We are on a property (cropping though) in WA and are at the boarding school exploring stage. Like yours both my kids were enrolled at birth. After lots of thought our son will probably go where my husband went and my daughter to my old school. Not for traditional reasons but rather as they are both excellent still and would suit our individual kids. (And so expensive that even the miniscule old girls/boys discount will help! - lots of sacrifices to be made here I think in years to come....)<br /><br />Take care.A Farmer's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094401205258678969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930119879518023854.post-12815275205361829202013-05-16T17:12:08.328-07:002013-05-16T17:12:08.328-07:00What a good idea!

There are so many factors in play, and it is something that keeps me awake at night wondering how we will send all three away from year 7. My husband went to Scots Bathurst and Sydney and they were both wonderful experiences.<br /><br />BTW, I can't see your blog. I click on your name and two blogs come up, but nothing showing. Are you private? I can't see another blog I follow also, so perhaps it is my end?Cattle and Cushionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984889684282518364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930119879518023854.post-36409242538793479262013-05-15T21:31:07.461-07:002013-05-15T21:31:07.461-07:00Hi Jo, I have just recently discovered your blog ...Hi Jo, I have just recently discovered your blog and really enjoy it. We have been in your shoes, trying to decide on what school to send our three children to as well. Newington and PLC are my husbands family schools, but as we live just out of Bathurst we chose to send them to SCOTS. We have never regretted the decision, and yes sacrifices have been made so that all three could go from Preprep to year 12 but one we have never regretted! Good luck with the decision making and hope your young chap does well. Fiona is right you will never regret paying the money. Hope you don't mind me putting my 2cents worth in, but I have been in your shoes and you worry if you are doing the right thing by your kids. I love reading about your life so keep the blogs coming!<br />Regards, TraceyBe it ever so Humblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466475260360626010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930119879518023854.post-16880260243726763302013-05-08T14:54:32.155-07:002013-05-08T14:54:32.155-07:00thank you so much Jo about the furniture comment -...thank you so much Jo about the furniture comment - that is lovely. I know what you mean about the money for schools. so damn expensive and will only rise - IO blogged about Kambala a little while ago mainly to thank my parents for paying the fees. it was such a good experience going to school there. You will never regret paying the money. My dad says that to us.<br />take Care, FionaFiona, Lilyfield Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051970432044610864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930119879518023854.post-89703339764032921242013-05-06T22:44:34.054-07:002013-05-06T22:44:34.054-07:00I would love to have the $$$ to send my boys right...I would love to have the $$$ to send my boys right through from Prep to year 12!<br /><br />If I had a girl, she would go to Kambala also. It is a fantastic school and you must of loved it too. My husband went to Scots in his last couple of years and loved it - that is why it is my first choice of school. Only one downer - it is so, so expensive. Especially to put three through.<br /><br />If we decide to send our boys there, my boy will be in the same year as your friend's boy when he starts in year 7.<br /><br />Pottery Barn - lovely shop, great accessories, not as cheap as the States. <br /><br />I think your furniture has much more character than PB's. xxCattle and Cushionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984889684282518364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930119879518023854.post-32122641335456258922013-05-06T17:50:50.909-07:002013-05-06T17:50:50.909-07:00hi Jo, I went to Kambala and had a lot to do with ...hi Jo, I went to Kambala and had a lot to do with Scots and our good friends have just started their son there as a Year 5 day boy. I think you won't go wrong! and yes the view is so beautiful especially from the oval. Hope you enjoyed your trip even if it was rushed - i haven't been to Pottery Barn yet - will have to get there someday. cheers FionaFiona, Lilyfield Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051970432044610864noreply@blogger.com
