There are many good community orientated Public (state) , Catholic and Independent (private) schools. If you wish your child to attend a local State (public) school you will likely need to live within the school zone (catchment area).
Some Independent Schools may not be able to offer you a place straight away. Coming to view a school in advance and initially enrolling your child before you move is sometimes an advantage.
All of the schools in the Northern Beaches area are are of a High National Standard and easy to reach. Active participation by parents is welcomed and many of the local schools have a strong connection to their community.
There are many pre-schools and childcare facilities but demand completely outstrips supply in many areas of the Northern Beaches. Places can be hard to come by and we advise you to wait list your child in as many places as you can as early as possible.
