How to Choose the Best High School for Your Child?

It’s important to consider factors such as:

Academic Performance: Schools with strong ATAR and NAPLAN results can provide a solid foundation for university admissions.
Extracurricular Activities: Whether your child is interested in sports, music, drama, or debating, look for schools that offer a variety of extracurricular programs.
Facilities and Resources: Schools with state-of-the-art facilities, modern classrooms, and advanced technology labs provide an enhanced learning experience.
Support Services: Consider schools that offer counseling, academic support, and career guidance to help students navigate their high school years.
Community and Culture: Each school has its own culture, so visiting the school and talking to staff and current students can provide insight into whether it’s the right fit for your child.
