I am struggling to understand the practical differences between private girls schools on Lower North Shore. Anyone got any comparisons of Queenwood, Wenona and SCEGGS??
(and i've beaten Wenona and SCEGGS in debating. hah)

oh, well, i don't actually know what the other two schools are like, but Queenwood has a good variety of extra-curricular activities, and the teachers are really good!
(except for the head of maths - mrs semler. she's smart, but can't teach.)

and if you ask anything, there likely to come up with something. i mean, for example, when you find the science teacher is bad, you can merely complain, and they will quickly attempt to fix the problem. one whole class switched because the teacher was impossible. (well, they were doing HSC)

C.Dad get info on teacher sick days over say last 2-3 years. Just general number of sick days. Compare average. Study how changes in the leadership elements ( dept heads principal etc) affect sick days.
