We are a french familly moving to Brisbane. We are wondering if you heard something about the Jindalee State School International program (from EQI). Our 3 kids will not speak English (only few words) so we are wondering if this program is well constructed and if the help to the kids is important.
The cost of this section is very elevated (11000 dollars per kids per year), so it is important to be sure that the management of the kids will be good.
In addition, if you have comments on the classical program Jindalee State School : school friendly, open minded, familly friendly suburb...
Thank you for your comments,

Hi Claire
My friends son went to this school. He is an English speaking student coming from Ireland which has a very different curriculum to what is taught here and likely to what your children are used to.
Obviously, I cannot comment on what their International Programme is like but I can tell you that my friend was very happy having her son schooled there. It is has a nice student community and if it was necessary to see assistance from teachers in respect of her sons learning, they were very accommodating. It is in a beautiful setting and I know lots of children who attended this school and it is thought to be one of the better junior schools within this catchment area. I think maybe the only other school that does have a better reputation is the Lutheran school in Middle Park but I believe you may have to be part of that denomination to attend, but i cannot be sure.
Around this area, I live only a few km from Jindalee, there are a lot of international students that are brought into the area and integrated into the schools. I am lucky, my son went straight into a great secondary school.
There are numerous junior schools around this area both state and private.
Are you here yet, if so, go and look and take in a lesson or two for yourself with other foreign students before committing.
