Jersey2Perth Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Please can you help me? Are there any/many State or Private (not Catholic) schools that go from primary through to year 12, preferably co-ed too? We are hoping to move to Perth in the UK summer of 2016. We have 3 children. Our eldest girl is 9 and would join year 5 in the UK in Sept2016. Middle girl will be 6 and due to join year 2 in Sept2016. Our youngest, a boy will be 4, almost 5 and due to start in reception - the first year of school in the UK in Sept2016. I know in NSW the ages and school years coincide with the UK but I am unsure of the WA situation. There does not appear to be the breadth of choice as there is in Sydney, though this is the same between many major cities. I have only just started investigating Perth schools. Our moving plans have changed from Sydney to Perth because hubby will need to travel a great deal to Asia so it makes sense. We swung by Perth last summer to activate our visas - a 2 day flying visit! I know a little of Perth of old having lived in Cottesloe for 8 months in 2002 - but it is a different city now - places and suburbs that were desert when I was living there! We are flexible of location and have a healthy budget for renting/buying so schools really are the focus at the moment. Any pointers gratefully received.

Scot01 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 no Govt schools are K - 12. There are lots of private ones, mainly Catholic for co ed but also a few Anglican and Baptist ones. Some are better than others (particularly amongst the Baptist ones). Off the top of my head - so may have check them out, the better co ed K- 12 schools are All Saints College, Wesley (though it may only be girls in the primary), Lake Joondalup Baptist College, John Wollaston and Kingsway Christian. The top K-12 co-ed Catholic - John XXIII College and Sacred Heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutnudger Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Roleystone community college is K to 10 with the school and p&c pushing to go to year 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Roleystone community college is K to 10 with the school and p&c pushing to go to year 12. In WA this is classed as a "District High School" - DHS..... Not sure they will get the push to Y12 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutnudger Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 It used to be called roleystone district high but the primary joined with the district high which was years 6 to 10 but it is now the community college which does k to 10 on the one site. I went to the primary school and to the DHS my children now go to the school. We are pushing for it to go to year 12. It it is not a district high anymore as it has a primary side attached to the school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Thanks Nutnudger..... I knew they had amalgamated, but didn't realise they had changed name. Good luck with trying to get the Y11 and Y12 included but guessing you are head on rock banging with the Education Dept. They hate change unless they instigate it..... said as an ex-employee of same!
