I am looking at sending my kids to school (one boy/one girl), preferably a private one.

It is very difficult to know which ones are best, some friends have said MLC for girls, others Carey as it is mixed.

I'm not sure whether they need co-educational.

Any advice?

I went to Xavier College and I can say it was fantastic. A little bit of bullying, but then again what school doesn't. Bullying was only a problem for about 2-3 people. Awesome for sport as well, Xavarians are very competitive in footy and basketball.

I went to Trinity Grammar in Kew. Not as big as Xavier but we always felt the education levels were better due to the teacher student ratio.

I went to Geelong Grammer and think it's an excellent private school. Since i was last there, they have upgraded the facilities big time. If i can afford it, I would send my children then.

+1 would recommend, AA++ [insert ebay recommendation spam here] :)

Yes unfortunately Wikipedia is not the be all and end all of information.

Greatschools.net is a fantastic resource, but is only in America. I'm sure it is only a matter of time before it comes out here in Australia.
