javi1979 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hi all, So I'm hoping to put my children down on the waiting lists for BG and BGGS. My little girl is 14 months and my little boy has just turned 3. I've heard that you should put your child's name down from birth in order of having any chance of getting in. Has anyone had any personal experience of this? I wil contact the schools and see what their waiting lists are like but do you think they stand any realistic chance of getting in? Any experiences would be very much appreciated. Many thanks, Javi xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 You never can tell. Only they will be able to tell you. The GFC has meant that a lot of people no longer have quite the disposable income that they once had. You'll probably be OK - it's the early childhood places that are in high demand.

Fashionably Late Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Some of my daughter's friends go to these schools and many are third generation alumni. It is easier to get their names down now and stay on the list. I would also have back up plans for some of the other fab private schools on offer in Brisbane.

boganbear Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 lol. If you can't I am sure you can get them into Harrow or Eton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maslyn Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 If you like the schools just put their names down it is easier that way (yes there are a few people i have met that put their children down on the list and some 4 to 6 years in advance )and there are some that missed out or got a last minute place due to some families relocating.They are very good schools just make sure they are happy when they get there.
