Private School or Govenment School?

How soon do you suggest putting your child on a waiting list for a private school? Or does it depend on the school? I feel silly phoning the school now already because my son is only 1.

I have my heart set on Forres prep in Cape Town. Are there any mothers here who have their child/children enrolled at Forres?

Does anyone have any recommendations (public and private) for Emmarentia, Roosevelt Park and surrounding areas in Johannesburg? Does anyone have experience with the public schools in these areas?

I can imagine how you feel. The first time i pass there to go for an interview at the job where i am right now. I saw the school for the first time and say that is where i want my daughter to get her education. It cost a lot of phone calls, e-mails, driving there, and of course prayers for her to get in, but it finally happy, and all the suffering is gone,

I do not know why they advise me so late. They place the children that stay in the area first, then the parents that work, so i work in the area which make it a whole lot easier.

The school is in Waterkloof Pretoria
