katyr Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hi All, Planning on moving from NZ to Sunshine coast March/April next year. Looked on line at areas and like the look of Kawana Waters as will hopefully get a job at the new hospital. I will be taking my 15year old daughter and 14 year old son and have done some research on line and identified Kawana Waters High School and Mountain Creek High School. Any comments on these schools? Any reason why I would need to look at private schools? Any info welcome. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMT1980 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Good post... I'll be interesting to see the responses, as we're moving to Sunshine Coast in Feb, and have also been looking at the details of Kawana Waters and Mountain Creek school - although we'd be wanting the Primary side.

drstu Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I'm afraid I can't help with schools but we're moving out the Sunshine Coast, probably July - we had three kids aged 5, 4 and 1. It'd be great to keep in touch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katyr Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Well who knows it might be me who can advise on schools when I get there. Always good to stay in touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Both Schools are good, but probably the most highly rated school locally is Chancellor State College in Sippy Downs / Buderim. It is outstanding and we pulled our kids out of a "top" private school locally to get ours in there. Brilliant primary school too. Its adjacent to the university and shares facilities, but also the kids see it as a natural progression from an early age that going to university is something that will happen.

roger2shirts Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Look at Mountain Creek or Chancellor State College - both are excellent - but unless you live in the catchment you stand no chance of getting in. Chancellor is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancellor is superb. Thanks for that I will make sure I rent in the appropriate catchment area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
