar who send their kids to Banksia Grove Catholic and are very happy. She tells me that most of the bogans in the area send their kids to the state school not private.

Does the school have onsite daycare. There is an ABC in Tapping and there is a daycare near Carramar Primary School but I don't know of any others in the area.

You have your childs name down, keep an open mind until you have seen for yourself. There isn't a lot you can do till you get here and have a good look around, most people don't sort schools out until they get here.
