Compare Mark Oliphant College
- What is a private school?
- A private school is a non-government school. It may be independent or part of a faith-based system, with its own enrolment process, fees, programs and community.
- When might a private school suit my child?
- The right fit depends on your child's learning, wellbeing and support needs, along with the school's location, values, programs, culture and total cost.
- Does paying school fees guarantee better outcomes?
- No. Fees alone do not show how well a school will suit an individual child. Use published data as one input and discuss learning and support directly with the school.
- What should I check before applying?
- Check year levels, enrolment criteria, application dates, waitlists, fees, policies, transport and whether the school can support your child's specific needs.
- What should I ask during a school visit?
- Ask about class structure, teaching approach, student wellbeing, learning support, activities, communication with families and what is included in the fees.
- What should I compare between private schools?
- Compare educational fit, location, total costs, year levels, subject choices, facilities, support services, school culture and verified information such as the ACARA My School profile.
