Where can we find a list of schools on the web?
We need both public and private. I have searched in different places but there must be a simpler way!!
Where is Wendy when I need her?

thanks, Lawrenson

We have been looking at going to VIC as our subjects are in demand but since we are going to have to get sponsorship we are not going to narrow the options. So we could be looking at SA, VIC & NSW. Initially we were going to register in VIC and then see what info we can get from the other states.

Feedback is that they are crying out for teachers at secondary level and the education dept in VIC have said that our ages should not be a problem as schools are looking for experience.

It's just getting in that's the problem!!

If you are going to Queensland go to:-

www.education.qld.gov.au

Click on Directories - School directories, then click on search at the bottom of the page.
This brings up all the schools in Qld - hundreds of them

I have a PDF file of Victoria's 2005 VCE results if you would like a copy so you can see which secondary schools are the best performers.


I also did a little exercise on a MS Excel spreadsheet (a shortlist of good secondary schools based on these results for my 11 year old daughter) if you would like either (pm me). Also, I can recommend a brilliant book I sent for on the internet called 'Hobsons Guides: The Good Schools Guide 2006: Victoria. Tells you everything from key facts about the schools, % of boys to girls, uniform policy, fees to extra curricular activities on offer and interestingly, the % of leavers going on to work/university. I found it very useful...........find it at. It took about 5 days to arrive.

lawrenson

that looks like it will be useful, thank you. Does it have contact details for the schools?

Dianej

Contact details, e mial, telephone nos, name of head teachers - everything you need plus a large section all about how Victorias schooling system works and how to choose a good school based on the information supplied in the book. It was about £17 including P&P from Oz.

Hope this helps?
