Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and hope I could get some advice here in regards to selecting future school for my son who is now 1 year old. We want to send him to a private school at some stage ( K or year 3 or year 5) but would also want him to start at a a local shcool so that he can make friends with local kids. Both Knox Grammer Prep School and Wahroonga Public School are close to our place. Can I ask what do you think of the quality of these two schools ( park the costing concern)? Any advice will be appreciated.

I don't know much about Knox, but Wahroonga (The Bush School) seems like an excellent public school. We're hoping to send our kids there but we're slightly outside the catchment zone.

The Bush School has a great reputation, but have no knowledge of it directly. We did a tour of Knox and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread! (Had been to every other boys school in a 30km radius!)
