Hi,

does anyone know personally or otherwise anything about this school? I will appreciate any information, good or bad, doesn't matter. Thanks heaps.

The junior campus or the senior campus?
The Senior Campus has a strong Performing Arts & Visual Arts program.
Students come from all over the state to study music & drama.
It is a big campus & has no school uniform.
Not sure exactly what you would like to know.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I wanted basically to find out whether it is a "good" school. I will be interested in both campuses as I wanted my son to stay in one school from year 7 onwards (he absolutely HATES changes). It is excellent that they are strong in performing arts as my son is a very musical child. How are they in other subjects? Their website obviously says how excellent they are but so do all the other schools. So I will really appreciate the info from people who either attended the school themselves, have their children there or personally know someone who does.

When comparing government schools the nearest 'like' school is Brighton Sec. College.
It is zoned though. I checked the VCE ladder in the paper & the number of ENTER scores over 40 was very similar & Sandringham has a better range of subject choices.

I am sure either school would be fine.:ecomcity:
