The Best Schools in Brisbane

The top Suburbs for great Schools in Brisbane

One of the most important things we consider when moving abroad or interstate is schools for our children. In fact I think we often place this above our own needs. A couple of things to remember though is:

1. It is down to each individual child if they exceed. I've seen parents pay for their child to attend $80,000 a year private schools only for them to drop out and end up working in a fast food chain. I've also seen children who have been to a below average school excel and become a company director.
2. State schools are zoned. If you are looking at attending a high ranking government school you will need to live in their zoned area. Sometimes this may be impossible to secure a rental in due to high demand. A private school is not usually zoned, however, make sure you can secure a place because if there are no vacancies you will need to attend the state school in the zone of your rental.
