Nickster Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hi, We are a family of 4 currently living down Coffs Harbour area and looking to relocate upto the Gold Coast. Our 2 boys age 9 and 6 have settled really well into a smallish school down this way(around 400 pupils) and we would love to find a similar size school....Can anyone out there give us some advice on good smaller state primary schools and nice family suburbs?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as so many of the schools I have checked out seem huge, surely there must be some smaller nice schools on the coast? Thanks :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I believe Currumbin is a nice school and the area is lovely too, im not sure how big the school is though, sorry. This link will give you a list of all the schools, i would imagine Beechmount, Cedar Creek and Benowa etc have smaller pupil numbers as would other smaller village areas. http://www.bcl.com.au/goldcoast/schools.htm Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevsm Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I am not sure you will get any really small schools. Varsity Lakes and Benowa have good high schools so I suspect there will be some good primary schools nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there The school is very popular and growing rapidy due to it's success. There's around 500 in the school at the moment. We love Coomera Waters - it's a little set back from eveything else but lovely and quiet and a very safe area for children. It has a small private sandy beach and park for little ones and also a tavern/resturant, bottle shop and corner shop - everything you could need really! :-) When are you thinking of coming out? DO you have young children? We have two girls aged 8 and 10. The love it here - and the school! Coomera Waters is expensive - we are paying $750 a week for a 4 bed house - it is quite a big house and has a pool. You can get cheaper but you get what you pay for :-) Carla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our boys are 9 and 6, they love it down here and currently go to a lovely school but it's too quiet for me down here and not enough work. It sounds much more ideal in Coomera Waters, we will be driving up to have a look around in a few weeks time. Do you know if the school has a catchment area????:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
