rubyron Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hi We are thinking of registering our kids and getting them on the waiting list. I have read some great things and also comments about bullying and pulling their kids out of this school etc. Could just be a disgruntled ex pupil/parent/staff member. Any views, comments as we are still in the UK and can't visit! Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedolly Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I dont know about the school but you do know that its not in Alkimos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubyron Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I dont know about the school but you do know that its not in Alkimos? Hi Yeah I know its on a temp site in Merriwa. That was other peoples concerns - that they don't seem to be getting far with new site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annjean Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) There is a new private school St James Anglican school in Alkimos opening first term in 2015 from years kindergarten to year 6 I think to start with. If you are interested. Edited August 25, 2014 by annjean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubyron Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thanks. I have had a look at their website. Seems very good. Fair bit more expensive than ABC plus excursions etc so we may struggle with St James. Want to send them to a school within the suburb we live in and don't want to be shipping them to Merriwa long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedolly Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Is there any reason you have picked Alkimos? Its just a building site just now. You have 20 minutes before you even reach the freeway before you start heading anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annjean Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 New train service from near Alkimos at Butler will take 35 min to Perth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubyron Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 We used to live in Heathridge and I worked in the city and husband worked in Malaga. Now as we plan on coming back with kids, we don't need to be so close to the city and would like to be close to the beach and for affordability, the further north we go the better it is money-wise. I would like the kids to go to school in the same suburb as they live (or as close to it). But without a school Alkimos is a bit of a question mark and maybe will look at a more established suburb. Yanchep has been mentioned but not looked into there as yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozzachino Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I was speaking to someone who has connections to the school and she told me its fantastic, she said its one of the best private schools in the baptist network!

annjean Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Quinns Rocks Baptist school is a bit closer to Alkimos than Merriwa, is a very popular school, also Peter Moyes school has a good reputation, a friend of mine her son goes to the Merriwa Alkimos Baptist they live in Yanchep when I asked her when the new school would be opening she did not know, by the way Butler train station now open.

lozzachino Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Quinns baptist is right opposite merriwa, less than 5 mins from the current alkimos baptist school in merriwa, its definitely not closer to alkimos than merriwa.
