B1K3R Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hi there After some research on primary catholic school near Cleveland, we decided that we wish to send our 4 year old princess to the Star of the Sea. Does anyone sends their children there? Whats your opinion of the school? We will be applying this week (from Europe!) and hope all goes well. We're still waiting for our visas to be stamped in Germany and that's why we haven't applied yet (yes, they need a copy of the visas) We're a bit worried that there won't be any place left since people enroll them early. Our little one will start end Jan 2011 if all goes well. Does anyone know if there are still available places left? I'll write the school an email today, I'm just asking here to see if any of you guys know something Thanks!!!! B!K3R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One loves it and her children are happy there and one wasn't happy with it and she moved her child. I think that's always going to be the case though - different things suit different people. It's a new school - only been open a year or so, so it's quite small, but it's modern. I've not heard bad reports about it. Good luck!!!

Guest maidbabes Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hi the school seems really nice and small.Its at the end of my street .The families seem nice there when I pass.I have heard all good things .I am sure it will be a great school for your princess .The little ones look so lovely in their unifroms. I would send mine their if they weren't such big teenagers! Give the school a phone call if no response. otherwise pm me and I'll call in and ask them questions for you x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 OOO I forgot about this one - I meant to come back to you on it. Apparently it wasn't the school that was bad that my friend pulled her daughter out - I think she wasn't happy with the grounds around the school.....not sure what that means!!!!

We got our passports stamped last week, got a letter from our parish and have all the paperwork in hand. So, we'll contact them on Monday and hopefully they'll have a place for next January! Really big thanks for offering help, will keep you updated. I think we will be neighbours :smile: We have been looking at renting in Cleveland and we're thinking of renting something in a complex like these.....what do you think? http://www.domain.com.au/Property/For-Rent/Townhouse/QLD/Cleveland/?adid=6462629 http://www.domain.com.au/Property/For-Rent/Townhouse/QLD/Cleveland/?adid=6689601 There is a complex in Princess Street too....

Guest maidbabes Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Congratulations on the visa! I think you are very wise to rent somewhere central and in your prefered location at not to much cost at first. Then you can decide if you want to live there and enjoy walking everywhere. Those town houses look ok. If i can help please let me know. There are some nice apartments to rent in Raby Bay as well called the Anchorage or something not sure on their rent prices though. Good luck with everything x:wubclub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1K3R Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 Little update... We gave the school a phone call and a lady answered the phone. She was really nice and helpful and they still have places for our little one. So, we'll send all the paperwork this week and it should be all good :biggrin: Another important thing settled! :wink: Thanks!

Guest Maggie01 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hi, We moved out here 8 weeks ago from Ireland and we live in Victoria Point. We send our little girl to Sain Rita's which is also a catholic school and little smaller than Cleveland and I know they have places. Maybe you should look at them. If I can help let me know Maggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maidbabes Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hi My boys went to St Ritas-they loved it.However star of the sea is smaller I think as is new and just phasing in the new year groups, but i may of course be mistaken ! Glad your daughter has settled maggie ,i hope she is happy ther like mine were. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can help let me know Maggie Thanks Maggie! Yes, we checked Saint Rita and from what I've heard its good too! We're trying to get our little one in Start of the Sea cause we'll try to rent in Cleveland for starters. I think it well be easier to commute to city in the beginning since train line starts from there. We will be looking for friends too when we arrive since we don't know a single soul in Brisbane :smile: Cheers B!K3R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
