I've found their website http://www.sheldoncollege.com/ but fees aren't mentioned. Looks like you'll either have to email or phone to get fee info.

Not at all - just thought someone might have a rough idea before we contact schools to arrange visits etc - have seen all the websites etc just hoping for some inside info but just our luck to get one of the less helpful BE members.

Hvae just received our bill - can't find all the deails about building fund etc, but we did cough up. My year 6 (age 11)costs: $1548 & my year 9 (13 year old) costs: $1810 per semester. These fees are considerably less than you'd pay for a middle of the road private school in the Oxfordshire/Berks UK - trust me, we looked into it. On top of this you will pay camp fees. Music tuition (great school for music) academic comptetion fees extra sports(after school) fees. The list does seem to go on. However, we are very happy, the kids are happy. Sheldon have very good morals & keep them up. It is a strict but fair school.

Happy hunting!

Thanks - our kids are in state schools here and attend a great local primary school but we were considering private schools for the next stage so will look at both in Oz. We have a couple of weeks accommodation booked in Burbank so will arrrange a visit to Sheldon College and worry about whether we can afford it afterwards!

Hi
Not sure of the join up fees but they are probably similar to Ormiston. Our Child is in middle college and we pay $1600.00 per term plus extras if you want drama etc. Our Eldest just left Sheldon - seniour was about $1900.00 per term. Academic school - very good on discipline but if you compare private school fees to British Public school fees - cheap at the price and very good quality.

There is a waiting list for Sheldon and the facilities are very good and brand new as the school is only 10 years old.
good luck on your move

Hi our two kids go to Ormiston which is a great school. Heard good things also about Sheldon (to disciplined for us though) also Iona Catholic Boys school has a good reputation. Other than that I would say Cleveland State School which I have on VERY good authority, is the best state school in the Redlands (and very cheap). Redlands College very christian (which may suit you (but not us)

good luck!

We have a private Maths tutor for our son and she has worked in most of the local schools organising curriculum or general teaching. She speaks very highly of the way the learning is structured at Cleveland High. I don't know any kids that go there so I can't give an opinion myself, but you've gotta trust somebody sometime .....
