I am thinking about which school to send my girls to in 2014 - does anyone have feedback on either Our Lady of the Rosary or St Angela's? Any info would be much appreciated! I am also thinking about sending them to William Clarke College, although I've probably left it to late to apply there. Thanks in advance!

Hi, my daughter goes to the school and is in year 3. I have been very happy with the school. Although we are within walking distance of OLOR we were told that we were in the catchment for St Angela's so had to apply there, I refused and eventually got a late offer for OLOR.

Thanks mamatomia, what is the discipline like there if you don't mind me asking? I've heard Beaumont Hills Public School has no discipline and the kids aren't learning the basics there so I'm hoping OLOR is better.

William Clarke is practically impossible to get into these days. A lady in my mother's group who is an old girl of the school had her child down from 4 months of age and still didn't get a spot for kindergarten this year!!! Not to mention the fee increases that they are flagging ohmy.gif She ended up enrolling her child in the Rouse Hill Anglican College and is very happy with it original.gif

We are hoping to send DD to OLOR next year. I have spoken to several parents at daycare whose older children go their and they can't talk highly enough. I do feel we are limited with high school choices in kellyville.

You're right thelms, we are. I have my girls names down on the waiting list at Mount St Benedict's in Pennant Hills, it's a bit of a trek but that might be an option for your daughters?

I also can't recommend Mt St Benedicts as a high school enough. I used to catch 2 buses to get there each morning from Baulkham Hills (Bella Vista side) and was well worth the trip. Excellent school!
