Guest Ddebs Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi everyone, my name is Debs and i have just joined this site. My partner already lives in Port Noarlunga and I am due to join him there mid August with my son who is 11 ( Year 6). I have already got a provisional place in Port Noarlunga Primary but I would welcome any input on secondary (high) schools around that way. I looked at Cardijn College but given that they are full with a waiting list and that a religious background is preferred, it's unlikely he will get in there. I would really appreciate anyones opinions or experiences with any of the other local high schools in the area.:biggrin: Thanks.. Debs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemina Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi Dont know anything about Port Noarlunga as never been before, but i've got an 11 year old boy who was supposed to go to high school over here in September, but been told that he'll be at primary all next year now in SA, so think yours will be in same boat. We're flying out mid August too. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did say that often the UK kids skip a year though as our curriculum seems to be a little ahead of Australia. In a way it would be nice for him to do the extra year at Primary it might help him settle in. Which area are you moving to? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
