Gold Coast Private school waiting lists - what is the deal !!! ???

Due to the fact that Gold Coast private schools don't take a serious enrolment deposit, they have mile long waiting lists which don't offer anyone a guaranteed place until a few damn months before the entry year ! I just wish they would take large deposits like Melbourne schools do. This guarantees parents are serious about attending the school instead of putting their kids down at 4,5,6 schools etc. I am having full blown anxiety attacks over an uncertain future for my kids while I try to plan our future on the Gold Coast. Does anybody know how bad the waiting list situation really is in this area ???? HELP !!!!!

Correct...that's not a good system. Have you discussed with the school?

I know that our school has all religions not just Catholics.
They have to take a percentage of non-Catholics as well. I think it maybe 20% not too sure, though. It would be worth trying, I think they are taking enrolments now.
Hope that helps you.

Thanks Joanne, no not yet... but I was rejected by St Kevin's in Benowa as whilst we are Christian, we are not Catholic !!!! I assumed I would have the same problem with the other Catholic schools ??? !!!

Of the Public schools in the area, Newbridge Heights has an excellent reputation. Holsworthy has a very good Kindergarten program. Both Wattle Grove and Hammondville are very good schools too.
