Hi all

One of my three year old twins wants to start school. But he wants to go to a school with a sandpit. I only want him to go two half days a week but not concerned about paying for 5 days.

Anyone got any suggestions

Cheers
Megan

Etonhouse on Orchard Boulevard. There is a large sandpit in the center of the grounds as well as another one where there is a shaded wooden climbing area. There may be a waiting list - but worth checking out.

Hi Megan,

Not to say that placing your kids in a school that lives up to their expectations isn't important, but I recon there is a whole host of other factors that need to be weighed up before selecting the perfect school for your twins.

I've been looking around for a school for my daughter, and like a previous post mentioned some private schools are 'crazy expensive'

EG: at UWC - You have to pay at least $12,031 to join (registration, deposit, and facility fees). Additionally every year your child is enrolled you have to pay 3,000 for facility fees on top of school fees!!!

Plus there is the quality of the teachers and the curriculum to concider. And all that Jazz!

Anyway good luck in your search
